MAVERICKS - That (Syncing), Sinking Feeling! ………. This Fixed Mine……..……….
iPad, iPod not syncing on Mavericks…. I-Tunes freezing on connection of same to the usb port! The following fixed these issues on my MacBook Pro running 10.9.3. I do have Xcode on my laptop, but have never used it…. I’m not a programmer or hacker, just a cheesed of Apple fan. I tried many of the already suggested possible fixes and nothing helped. Got fed up using the disk repair utility and getting no further on.
I opened System Preferences, Security & Privacy/Privacy. In Accessibility, after having scanned all my files many times, I added the following apps, some of them may be developer tools from Xcode, and gave them all control….. then did a computer restart.
AppleMobileDeviceHelper.app
AppleMobileSync.app
ARDAgent.app
Automator Runner.app
CalendarFile Handler.app
CMFSyncAgent.app
CoreServicesUIAgent.app
File Sync.app
FileSyncAgent.app
Image Events.app
iTunes.app
Migration Assistant.app
Syncrospector.app
SyncServer.app
UnmountAssistantAgent.app
USB Prober.app
I suspect it was probably overkill, but it worked. My iPad and iPod are visible and syncing as normal in iTunes. The program is running normally. hope it helps everyone………

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

IPhone quit syncing with Outlook after disabling iCloud

I have a new iPhone. I hooked it up with a cable to my laptop running Win 7 and did a sync using iTunes with Outlook Pro Plus 2010. Everything sync'd fine (calendar, contacts, notes). I did several syncs. I decided to try syncing with iCloud and so installed iCloud on the pc and turned sync on the phone. It didn't do what I thought it would so I turned it off (selected off on the iphone and uninstalled iCloud off the laptop). At this point, I said I did not want data from iCloud saved on my phone for calendar, but I think I said to save it for the other two apps. I then noticed that I no longer had a "calendar" listed under my calendars (I still have some internet calendars I have linked to), but not the default calendar. I can only save new items to one of the internet calendars. There isn't a "add calendar" button on the phone to add more calendars on the phone - only to add calendars with outlook.com, exchange, gmail, etc.
I tried syncing to Outlook, but it will no longer sync. It will sync notes and contacts fine (I tested both and it seems to be working fine). I have tried closing and rebooting both pc and phone, uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling, resetting sync in itunes, setting sync to push data from the pc to the phone. I turned iCloud sync on for calendar and then shut it back off...but this time, I told it to save the data on the phone. The "calendar" saved from pc showed up on the phone. However, it won't sync with Outlook. In iTunes, it was showing two "calendars" with both selected. I added a new calendar at that point on the phone called calendar. I deleted the other calendars that iCloud added - but still no luck on syncing. After deleting all the iCloud calendars and the added calendar, the two listings in iTunes went away (when syncing was working, there weren't any individual calendars listed in iTunes).
I think the issue is from 1 of 2 things: 1) something got messed up with they sync and it is trying to sync to a blank calendar in my outlook - not looking at the default calendar (unlikely) 2) it can't sync with the phone because the default calendar no longer exists on the phone (likely).
Any ideas on how to recover the default calendar or how to fix the sync issue? I have been trying to find all I can on the internet, but after troubleshooting for several hours, I am at a loss.
Thanks

I figured out how to recover the calendar and get syncing again (or at least a work around), so thought I would post in case someone else has the issue. To recover the calendar, you need to log out of all calendars on the iPhone and it will recreate the default calendar. When you try to log back into another calendar, it will ask if you want to delete the default and warn that there may be duplicates by not deleting it. Since it was blank, duplicates wasn't a concern.
To recover syncing again, I looked up where the sync files are stored. I copied all folders that looked like they had anything to do with syncing to a temporary folder in case I had issues that I needed to recover from. I then went in and deleted all the sync files I could find from the date I tried to use iCloud. I also deleted the sync database which caused iTunes to not be able to sync correctly. Next, I did a repair on iTunes. When it came back up, it allowed me to reset everything up as if I hadn't sync'd the phone before. It seems to now be working again.

Phones that sync with Outlook

Hi,
Could you please help me choose a low price Nokia Phone that is able to synchronize contacts with Microsoft Outlook?
I posses a Windows Mobile PDA/Phone which will be sent for service (for a long period) and would like a "cheap" replacement that could carry most of my personal information.

If I'm not mistaken entry level phones of Nokia(1XXX, 2XXX) can sync with outlook for contacts & other things. You have to look which one, have other option aside from cable for connectivity like wireless(i.e IR or Bluetooth). Go to Nokia site & compare specs for each one that may suits your need. I heard Nokia just release one with an S40 symbian firmware, don't know if available now & in your place.
After having a backup phone of Nokia, you might get used to its very user friendly menu & swap your non-symbian expensive PDA to a Nokia Smartphone.

Itunes has just quit syncing with outlook calender

My itunes recently quit syncing with my outlook 2003 calender, I removed itunes as per the instructions and reinstalled its still not syncing, has anyone else had this problem maybe since the itunes update?

What version of Outlook do you have? It's possible that iOS6 has limited backwards compatibility.

Why has my iPod Touch 4 Quit sync with Outlook Calendar?

