Not synching contacts and calendars

iCloud is not synching new entries in either direction of contacts or calendars. I have then set to ON in iphone settings. Iphone 4 and iMac snow leopard
Any idea why not?

Hi,
I have the same problem.
One of my Macs is running Lion and all the data is perfectly in sync. However the Address Book that stays on Snow Leopard seams to be left alone.
If to look to Address Book's preferences - now it stays local with no way to sync with iCloud, because there is no such option. It's slightly sad that Snow Leopard could not enjoy the same iCloud functionality as Lion does.
P.S. to get ex me.com calendar working with iCloud on Snow Leopard required some tweeking too.

  • IPhone will not synch contacts and calendar with Outlook after upgrade to 4

    I have been using an ACT! database on a PC for years, synching to Outlook with CompanionLink, and synching my iPhone to Outlook. After upgrading my iPhone to 4.0, I can no longer synch my contacts and calendar from Outlook. It "goes through the motions," appearing to be synching. But in the end, nothing changes. I have reloaded iTunes. The problem is between Outlook and the phone (the synch from ACT! to Outlook is fine).

    I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
    Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.

  • Phone won't Synch contacts and calendar

    HELP!!  So, my phone recognizes my PC (and likewise), but won't transfer anything over (including my contacts and calendar) when synchronizing.  It's giving all appearances of synching, but when finished, nothing is showing up on my phone.  The phone is showing 14.83GB available space on the SD card, and I get a message on my PC (Vcast), "ERROR:  VMMModeselection.exe - no disk  - There is no disk in the drive.  Please insert a disk into drive D:"  Never had a disk, so I'm not sure what to do about that?  Where do I go from here to insure things are transferring from my PC to my HTC Droid?

    Dear Adam,
    I am having a similar issue with my Incredible, however mine is with the exchange active sync. I sync my calendar and contacts only, no email. If I have a new calendar item it will sync with no issues. If someone sends an update to that item, that item is then duplicated on my phone's calendar. I checked my settings and for Resolve Conflict I have choosen Replace items on phone. I have been using this tpye of sync for the last 6+ months with no issues. This just started happening in the last month or so. I have deleted the account and added it again and the first sync is fine. In addition, when I have a calendar item in outlook canceled, it does not cancel the item on my phone calander. I believe sometime in late November or early December my phone prompted me to complete a software update. Since then, I have been noticing this issue and it is driving me CRAZY! Do you have any advice?
    Thanks,

  • Can Not Sync Contacts and Calendar to iPhone Since iTunes Upgrade to 7.6

    Hello, I have an iPhone and iTunes installed on my PC--which is running Windows XP Home Edition 2002 SP2, and I only sync my Contacts and Calendar using the sync functionality through iTunes and MS Outlook 2007. I was on iTunes 7.4 and everything worked fine. I just upgraded to iTunes 7.6, and now I can not get my new contacts and calendar info from Outlook to sync with my iPhone anymore. I get this error message:
    The program "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\OutlookSyncClient.exe" --sync com.apple.Outlook --entitynames com.apple.calendars.Attendee,com.apple.calendars.Calendar,com.apple.calendars.D isplayAlarm,com.apple.calendars.Event,com.apple.calendars.Organizer,com.apple.ca lendars.Recurrence,com.apple.calendars.Task caused a problem and is going to close.
    Is anyone familiar or know of the solution?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, but as I've said I've tried all of that described in the reference you've kindly given. I don't have a local cache, and hence no PST files. The only one I have is an OST file which I have checked for integrity using the Microsoft supplied tools. I have switched to local PST (a suggestion given in another thread), and found that not to work either, so have switched back to non cached. I have even renamed the OST file to .BAK, and had it rebuilt. Again to no avail. There is a bona fide bug here. The http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306635 article does only say "This may be due to the format of the Outlook Personal Storage File (.PST)", so I guess as the operative word is "may", its not a guarantee of this being the solution.
    Also I'm not syncing my contacts, I'm only doing the calendar nothing else.
    Additionally, this used to work, so your hypothesis, of the "bad data", being synced in 7.6 and then not being able to be subsequently budged is a definate goer I think. But the trick would be to work out what the bad data is. I'm assuming the source of the bad data is the iphone, so I've deleted old calendar in outlook entries I know to have come from the iPhone, that has, as yet, been a fruitless exercise.
    I do thank you though for your help though, I'll be scouring the internet for any tidbits of information which might help, and I'll post them back here if I find the solution, or anything which may help others unfortunate enough to be in this situation.

