Ovi First time sync

The first time I synced my mobile with Ovi it did included some telephone numbers and e-mail address for some of my contacts. The contacts were there with some basic info just missing the telephone (for example).
Any ideas as to what I did wrong?

PEople have experienced problems with ovi not showing all the necessary info in contact cards. Someone claimed that Ovi still stores all the info but is just unable to display it.

  • How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

  • Large first-time sync fills up C: drive

    I just got a new 80GB video iPod for Christmas. I store a large number of ripped music files, one season of a TV series, and some photos on an external hard drive, and manage them through iTunes. The grand total for all this content was around 60GB. Long ago, I configured iTunes to use the G: drive (the external hard drive) as the location for all my content.
    The first-time sync to the new iPod went fine--automatic, not manual--except that something kept filling up the C: drive. (Again, the music is actually stored on an external G: drive.) I de-installed things during the sync to free up extra GB of space. As soon as they disappeared, iTunes kept filling them up. I'm now out of hard disk space on C:, with no idea what iTunes or the iPod did to fill up this space.
    If there's some cache that needs to be cleared, nothing has cleared it yet, and I have no idea where to find it (or what the consequences of clearing it will be). The process seemed smart enough to use what space was available, but no more. In other words, the sync continued, even after there was no room left on the C: drive.
    I had recently updated iTunes, which for reasons unknown, blew away my music library. I had just rebuilt it before doing the sync.
    The lack of space on the home PC puts me in a dangerous situation, given how fussy WIndows gets when it doesn't have spare room on the hard disk to use for updates and other operations. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Here are other specifics, for what they're worth:
    Operating system = Windows XP
    iPod firmware version = 1.2 (couldn't update to 1.2.1 because of the lack of disk space)
    iTunes version = 7.0.2
    External hard disk = Western Digital, mounted via USB
    iTunes option, Keep iTunes Music folder organized = true
    Podcast subscriptions = none
    HP desktop   Windows XP   See posting

    There isn't any cache for iTunes, other than the buffer for streaming radio. What you might want to do is search your My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ folder and see if there is anything in there other than the .xml library file. I know you did a search for *.mp3 but check it anyway...there is a chance that iTunes converted the files from *.mp3 to *.m4a (AAC audio)

  • HT1296 i have an ipad with many application, will the first time sync erase all the data?

    i have an ipad with many application installed on it, will the first time sync with itunes erase all the installed applications on the device?

    The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.

  • HT201412 My screen is not display and when i try to sync with my iTunes with will not allow me to sync becuase this would be my first time syncing to itunes.

    please help....This is my first time syncing to itunes and it it asking me to allow access, please respond on your ipad.  this is my problem becuase my display not showing up so i cannot respond. 
    the only thing i can think of that happened was when there was a software update a few days and thats it.
    Anyone know how i can get this resolved please and thank you.

    Try this before trying to sync. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

  • HT201412 First time sync with PC fail

    I have tried to sync my new Ipad with my PC and it wont do it. It says it needs a system restore and when I click that to do it, it says restore fail. Its showing a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing upwards to an itunes symbol as if to say I need to connect. But when I do it wont connect with itunes. I have disabled my security and reinstalled itunes and still nothing. I have only had it about 7 weeks and this is the first time I have plugged it into my PC. Any thoughts please'

    Thanks, I have tried that a number of times and it brings up errors -1, 14 and one other, cant remember what that was, it just wont do it. I have been using it overseas with a NZ sim card in it and have taken that out to see if that made a difference, just wont recover. Bit of a worry. Any other thoughts

  • First time sync/backing up taking LONG time..

    I have a 3.1 iPhone, which I have never synced with my computer. It sounds silly, i know, but it's because i only use it for work email and games for my kids. We don't use it for music, etc. so i really have never had a reason to sync it.
    Well, this past xmas, we got an ipad so i'm trying to sync my iphone so i can get to itunes the paid games so that I can also get them on my ipad. I'm understanding now that i don't really need to do that to get paid apps to my ipad device, because it should recognize my itunes id and know that already.
    So...i'm still trying to sync my iphone for the very first time anyway so i can get the latest version of 4.2 and the backup is taking a VERY long time. Last night it was 15 hours and it was only 3/4 a way through. So, now I am following this helpful discussion link:
    http://blog.jhong.org/2008/08/does-your-iphone-take-forever-to.html
    but the backup seems to still be taking a long time. Are pictures potentially a problem? When the picture scanner came on asking me where to save pictures, I canceled out, so i'm assuming that pictures aren't even being backed up. Should i expect that first time i'm backing up/syncing is going to take a really really long time like i'm experiencing.
    And for anyone who has tried the advice in the above link, have they experienced continued delay in backing up, which the link was supposed to help alleviate?
    Sorry, if this is confusing but any help would be appreciated.

    The camera roll does back up to the backup file though it is HIGHLY recommended that you take them off on regular basic. the camera roll is meant as a temp location like any digital camera. If you want photos on your phone you sync them back to their own albums thus iTunes doesn't have to back them up because it knows they are on your computer already that you should be backing up yourself.
    The more pics, the longer the backup as the iOS and the camera roll are sort of separate.
    You can click the X next to where it says backing up and it will stop and move on to next step of taking stuff off and syncing.

  • ICS 5.1: first time sync with PDA unable to transfer events?

    I am using the iPlanet Synch software (beta build 260) and I think I have tried every possible way to sync the PDA with iCS and have also tried to sync the Palm Desktop calendar to iCS 5.1. I can reset everything to sync the PDA with our older Netscape Calendar Server, then remove the Netscape Palm conduit, then sync back to the Palm Desktop software. At that point I have events synchronised between the Palm Desktop and the PDA itself. Then when I install the iPlanet Synch software version 2.6 and configure to connect to the iCS 5.1 server, I can connect successfully but I get an error: unable to add event, synchronization aborted. My original events have minimal descriptions and no fancy fields. There must be a way to get this to work without deleting all events!
    If you have any ideas about where to look ...