My iPod Touch 4 is merely 93 days old. Suddenly on the day my 90 day support expired, I noticed that it was no longer syncing my Calenar with Outlook on my PC yet the Contacts seem to sync Ok. Any ideas what might be causing this development? Nothing was changed in the settings.

Cannot sync with outlook express, can you?!

Hi
WinXP, outlook express 2002 at home.
WinXP pro, outlook 2003 at work.
Set up to sync, connect, get prompt from Outlook asking me for how long I want to grant (iTunes) access to my Outlook account, specify 5 minutes, after 2 seconds I am told "iTunes could not copy Calendars to the iPOD".
Help talks about ensuring calendar is shared. That seems to only be an option in Outlook, not Express.
Ai work I could not save an appointment manually (one-by-one) to the iPOD. (It did not compalin during save process but on iPOD there is no entry for the date I exported event from.) From Express I can manually export.
Help also talks about ensuring the calendar has an email address. Anyone know what that means?
Any ideas?
Oli
iPOD...so near yet still so far!

Sorry, Microsoft windows-based phones use Outlook only. Outlook Express is just an email client.

Pearl 8110 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110, and I upgraded the Desktop Manager, then it quit syncing with outlook calendar. It does sync with noes, memos, addresses, but no calendar. when the sync is getting to the calendar it says "please wait" then just kicks me out. No error message in the log, nothing. I even retrograded back to 4.7.0.17, but no changed. Here is what else I have:
Blackberry 4.5.0 Core Applications 4.5.0
Blackberry 4.5.0 System Software Properties
Blackberry MDS runtime Properties 4.5.0.20
The calendar is the big thing for me. Any Ideas??
Thanks

I just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same problem with my 8120 and it started on the 18th. I spent 3 hours, 39 minutes, and 42 seconds on the phone with BB support yesterday with no luck and we tried every trick they could think of. I'll certainly let you know if I find any information since I too can't live without my calendar.

Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files.
When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.

N95-3 & Syncing with Outlook

I currently use a WM5-based phone which syncs extremely well with Outlook. Using MS ActiveSync, I can sync all contacts and calendar entries including the notes fields for each.
A year or so ago, I had used a Nokia 6256i and PC Suite software. While PC Suite worked, it did not allow me to sync contacts in Last Name, First Name format. Rather, it synced all contacts in First Name Last Name format. Also, it did not sync the notes fields for either contacts or calendar entries.
Syncing with Outlook is the most important function for me in a phone, aside from RF and sound quality.
How well does the N95 & PC Suite combo work? I'm hoping to find people who actually sync with Outlook and can verify first hand whether or not contacts sync in Last Name, First Name format and if the notes fields sync.
Would love to buy a N95 but need to confirm sync functionality first. I don't care about push e-mail, syncing via BT is fine.

All the ones I've used have.

I just need to be absolutely sure that the Outlook Calendar notes field does in fact sync to the N95 using PC Suite? Please humor me and tell me once more that it does.
The notes appear in the Description field on the phone. As with contacts, I believe this has a size limit on the phone, so if the notes are too long, they could get truncated.

Once the sync issue has been put to bed, I just need to decide whether to go forward with the N95-3 or wait for the 8GB US model to arrive next month. I plan on using this in the USA on the AT&T network.
Then I would get a US model as the warranties on phones bought outside the US aren't valid in the US.

IPhone calendar has not synced with Outlook since December 2009; Please Fix

My iPhone calendar quit syncing with Outlook after an iTunes update in December 2009. When I sync to my computer, iTunes goes through the motions but no events show up in the iPhone calendar. I have talked to Apple tech support 3 times, purchased a new computer, and tried everything known to man to correct this. Calendar is the only thing that does not sync. The only thing left to do, I guess, is buy a new iphone. Who knows if this will correct the issue. Please, is there a fix out there? I'm tired of carrying a scratch piece of paper around with my appointments on it.

Well, I fixed it myself. In Outlook, I checked each appointment for a bad reminder time. My default time is 30 minutes. ONE entry showed 0 minutes. I changed it to 30, synced, and lo and behold, I have my calendar back! I can't believe that is all it took.

TS4118 Ever since I got the iphone 5 my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook. I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and unlink and re link to Outlook.

Ever since I got the iphone 5 my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook. I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and unlink and re link to Outlook. this creates multiple categories of contacts and calenders and I have no idea which is syncing with my phone, ipad, outlook. Help. thanks.

Sounds like the Outlook plugin isn't working properly. You could try a couple of things:
Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, uninstall iCloud, the download and install the iCloud contol panel for Windows again from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455. Then sign back into your iCloud account and check your syncing settings again.
Uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. (Uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.) This will replace the Outlook plugin.
Then try your calendar again and see if it will sync properly now.

Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?

Yes. Talk to whoever replaced the battery. Sounds like they broke something.

Iphone contact's phone number not synced with Outlook

Hi,
I have a contact with 4 phone numbers. That contact syncs with outlook in most cases (e. g. a change in a "note" is transfered both ways correctly).
But: The "private" phone number never shows up in Outlook.
I already reset the sync history.
Any other ideas are warmly appreciated!
Ulrich
PS. Itunes syncs with Outlook 2007

Well, I fixed it myself. In Outlook, I checked each appointment for a bad reminder time. My default time is 30 minutes. ONE entry showed 0 minutes. I changed it to 30, synced, and lo and behold, I have my calendar back! I can't believe that is all it took.
