Palm Tungsten E No Longer Sync with Macs

I have a Palm Tungsten E (OS 4.5.1P) that no longer Sync's to my two Macintosh computers with OS 10.5.8 but still works fine with my PC computer. That's to say the Macintosh computers won't even acknowledge that I'm trying to sync and via versa that the Tungsten doesn't see the Mac's trying to sync. It's like I have no USB cable attached (which is how I have always synchronized it).
In trouble shooting, I've found that my Palm Zire 72 (OS 4.5.2P) will sync flawlessly with all these computers. What did I change?! Nothing I think. Help please.

Have you done a restart on the Mac's? Also on the device? Also have you tried a different sync cable?

ICal no longer syncing with .Mac between Leopard and previous OS

hi,
Two Mac's, both new-ish. When I had the previous OS running on both, my iCal syncing worked great through .Mac. However, I have recently upgraded to Leopard on just one of these machines. Now, the machine with the previous OS will not sync to the one running Leopard, however, the Leopard one will sync to the other one.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!

I was having the same problems you describe and after trying suggestions from a variety of posts in the discussion forum, here's what worked for me because simply unregistering and resetting sync data didn't solve the problem.
While I'm sure a few steps could be left out, what seemed to make all the difference was
a. getting rid of groups of calendars and
b. not simply reseting the data but deleting and reimporting it from the "master" computer
1. I made sure one of my computers had complete and updated calendars (the iBook running 10.5.1)
2. I had clustered my calendars into sub-groups, so I ditched that level of organization so everything was on the same level and created a backup database (thus my iBook became my "master")
3. I exported each of my calendars individually (i.e. "Home.ics" "Work.ics" etc.)
4. On the Mini (running 10.4.11), I deleted all my calendars (except for my subscriptions) and unregistered the Mini from .Mac syncing
5. I imported each of the calendar from the iBook into iCal on my Mini so that I had the same data on both computers
6. After restarting both machines for good measure, I reset the iCal sync data on .Mac using the info on my iBook, then registered my Mini, and reset the iCal using data from .Mac to overwrite the Mini
7. I rebooted again, set up test events (in different calendars) on each computer, synchronized, and voila!

Your post indicates iOS 4.3 which is now quite old. I am going to suggest restoring your iPad, which, among other things, will update your iOS to the current version.
I recommend restoring your iPad. Make sure you have the current version of iTunes on your computer (currently 11.0.1). Plug your iPad into your computer, let it sync, then press "Restore" on the right side when the summary page of the iPad is displayed in iTuens' display.

Ical no longer syncs with isync or .mac

Ical on my PowerBook G4 no longer syncs with .mac or via isync. When I open ical, none of the events on the calendars display. After moving between "month" and "week" I can get the events to display. When I sync, I receive a window saying " Can't synchronize calendars and To Do items to iCal: device is not available." This is not the same as the message normally received when an external device such as an ipod is not connected. Bookmarks and Address Book are synchronizing without problem. Anybody out there experienced something similar? I have tried throwing away the ical preferences .plist from the library but that has not helped.

I don't have Panther available anymore so I'm shooting in the dark. You might try to stop syncing and then turn syncing back on (the idea is to break the connection and start new) Be sure to have a backup of anything you can't lose.
You might also try trashing iSync preferences.

ICal will no longer sync with macmini still syncs with iPhone, iPod and another mac...what happened?

iCal will no longer sync with wife's mac mini. It works with our iPhone, iPod and and older G5 tower. I am using an iMac. Nothing shows up on the mobile me calendar in her office. I have been unable to get the shared calendar to open on her machine. All had been well until yesterday.
Thanks for any help.

I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

The calender on my iPhone 4 with iOS 6 no longer syncs with iCal 4.0.4 on my mac OS 10.6.8. However it is syncing with my iCloud account. Can someone help me with this?

FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

(iOS 7.1.1) Google Contacts no longer sync with my contacts app

Hello everyone. So recently I noticed that my Google Contacts no longer sync with my Contacts app, and this is really upsetting as I'm a person who needs to have updated contacts and both my phone, as well as a backup on my Gmail account, as I am both a Google and Apple user.
I am using an iPhone 5S, on 7.1.1.
My Settings has my Gmail account signed in, and has the "Contacts" switch turned on. I deleted the account, and re entered it, and I am still not seeing any activities of the Google Contacts and Contacts app syncing.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, so I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some ideas as to what might be going on. I'm real tech savvy but I have no idea what caused my contacts to stop syncing. My Google Calendar events sync just fine, so that's even more confusing.