  • TS2776 Any ideas why my Outlook 2010 is syncing with iCloud for e-mail but not for contacts and calendars?  I am not a novice user and have done all the obvious things. The situation is odd because the original calendars all came from Outlook in the first

    I use iMac, iPad and iPhone but also an HP laptop. I have used Macs since 1986 so I am not a novice. I set up my iCloud account, moving from MobileMe recently and everything works fine on my Apple devices. The bizarre thing is I can see all my e-mail accounts via iCloud in Outlook but the contacts and calendars are not syncing in Outlook even though the original calendar material came from Outlook (the contacts data is all from the iMac). I've tried all the obvious things and read most of the articles on the Apple Support website. All the relevant boxes are checked on the iCloud dashboard on each device but I just wondered if I was missing something obvious. I'm sure some of you will have had the same expereince and solved it. Can you help me?
    Thanks in anticipation!

  • Why is my iPad not syncing contacts and calendars?

    I am baffled. When I look at the settings on my iPad it says that it is set to sync these things with my computer. When I plug it into iTunes, I get the message from iTunes that my settings for contacts and calendars are being automatically synced with iCloud, and that syncing through the computer may generate double entries. However, it is NOT syncing automatically. My iPhone was syncing, but does not have the latest entries on my computer calendar. Can someone tell me how to get both devices to sync automatically? Also, how soon should the syncing take place when a new entry is made? Thanks, Barbara

  • Z30 & BB Link not syncing Contacts and Calendar with Outlook 2010

    Just loaded Outlook 2010 and went to sync my Z30 with BB Link.
    1st attempt :
    Configuration  :  Contacts : 2 way sync : Notify me when there are any conflicts
                                  Calendar : 2 Way sync : Always use device data
    Result :
    No sync with Contacts
    No sync with Calendar
    (Also, Contacts disappeared until I restarted device.)
    2nd attempt :
    Same config. however no disappearing contacts this time. 
    Started sync at 6PM and at 8PM the sync appeared to have hung as it did nothing and there was no indication of any activity.
    Result :
    No sync & restarted Link and logged in again to try again.
    3rd attempt :
    Changed to one way from device to computer
    Added Outlook to the files it looks in even though it already says it does that in the config. Section of the contacts.
    Result  :  Still no contacts or calendar thought it showed it was doing the transfer. 
    After each of these I have shut down Outlook in case a restart would show the contacts. 
    Running out of ideas here.

    Mind sharing the version of your OS and BlackBerry Link?

  • ICloud will not sync contacts and calendar events from my iPhone to my macbook pro.

    Only a few contacts are displayed on my Macbook and no calendar events are displayed. Any suggestions?

    Check that you have entered the information into an iCloud group and not an On My Mac group, only information in iCloud groups will sync.

  • TS4009 since I updated my windows prog. to 8, all my contacts and Calendar have disappeared from outlook...?

    I downloaded a new version of Windows Outlook 8 - I can no longer access ICloud for  my Contacts, nor the Calendar from Outlook.

    solved problem, ran MS diagnostics on outlook which found and fixed one problem. Uninstalled iCloud and all associated files (calendar, contacts,) in Outlook (could not uninstall before problem was fixed - got an outlook error message). Reinstalled iCloud and synched contacts and calendars.  I'm back to where I was yesterday.

  • Suddenly won't sync all Contacts and Calendars

    I’ve been syncing my iPhone 2G with Mail, Contacts and Calendar on Outlook 2007 via USB for over a year without any problems. I recently added a Microsoft Exchange email account to Outlook on my PC but I use it only for email. The Exchange email account is NOT set up to sync with my iPhone. The Calendar and Contacts I use are in an Outlook Personal Folder and not the Contacts and Calendar associated with the Exchange account.
    Ever since installing the Exchange account, the iPhone does not recognize my original Contacts and Calendar and is not syncing them. Instead it seems to sync the Exchange Contacts and Calendar, which are empty so now my phone has not Contact or Calendar data.
    I have tried replacing Contacts and Calendar using the iTunes/Info/Advanced option but that didn’t work.
    In iTunes/Info/Contacts and iTunes/Info/Calendars I don’t have an option to select multiple contact lists or calendars to synch.
    How can I get it back to syncing the Contacts and Calendar I actually need?
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem and it drives me mad - thanks for letting me know if you find a solution. Here is what I will try: export all my contacts from where they are in the pst file in outlook then "try" to reimport them in the ost file (exchange). I noticed indeed that if I create a contact in the ost file, it does get pushed over to itunes.
    But there seems to be no way of telling itunes which outlook data file to use in priority, and if you select it as default in outlook you wipe out the content of your mail file on the exchange server. Not great.