    Not too sure if you have but make sure your exact and entire library has been imported, including all metadata and random files , not just the individual music files.
    To import a library(Make sure you have consolidated your files first):
    - Find it: (Usually under My Music)
    -Copy over the entire itunes folder
    - In itunes, click file, library, import. Locate the library you`ve just copied over (The itunes folder)
    - Let itunes do it`s thing
    -This will replace your current itunes library(Empty) with the old one(Including your songs and such)
    After you`ve imported your library, Try these things:
    - make sure your computer is authorized for the new content (Under store, click authorize this computer)
    - if you have jailbroken, try restoring (Make sure to backup before trying this)
    If it still says that it will erase your files, your library is either corrupt or incorrectly transferred.
    If this is the case, it is rather inconvenient.
    - Backup everything to icloud (Contacts, Mail etc.)
    - Transfer all purchases to itunes
    - Let itunes deleteeverything and re sync. (Make sure everything is backed up and that all your files are in itunes)

  • First time syncing to iTunes

    Just hooked up a brand new iPod Nano 8G. iTunes automatically downloaded 3 songs to the iPod that I cannot get rid of. They show in my library as gray so I can't click on them and press Delete as advised by the Help pages. Any ideas? It's very irritating!!

    Hello aetnas888,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you wish to delete the songs as you are trying to do so now, you must have the iPod set up to "Manually manage music and videos" by enabling this option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. Otherwise, the music will be grayed out as it is now.
    To learn how to delete content from your iPod if you have it set up to automatically sync with your library, see this Apple support document.

  • First time syncing my iPhone six plus to iTunes a number of albums and songs do not play

    After syncing my iPhone six plus to iTunes (11.4.0.18) a number of my playlists show up on the phone but they have no songs. If i look for the album it shows the album with all the songs but they are greyed out and cannot be played.
    On the original sync I chose the "Entire music library" option. I have since tried to manually select each song and sync with no success.
    HELP !!!

    You can erase all content on the iPhone by going to settings>general>erase all content and settings
    If you do not want to lose all the data on your iPhone you'll have to manually delete the stuff off the iPhone you don't want.
    Go into the summary page of your phone in iTunes and untick the syncing options etc.
    If you no longer have the iPod and don't want any of the content from it you can delete the backup from your computer and it will forget you ever had it

  • First time Sync with iPad qustions

    Hi everyone. I just got home with my new iPad, and after plugging into iTunes I go through the processes. At the point of "set up your iPad" screen I get two options:
    'Set up as new iPad' and 'Restore from the back up of:' and there is a drop down menu with my iPhone and iPod listed.
    At the top of these choices there is a message that reads: "An iPad has been previously snyced with this computer"
    There has never been a iPad synced with this computer. I would like all of my music synced with the iPad, but I don't want to loose on my phone either.
    What to do?
    Thanks

    I synced as NEW iPad and all is well. The option to sync all content, ie music, photos etc was there and it is all now on my ipad.

  • I cannot do the initial first time sync of match, it tells me my network connection has timed out but is doing it on work and home networks as well different laptops (PC HP Laptop), any ideas at all guys!!!!

    It gets as far as most of the initial step one but then showing awaiting a responce from Apple it stops saying that the connection has timed out.

    I saw in one thread around here that some folks with a particular brand of firewall or anti-virus installed actually had to uninstall it to get it to work. Unfortunately I can't find the thread again. What brand of firewall and/or anti-virus are you running?
    Ah ha! Just thought of it... NOD32. If you're got this software installed you may need to completely uninstall it.

  • Every sync gets "You are about to synchroniz​e your calendar for the first time" - Help !!!

    I am on a MBP with the Tour and was able to successfully sync iCal and Address Book with BB. But everytime I try to sync, I get the " You are about to synchronize our Calendar data for the first time." with the options to "Replace Device Data", "Merge Data" or Cancel. Has anyone seen this and know how to fix? Replacing data makes it impossible to update Mac with changes on BB.  
    Please help! 

    Create a backup of your iCal and your BlackBerry.
    Then create a test Calendar event on the BlackBerry, in iCal then test another synchronization once again.
    The first time sync prompt usually occurs when it does not detect entries in either the BlackBerry or iCal Calendar.

  • 6260 PCsync problems, syncs first time then "Faile...

    6260 PCsync problems, syncs first time then "Failed to open Outlook" "PC Sync could not update the data to the mobile phone." warning appear until reboot.

    I have reinstalled PCsuit (twice)
    Removed mmc card
    dont really want to re-install outlook.
    i dont understand why it works the first time and doesnt until a reboot pc (5 mins each time)
    Bluetooth works fine as i can upload or download files without any problems...? Help

    Teurastaja, that is not how my sync works with Nokia 6681.
    - I get most of my additions to phonebook to the phone, because that is where I add new contact (someone call me and I add that new contact to phone book etc.)
    - I "clean up" my contacts like you do, using Outlook, it is more convinient that way, like you say.
    - I get 95% most of my calendar stuff to Exchange server(Outlook)and sometimes I add meetings etc. to my phone
    Then I syncronise my phone automatically over Bluetoooth everytime I am connected to my PC (this happens 3-4 times/day).
    And it works, if I delete something in Outlook, it gets deleted from phone. additions to phone and Outlook get added to "the other end" as well.
    I never touch my sync settings and I have "update in both directions" in use.
    This is they way it should work and it works as long as you don't change the settings every so often, that confuses the sync and makes it run a "first time sync" and that causes the sync to rewrite the deleted stuff back.