Okay.. it won't let me go back and edit my earlier postings however... the problem is solved. I went in and Deleted ANY resource that iSync could get it's hands on that it kept in the iSync folder and the SyncServices Folder in the Libray Folder under Users. I actually moved the contents for those folders to a different volume. I then deleted the resources for Palm Desktop making it create a new user account. The Next time I opened iSync.. It went crazy trying to find resources.. it opened Calendar for me and I never saw it open address book but I saw that it was reading Addresses. I then Opened iTunes next and noticed that my full contacts from my address book were put back on my iPod!
Shew!!! one down and one to go. I prayed and added my palm device to iSync. Then I synced and got conflict popups for my Addresses and Calendars asking me how to reconcile ( I was only getting those for the Calendars earlier). I then re-synced and checked my Palm and All of my contacts were in the Treo 650! I then changed a few entries and synced again for a few tests and it appears to be fixed.
This is the problem with gradual upgrades as opposed to clean installs when you update your OS. It's just that OS X doesn't give you that option. in the Pre OS X days I would never just upgrade my OS. I would also Re-Format and Re-install. That's always been my preference.

I just updated my iPad 3 to ios 7.02 and can no longer sync with iTunes on my computer running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion, which may cause any number of apps on my computer to no longer work. Although I may consider purchasing a new laptop

I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

My iPad 2 will no longer Sync with iTunes on my computer. It tells me to Restore which I don't want to do as I may lose valuable information from my iPad. My wife's iPad 2 and my ipod still Sync OK. How can I overcome this?

ITunes 9.2 upgrade broken - No longer syncs with iPhone 3GS

I just installed the new iTunes 9.2 (and SL 10.6.4) through Software Update.
After rebooting, I find that iTunes 9.2 no longer syncs with my iPhone 3GS.
iTunes sees my iPhone, but opens the "Set up your iPhone" screen. It tells me:
An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer.
[] Set up as a new iPhone
[] Restore from the backup of [my iPhone 3GS]
This is a horrible bug - I do not wish to erase/restore my iPhone 3GS that synced just fine before the reboot, thankyouverymuch
I tried disconnecting and re-connecting my iPhone 3GS, to no avail...

This worked for me on a win7 machine - haven't tried it on my macbook pro machine:
Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows :
1. Windows XP
* Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone or iPod touch.
* Choose Start > Control Panel.
* Inside the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools.
* Open Services.
* Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:

* After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
2. Windows Vista
* Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone or iPod touch.
* Click the Windows Start button
* In the Start Search field type Services.
* In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
* Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
* After the service is stopped, click Start the service.
* After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
If after restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service you encounters with same problem then reinstall AMD S. For reinstalling just uninstall the iTunes from control panel then navigate to C:/ >> Program Files >> iTunes Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Note: This folder may have already been deleted if iTunes was successfully removed. Now Restart your computer and Install the latest version of iTunes.
Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Mac OS X :
# In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash.
# Move the iTunes icon to the Trash
# Choose Go > Go to Folder.
# Enter /System/Library/Extensions and click Go.
# Locate the file AppleMobileDevice.kext and drag it to the Trash.
# Choose Go > Go to Folder.
# Enter /Library/Receipts/ and click Go.
# Locate the file AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg and drag it to the Trash. If prompted, authenticate with the admin password.
# Choose Finder > Empty Trash and restart the computer.
# Download and install the current version of iTunes www.apple.com/itunes/

Just installed 11.0.5.5 and I can no longer sync with my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5

I just installed 11.0.5.5 and I can no longer sync with my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5. Any thoughts? It went from accurately displaying my content to showing most of the content as "Other" and now says it can't sync because it can't determine the apps to sync.

Hi,
I have sync issue, too, but a bit different. When connecting my iPhone 4 and hitting the sync button in iTunes 11.0.5 (5), the synch process starts, gets stuck at step 5, then eventually finishes without any error message, but content (TV series / movies) are not updated on the iPhone.
I already tried to power cycle my MacBook (Intel 13" running Mac OS X Lion) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1.3).
Was working perfectly before upgrading iTunes. Anybody has a solution to this yet?
Thanks in advance.
Martin
