Notes in calendar & contacts - Answered

Just got off the phone with Apple customer service about why I wasn't seeing my notes in the calendar events & contacts. "Janet" explained that they will not show up...ever...in the iPod Nano, 3rd generation. Wish I had known this before I purchased it. I may have sprung for a more expensive iPod that would have functioned like a Palm as well.
And, since I was running into a glitch with contacts, calendar, & notes showing up, then disappearing after subsequent syncs, she had me restore the iPod to factory settings and uncheck the automatic sync box. Now I will do everything manually, and see if that fixes the glitches. I'll let you know if they persist.
Finally, a reminder to everyone that you are allowed complimentary telephone support for 90 days after purchasing an Apple product. I spent about 50 minutes on the phone with Apple, and appreciated getting some solid answers & suggestions.

Janet, much like many Apple-employed yahoos took a liberty of making a statement prior to thinking. The result of my tel call (1hr+) to Apple last week was a promise that a communication to engineering would be issued re. the notes problem, and further, that once an answer comes back from engineering, I would be contacted. I actually don't believe anyone will call me. All those little things and Apple absence in this discussion is more of a problem than i.e. the tilted screen.
Apple has outgrown or forgot its past out of the box policy and today is arrogant, snotty and too sexy for us consumers. Or is it the middle life crisis and noone is talking? Steve, be a man, tell us where you screwed up, its OK, we still like you!...somewhat.

  • HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.

    I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.  When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does.  When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

  • How do I Sync Email with BES and Calendar-Contacts-Tasks-Notes with BDS?

    I have a Storm that I sync with our BES just for email and I want to sync my calendar, contacts, etc.. with the Blackberry Desktop Software.  First I was only able to sync my contacts... not my calendar.  Second, everytime I sync I lose my ability to send and receive email from my Storm and have to have our BES admin resend my service books to me so I can sebd abd receuve email again.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

    Did you install the desktop manager in blackberry enterprise or blackberry internet mode? I'm guessing it might be the latter, and it could be changing your servicebooks because of that... If it is installed for blackberry internet service, try removing it and installing it for blackberry enterprise service (this is a choice during installation).

  • Exchange Sync works for Mail, Calendar, Contacts - but not for Notes

    Hi,
    I am using an iPhone 3G (16GB). The sync with my account on an Exchange Server (I think 2003) is working just great. Mail, Calendar, Contacts are all in snyc, but there seems to be no way of synchronising the Notes between the iPhone native app and the Exchange Notes.
    Is there any way to make that happen?

    Notes syncing is only supported via USB/iTunes sync with Outlook (Windows) or Mail (Mac), not via Exchange. So, there is no way to sync the native iPhone Notes app with your notes on Exchange. There are 3rd party apps that can access your Exchange notes, though.

  • 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.

    - 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)

  • CompanionLink sync calendar,contact,notes with Outlook over USB?

    For years, I've been wrestling with the choice of what to migrate to from my hobbly 1st generation iPod Touch.  A replacement for my cellphone and the Touch, augmented with a data plan.  I am not a natural fan of the Apple cult design philosophy, nor the cavalier security model of Android.  Furthermore, I have modest no-nonsense requirements in terms of apps -- I need a secure and efficient to organize my info and priorities, not play Mario Brothers over the web with my garage door opener, or some other frivolous distraction.
    The advent of Blackberry 10 was a huge relief.  However, I've been reading about the wrinkle with nonwireless 2-way syncing with Outlook, encompassing calendar, contacts, and notes.  The latest rumours I've found online about the ETA is end of 2013, and I'm not sure how much uncertainty there is in that forecast.  Consequently, I decided to explore the option of buying CompanionLink.  I have only found one personal anecdote during my web search, and I'll refrain from describing it here.  To get an idea of the quality of the solutio, it was suggested to me to post on a CompanionLink forum, but that might not be the best way to get a balanced view of the product.  I figure that a Blackberry forum would be more objective.
    Can anyone who has jumped into the CompanionLink pool please share their anecdote of how well it works?  Anything that you consider worthwhile, as I may not be able to anticipate all the potentially significant points.
    A particular behaviour that I'm hoping won't be in CompanionLink is what I experienced in syncing between Outlook and the iPod Touch via the iTunes app on the PC.  If an item (e.g. a note) changed both on Outlook on the PC and on the device, the user must choose which one is the correct one, and must make this choice on the fly.  If the conflicted item contained a lot of information, it would be hard to make the comparison on the fly.  The correct way to handle this would be to allow the user to choose that both versions of the item kept, effectively yielding two instances of the item.  The user can then use text comparison tools to reconcile the two versions e.g.  vim, diff, Word, etc.  Palm replicated conflicted items, but they've been out of the picture for a long time.
    Thanks for any anecdotes on CompanionLink.
    Afternote: Oh, and if anyone can point to past examples of a platform vendor changing hands, an the fate of the platforms, thanks for sharing that, too.  It is an overwhelming factor in how I decide to go forward.

