ITunes no longer able to sync Calendar items and Bookmarks on iPhone.

Things have been going great with syncing my iPhone through iTunes on my 24" intel iMac, until yesterday (3/9/08). I haven't changed anything in the last couple of days. I always download and install the latest iPhone, iMac, iTunes updates the same day they come out. So it's been about a week since those last updates, and things synced fine until just yesterday. I create and reschedule A LOT of calendar items on my iPhone, and create a fair amount of bookmarks as well.
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Wayne

Well, it's been over a week now, and still no real answers on how to fix this syncing issue. Does anyone know how to revert my iPhone to the previous version of its software? Things worked fine until the recent update.
I've even opened up my quandry to Cliff and the forum gang at GSPN.tv's "Help iGot a Mac" podcast and forums. Here is the link to that thread: http://gspn.tv/forum/index.php?topic=977.0
Maybe together, a better solution that a full iPhone restore is out there (I just can't risk losing the 120+ calendar items I've created on my iPhone since the last successful sync with my iMac).
Thanks in advance,
Wayne

ITunes no longer able to sync with Outlook

Hello,
This is my first ever post on any forum so please go easy on me.
I have an iPhone 4s, and iPad1 and run Windows7. I recently tried using iCloud but didn't like the Outlook calendar (appearance or speed) so wanted to go back to just syncing via my USB cable.
I have followed all steps on here, restoring the iPhone, removing and reinstalling iTunes completely (5 times now) and my phone and iPad will no longer sync, they just sit in never land at either backing up calendar or contacts (I have tried leaving them on for hours at a time). I have now lost my calendar and all of the music off the iPhone so hoping for a solution.
I have heard iTunes no longer supports syncing via iTunes, they want you to use iCloud but can't find anything definitive on this but it would explain why I can't get this to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I have tried everything.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using Google's sync services that are free yet? It sounds to me like you are not using Exchange for your iPhone with work. So, that would leave it open to use with Google. Keep your Google sync with your work calendar (Outlook), then sync up the Google Calendar with iCal so you have the calendar at home. Separately, setup your iPhone to sync real-time with your Google Calendar using the Microsoft Exchange settings. If all you are trying to do is get your one calendar to be the same everywhere, that will do it and it's all free. Here are links to instructions:

*Google Calendar Sync To Outlook (sounds like you already have this setup):*

Unless I missed a detail, I think that does it for you.

Itunes 9.2: can´t sync calendar, contacts, notes...

Hi all,
sorry for my bad english. I´m from germany.
since the itunes 9.2 update my contacts, calendar, notes and bookmarks (the hole tab, its called "Info" in german itunes) wont sync with my iphone 3G (iOS 4.0) and iPod Touch 1G (3.1.3). Other media like music, books, videos etc. working fine.
Theres no error message or something like that. After syncing the checkboxes to overwrite contacts etc. on iphone/ipod are still checked. Before 9.2 they get unchecked after syncing.
the mdcrashreporter.exe appears for a short time in taskmanager.
its no problem with outlook because windows contacts wont sync too.
Tried everything...
- reinstall itunes and all other apple products
- reinstall office (outlook)
- export/import new calendar, contacts, etc. from/to outlook
- new outlook storage file
- new calendar, contacts, etc.
- sync without option to overwrite data on iphone
- hard/soft reset iphone
- restore iphone (with and without backup)
- sync only contacts (without music, videos, bookmarks etc)
- sync all
- troubleshooting article from apple.com
- user help from here
- repair MobileDeviceSupport/ApplicationSupport
- sync windows contacts
System:
iPhone 3G @iOS4
iPod Touch 1G @3.1.3
iTunes 9.2
Outlook 2007 (all patches)
Win7 (all patches)
no hacks/third-party-software/jailbreaks or something else
no other device-backups in itunes so I need to sync with outlook or windows contacts. a phone without contacts is useless...more than one week after this ** itunes update theres still no fix
need help please. I read all the other posts here but nothing fixed my problem. someone out there with an idea?

Same error with different dates.

reinstalled MobileDevice Driver (from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers). nothing.
reinstalled AppleMobileDeviceSupport. nothing.
reinstalled office 2007/itunes 9.2. nothing.
changed USB port. nothing.
next phone will be a non apple product..need my phone, my contacts and my calendar(!!!) and there is still no fix since 2 weeks...no way to downgrade..what a joke...

