Phone Keeps Syncing Birthdays Back To Computer

I have a birthday calendar set up in iCal, which pulls birthdays from Address Book. I'm syncing a Samsung Propel to my computer via iSync. However, the second I get a contact on my phone, the phone seems to automatically assign a birthday of 1/1/1900 to each contact for which I don't already have a different birthday assigned to. Thus, when I sync again, all of these 1/1/1900 birthdays get synced to my Address Book and iCal. The funny thing is, my phone doesn't even have a birthday field in the contacts. How can I stop this from happening? Is there a way to disable certain fields from syncing?

Only on the very first sync, after setting the phone up, can you do a one-way sync from Mac to phone overwriting the phone completely.
Every sync after that is two-way, otherwise it wouldn't be syncing and any data you enter on the phone would be lost.
Just contact the developers, it should be something they can fix.

  • How do I keep my music on my phone when syncing to a new computer

    Im syncing my phone to a new computer in order to install a new tone I downloaded on my phone. However, i have music on my phone and the new computer that I'm going to sync my phone to thats up-to-date, or that i want to keep. I have music on the new computer but its out-of-date to the music thats on my phone. iTunes is asking me to delete all the music on my phone and replace the music with the music thats on the new compter. I dont want this to happen, is there anyway to avoid this problem??

    I have an iphone and ipad all backed up to icloud. I will be getting a dell labtop soon and i am just wondering if when i sync my phone to the computer will i lose all of my music?

    Your iPod Touch will be erased when you update to the new iOS4 and synced with what is in your iTunes library, You should consult the following post for some useful hints on what to do.

    It is important to backup. Purchased songs, videos, iPod Games, and albums can be downloaded only once.

  • How do you unsync your phone and sync it with another computer without losing any data?

    How do you unsync your iphone, without loosing any of the music etc? As I have a new laptop and my old laptop is not working.

    You need to transfer the data from your old computer to your new computer.  Surely you have a backup of your old laptop.  Use this and move your data to your new laptop.

  • How to sync iPhone to new computer after old computer crashes?!

    I get the process to sync an iphone with a new computer when you can copy the files from your old computer, but what about when the old computer is no longer working? I have my music & photos backed up, so I'm more concerned about contacts and apps. Any ideas how to get at least my contacts off my phone before syncing with the new computer? Thanks!

  • Syncing with a different computer

    So I activated my iphone with my g4 and within two weeks, for work related reasons, I had to get a new Macbook. Now it is not syncing with the new computer. How can I get the phone to sync with the new computer?

    A little more info can help us help you. You say its not syncing with your new computer. When you connect the iPhone to your new computer, does it recognize the iPhone? Does it show up on iTunes? Do you get an error message? Did you install the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime on your new computer?

    Hello lenmin,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help resolve this issue where you're repeatedly prompted to authorize with your Apple ID in iTunes when syncing, please follow the directions in the article below.

  • I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone.  Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

    I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone.  Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

    Hi,
    You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
    If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.

  • Its says my phone has synced with another iTunes account on the same computer? I Want my garage band songs to go from my phone back to my laptop but they won't

    So my Mac got wiped, obviously all my iTunes bought songs and stuff are rested but in lost most of my Garage band Productions, now the ones that had luckily gone to my phone won't transfer to ituens?

    No, it is just saying it is a different iTunes library. If your computer was wiped then the original one is gone and the phone does not recognize the library there.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a wiped or new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.  Your Garageband creations are obviously not iTunes Store purchases and should be restored from the backup you make for just this kind of situation.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can I keep a playlist on phone when syncing with new computer?

    When syncing my IPhone I am prompted with an ominous message that says "Are you sure you want to remove the existing music ... from this phone and sync with this ITunes library? Music .... will be removed and items will be synced from this ITunes library" The answer is no because I have a playlist I would like to keep on the phone, but add one which resides on the computer I am attempting to sync with. That is not an choice presented, the choices are Cancel or Remove and Sync. Apple should either give more options or at least a better explanation. I have synced this phone and computer combination before but have since created a new playlist in the computer (a Mac Mini).
    So how can I keep a playlist on the phone and add one from the computer too? Is it possible to view the phone as a drive and move items around in that manner? I use ITunes on both Windows and Mac platforms but this issue has always been problem for me. I also have IPhone 3 (used as an IPod), IPhone 4S and Iphone 5.

    Unless you can get the iPod backup file (and restore the iPod from that file on your new computer) from the "dead" computer you will lose all the app data you can export via email.
    - Yu can trabsfer iTnes purchases from the iPod by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can transfer non-itunes purchased music to the new computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion.
    Best iPod to PC
    - After you move the stuff to the new computer, either restore the iPod from the backup, or if no backup, restore to factory defaults,new iPod and sync.