    I totally agree. It would seem that since they sync all of the other parts of Outlook they would do the same for Notes. In fact if you think about it, they are not backing up the built in Notes so it probably was the last item on the list of todos. Probably in the next release of iTunes.
    A work around would be to create a contact for the more important notes and then do a sync. Use Notes for the last name and the subject for the first name. That way they would be close together.

    Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
    icloud still works.

    Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue.  I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
    The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
    And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
    Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone.  In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

    I am using Outlook 2010. Changes made to my iPhone 4 or my iPad2 appear on each other (tasks, calendar, Contacts) but not in Outlook. Why is this?
    Also, changes made in Outlook do not appear on Phone or IpAd

    I'm guessing outlook doesn't support iCloud or vice versa or the settings for iCloud in Outlook are turned off. Just a guess though I don't use Microsoft products if I can help it.

  • IPhone does not sync calendar and contact information

    iPhone has not synced calendar or contact info entered on the phone with iCal or Address Book. Has shown NO updating in either app since mid-February. Since that time, have updated to iTunes 7.6 and, IIRC, OS X 10.5.2. This is a problem!!
    <Edited by Moderator>
    Thanks!

    Do all Lessons as described by you - dont sync.
    Have tested it with several different contact groups or single new contacts. Did it several times (resetting sync history and editing new groups contacts).
    Also checked those boxes to overwrite iPhone Entries by the Computer.
    Nothing appears on the iPhone.....

  • My iPhone 4s is not syncing the contacts and calendar to iCloud.

    My iPhone is not syncing its contacts and calander to iCloud once its entered on the iPhone itself.  It has no problem syncing information entered through iCloud though.  Am I doing something wrong?

    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch off both Contacts and Calendars then switch back on then reset the device.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How to sync Calendar, Contacts, Notes between Mac, iPad & iPod?

    Hi there,
          I have a MacBook Pro using Mac OS X 10.6.8、an iPad using iOS 7 & an iPod Touch that uses iOS 6.  And everyday I use iCal、Address Book、iWork (includes Pages、Numbers、Keynote) in Mac computer, use iWork also on iPad as well as use Calendar、Contacts、Notes both on iPad & iPod Touch.
    I have trouble keeping all my files on my Mac computer、iPad & iPod Touch up to date and hate updating each of them manually.  Hence I have two questions:
    1)  how may I sync the files of the applications mentioned above between my Mac computer、iPad & iPod Touch without using iCloud?  (perhaps through iTunes or my e-mail account?)
    2)  if I must sync the files through iCloud, how may start my iCloud service for free?
                  Thank you millions!

    Automatic does not work for me on this particular task. . My primary computer is an iMac. On travel I use a MacbookPro. I want the MacbookPro to have the same Contacts list as the iMac. I am logged into iCloud on both computers. The MacbookPro needs to be syced. On it I logged out of icloud, and in doing so I chose to delete files from the computer. Then I logged in again to icloud. That put a lot of additional lists of groups into the Contacts, lists that are not on the iMac. But some individual pages are not updated to match the iMac.
    I tried to manually copy (and overwrite) the various files on the MacbookPro that seemed to deal with the Contacts, including
    my Library/Applicatiion Support/AddressBook
    my Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    They are still not the same.
    On my Macbook I unchecked the Contacts, which deleted them and checked them again. This now deleted all of my groups and the individual ones are not synced with the iMac.  
    So now I have had three different versions of Contacts on the Macbook, as I manipulated turning on and off iCloud, and not one of them has been the same as on iMac.
    How do I get the Macbook contacts to be the same as on iMac?