Ideas?

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ron

the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more

ITunes 11: No longer able to sync via USB

I updated to the latest version of ITunes. I am now no longer able to sync either my iPod Nano nor iPod Touch via USB. When trying to copy music from the computer to either devices, the progress is extremely slow for the 1st song and then stopps while tryng to sync the 2nd song.
When I downgrade to version 10.x I have no issues syncing again.

Additional info:
I am able to sync my iPad 2, just not the older generation iPod nano and iPod Touch

ITunes says it can't sync calendar b/c calendar on iPod is in use.

Hi all. I'm stumped. I just got a new iPod Touch. I was able to sync my contacts (and everything else) through iTunes on my MacBook, but I got an error message about the calendar: "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPod 'iPod Touch' because the calendars are in use by the iPod. Close the calendars setting on the iPod and try again." The problem is, I don't have the calendar open on the iPod, and don't see where I could close it in any case.
Then, I thought I would just enter things manually onto the calendar, but I can't do that either, as there's no + sign and no way to enter/add anything.
I've googled around about this and seen people saying to turn on the calendar in iCloud. But when I do that, it just crashes. It says it's starting to merge and then crashes, sometimes instantly, sometimes after a minute. I can't use iCloud for now anyway because my MacBook is running Snow Leopard, and I'm not planning to upgrade to Lion until I get a new computer.
I've been syncing my first generation iPod Touch to my MacBook for almost 4 years now with no difficulties. And, as I said, the contacts and everything else worked fine. It's just the calendar, which I really need to be able to update. I tried to sync it with my Outlook calendar at work, just to see what would happen, and I got the same error message.
Ideally, I'd like a fix that will allow me to sync it with either iCal on my MacBook or with my Outlook calendar on my work computer. In any case, I need to be able to update it manually but don't know how to get the + sign back.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sue

You will need to Restore the device...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

I am not able to sync calendar to iCloud

This applies to any calendar item created on the iPhone. They do not appear on my iMac or iCloud. Any solutions please? A freind recommended this but I'm dubious, given I could lose all my existing data created on the iPhone, which I have upgraded to iOS 5.
First, upgrade to the latest iPhone software.. should be iOs 5.
Then, I formatted my phone.. go to Settings > General > Reset - Erase All Content and Settings
This will delete everything from your phone and re-format.. It's like getting a new one.
Don't plug your phone to iTunes.. just set up normally through the prompts.. while setting up, don't select to use from a back up.. start new. The next window will ask if you have an iCloud.. you put in your login and password, and everything works.
The new system does everything wireless.. Don't ever plug to iTunes..

Windows phones and iCloud are not compatible I'm afraid. Try going to the iCloud website on your phone, you may be able to view it there.

Iphone 4 sync issue - My iTunes is not able to sync the iPhone 4. I'm using windows 7 32bit. At the first step it gets stuck refelcting backing up the phone then nothing happens for ages. I'm using the latest iTUnes version, does anyone have similar prob

My iTunes is not able to sync the iPhone 4. I'm using windows 7 32bit. At the first step it gets stuck refelcting backing up the phone then nothing happens for ages. I'm using the latest iTUnes version, does anyone have similar prob??? There are no error codes which appear and the iTUNES just gets hanged, is there a solution?

Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option. Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course).
Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

You cannot sync Outlook 2011 directly with an iPhone, but if you go to the Tools menu and choose Sync Services, you can have Outlook sync with iCal and Address Book, which will then sync with the iPhone. And if your business is using Microsoft Exchange, you can set the iPhone up to communicate and sync directly with the Exchange server.

No longer able to sync all photos

I own an iPhone 3G and a Macbook
I used to be able to sync all my photos to my iPhone but connected it today and it started to delete some pictures.
I hadn't deleted any from iPhoto but they were being deleted from my iPhone.
Now I can't add all my pictures, unless I do so manually.
The photos from the most recent events are all there, but the older the get, the sparser they become.
I have 3700 or so pictures but can only sync 2200.
I have plenty of space on my iPhone and had more than half the space remaining when all my pictures were on there before.
Any ideas?
Ian

Hi Ian,
Try deleting the iPod photo Cache folder and then syncing again.

If the issue persists try rebuilding the iPhoto library.