  • Any ideas for how to sync to Exchange 2003 - contacts and calendar

    Hi
    I am still searching for a mechanism to give me the sync solution I want, which is as follows:
    At work I have a PC running Outlook 2003 via an Exchange Server 2003 setup.
    At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard
    In the middle I have an iPhone 3G
    I want to sync Calendar and Contacts across all three machines.
    I want to sync work email between the Exchange server and the iphone, but do NOT need this to sync on my iMac at home
    That's it.
    At the moment I can sync email, calendars and contacts successfully between the Exchange server and iPhone, using the over-the-air Exchange Sync on the iPhone. But sadly my iMac will not sync contacts and calendars to the exchange server 2003 as Snow Leopard only supports exchange 2007.
    Ironically (because I don't need this bit to work) I have managed to get my iMac to sync with my Exchange server EMAIL, by selecting the Exchange IMAP option when setting up the mail account on my iMac (as opposed to the Exchange 2007 option). However, I cannot get iCal or Address book to sync with Exchange 2003, regardless of the options I select when setting up the new accounts in Address book or iCal. I guess these just do not work with Exchange 2003
    I know that I cannot use mobileme as a solution, as you cannot have two over-the-air syncs going on, and I need to maintain my iphone link to the exchange server via activesync
    I also know that using itunes to sync via the cable will not work, as this creates separate contacts and calendar files on the iphone and so does not provide the syncing solution I seek.
    I have tried using google to act as the middle man between my iMac and Exchange server data - getting the iMac to sync to Google Calandar and Google Address Book, and then using a third party piece of software called gsyncit to sync from google to the .ost outlook file on my PC workstation. This works some of the time, but keeps crashing and leaving me with multiple duplicates to have to sort out - much too much hard work on a regular basis.
    So I still do not have a solution. Unfortunately upgrading to Exchange server 2007 is not a solution.....
    Any new ideas out there
    Thanks

    I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

  • How do you sync contacts and calendar events

    why is itunes not syncing contacts and calendar events

    The current method of syncing contacts and calendars is to use iCloud rather than syncing.

  • Contacts and Calendar not synching. (Centro, Windows XP, Palm Desktop 6.2.2) Please help!

    I originally posted on the Hotsync forum, and it was suggested that I post my question here.  Important information:  My office uses Microsoft Outlook Exchange, and I have my Centro set up to get my emails.  It also wants to sync my contacts and calendar; however, that is completely unneeded for my purposes.  I need to synch my Contacts and Calendar with my Palm Desktop.  If there is something I have to check or uncheck to do so, please tell me how.
    This is my original post:
    "When I hotsynch, my memopad, my documents to go, everything seems to synch except my contacts and calendar.
    After a few hours on the phone with tech support at sprint, we went for the nuclear option, hard reset, and the temporarily solved the problem, but now it has returned.
    Information that might be important:
    I'm getting a failed to backup 1 file error>PmTraceDatabase>Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened (4004)>SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN.  This may or may not be relevent.
    Anyway, I appreciate any help with this.  I depend on this PDA phone to keep me organized and there's a slight and embarrasing touch of panic to how I feel now that it is not working correctly."
    Post relates to: VisorPhone

    Okay, I'm continuing to do research on this, and here's my suspicion, maybe true or maybe false.  When I set up versamail to get mail from my office's exchange server, it also configured my contact list and calendar to sync as well, and synching with the the exchange server and synching with my desktop software are mutually exclusive.
    If this IS true, then hopefully there is a way to set it up so I synch my email only with the exchange server, and leave my contact list and calendar configured to synch with my desktop software.
    Any feedback or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
