My iphone contacts wont sync to outlook. i used the cloud once, now i cant get them to show up on outlook.
i used to have all contacts on my iphone and outlook. one time i backed up to cloud as another form of saving data just in case my desktop crapped out. now i go turn off back up to cloud and my iphone has all the contacts but outlook has 0. i have it syncing to outlook from itunes, but nada.
please help.
Hey Janice Lucoff,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have an iphone 4S and stupidly let it update to iOs 7 and now I cant get wifi or bluetooth. Anyone know how I can get back the previous update when my iphone was working perfectly?
Your WiFi/Bluetooth chip has failed. Bring the phone (and $199 if outside the warranty period) to Apple for replaceement.

My iphone 4s wont sync with itunes it says the sync session failed to start
My iphone 4s will not sync with itunes it says that the sync session failed to start????................
This happens to me from time to time using the Wifi sync (on both the iPad and iPhone). If wifi has worked before but stopped working, try "Forgetting Network" on the device and rejoining the network.

Events that are in the past do not appear on my calnedar on my iphone. Have I possibly changed a setting that caused them to disappear? Can I get them back on my iphone as they do still appear on my Outlook calendar on my PC?

Syncing metadata across devices using the Cloud
I decided to authorize my work computer for iTunes Match. My main library is on my home computer. Once I saw all my music in the cloud on my work computer, I decided to do a little tweaking of the metadata. I didn't download the songs first, just changed the metadata. When I updated Match, the metadata went back to the way it was before. Do I need to download the songs to the local machine first before metadata changes will stick and sync to other devices? Or can I only make metadata changes on the home library?
Metadata changes (which can only be made from iTunes) are reflected immedietely on other Match-enabled iTunes libraries, but cause duplicates to be created on iOS devices.
For example, I changed the genre of song after it had been matched. It now appears under the old genre and the new one. I deleted the song from iTunes and iCloud, which removed it from my iPhone. However, when I added the song back in to iTunes and uploaded it to iCloud the duplicates appeared on my iPhone once again.
It's as if iCloud keeps a copy of every version of every song we match/upload just like Photo Stream. I just wish there was a Reset iTunes Match button.
Apple really needs to fix these bugs if they're going to take money from people and not extend ther subscription. -
HT1933 i purchases ringtones on my iphone and i lost them and now i cant get them back
i purchases some ringtone over some month and then i had to reset my iphone. i cant find any of the ringtone that i buy. is there a way i can get them back bc there not on my iphone or my laptop
Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you haven't got copies of them on your computer nor on a backup of your downloads and they are still in the store, then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I got a new cord from apple and still same thing. What do I do next?
Chris....
Thank you for your considerate and thorough response.
I think what most of ya'll don't realize is that this OP first appeared in the Using ASC forum - or else I would never have even seen it.
Whether it was mis-posted by the OP in Using ASC (happens ALL the TIME), and subsequently moved to the appropriate iPhone forum, or was mis-directed to the Using ASC forum list by the New SiteWare (happens all the time too) -- is irrelevant. I have gotten tired of trying to track which one as it seems there is and may not ever be a solution.
When you see me in a thread/forum other than Using ASC, OS 10.4.11, Powerbook or Quicktime... you can be certain that one of the two aforementioned happened.
The fact that it was in that list is precisely why I think it is important for those who frequent there to be somewhat jacks-of-all-trades to an extent.
I can certainly evaluate whether an OP has provided adequate information for someone else who's bailiwick in eventually falls to help (and not have to do the simple job - "did you read how to make a good question?" )
Thanx agin Chris

My iPhone 4s wont sync, i have been using it and everything charges fine but everytime i plug it into my pc it says it cant start apple mobile device.
None of those worked...
My Phone still wont sync.
Thanks for the info though!
I'd also like to add, I can restore my phone just fine..
I just can't sync it.
I'm not sure why. But it's pretty annoying.
EDIT: It just randomly started to sync now.. I have no idea what I did to make it work.. But it's syncing now.. Must have been something I did from that link you posted. So thanks a TON! -
my iphone calendar wont sync with my outlook calendar. My inbox seems to be syncing just fine, its just that my iphone calendar is not showing the same events i have in outlook.
Hi
I have the a similar problem - only I can't actually get the calendar to show up. I've added the account and it's showing Mail and Notes but not Calendar. But I'd like it to show the outlook calendar.
I'm going to
Go to settings > mail contacts calendar
select your account that's affected
But under that account there isn't a calendar showing and I can't see any options to add it? -
Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes
Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes
What year and model?
I own a 2007 GL with an iPod adapter. My iPhone couldn't charge or play music through the adapter until the 2.1 update. After a complete new restore of my iPhone, the iPhone's music will play, however, as I expected it will not charge. Regarding BT through the MHI Puck, the iPhone will sync the Contacts & Call Lists, I now have full control through the steering wheel controls, and sound is much better than the 2.0.x FW. Through the 2.1 update, I effectively had reset all network and BT connections; be sure to reset all of your settings on the iPhone and re-pair it again, if you use a BT MHI Puck. And, be sure to wait a bit - the first pairing took about 3 minutes, the subsequent pairings are complete in about 20 seconds.
Not available on this side of the pond (yet, AFAIK), MBZ has an iPhone 3G cradle adaptor for a lot of the newer MBZ vehicles (sadly, not the GL). Mercedes' part number is 204 820 23 51. The cradle plugs into the UHI connector (option 386). More at:
http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Jun08/19001204_Mercedes_Benz_Hearts_The_iPod_New_Cradle_Allows_Further_Integration_Into_ The_VehicleArchitecture.html
I'm waiting to see if someone comes up with an adapter to the existing system's iPod connector. -
My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
I already restored it but that didn't help.
TIA for any replies.iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

Hello JinxUK,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iCloud Control Panel. I found an article referencing the error message you are getting:
“Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.”
Apple is investigating this issue. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

my iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!
If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?
