Phone restarts during sync/browsing contacts in PC

Nokia 6267, PC-suite. Worked fine until lately when:
- can not back up Contacts any more; just can not be copied and all
- every now and then, when connected, phone starts 'syncing/sending contacts' by itself (i.e when new SMS arrives) and somewhere in the middle of it the phone restarts, restoring picture and connections after a minute or two.
- the same sync and following crash appear when browsing contacts in PC suite or under windows explorer tree.
Syncing calendar or copying other data from phone to PC works fine.
Could there be something bizarre in my contact list that won't allow browsing and copying to continue? How to locate the bug then?
Also I can not add any number from the log to existing contact.

I too am having a sync problem Nokia 6230 connected with Bluetooth (TDK Systems). Communication seems fine, but the Nokia applications have problems.
I used v6.1 Data Suite, and although it reported the usage of both Phone (158) and SIM (10) memory, it did not pull a significant number of the phone contacts across. It did not seem to be because of the memory used.
I thought an upgrade to v6.7 would sort it, but find the application to be more limited. It seems that the Data Suite doesn't evolve, it just revolves !!
I now cannot see ANY sim contacts, and still several phone contacts are missing !! No stats are given in the new interface, which is more like an explorer Windows than an application. 152 in Contact Browser, 162 in actual phone (but not the new ones from Outlook yet)
Entries from Outlook were brought in and an & (ampersand) prefix added (although this shows in the summary pane to the left as an underscore)
What is required is for Data SUite to pull ALL the contacts to the PC, allow the user to edit them, allow the user to change the storage(phone/SIM), or even BULK move between storage areas (so you can pull off one phone, and push to another), and to sync with the user's PIM, without loss or skipping of entries. Not much to ask this many generations on - other programs can do it !

During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. I'll typically add any new contacts I get directly to my iphone, simply because I don't have my mac on me at all times. However, unless I specifically add the contact to my mac address book, it will be deleted from my iphone contacts upon sync. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts. I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could. I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Error message: phone disconnect during sync

i am trying to sync my ical calendar to my iphone.
i repeatedly get the same error message " can not sync calendar because phone has disconnected during sync" even though my phone is def still connected as i see it in itunes.
any ideas?

That disconnection has something to do with your calendar database, and something in there that the sync process doesnt like. Take a look at this thread:

I-Phone; How to sync my contacts from Outlook with my I-Phone???

Dear all,
I need your help! I do not know how to sync my contacts!
For any support, please contact me: [email protected]
Thank you so much!
Best regards
Dennis

Dennis...The biggest thing you will need is Outlook 2003 or 2007. If you have this, you will have to build an account. Contacts and Calender does not sync with iTunes but with outlook. iTunes is just the conduit. Once you have an account built into Outlook, you will need to plug your iPhone into iTunes and look at the second Tab to insure that you have selected what you want to sync. Hope this helps.
Good Luck

5th Gen restarting during sync

Apple replaced my 30g video today after my old one completely fried. When I connected the new ipod to my computer to load songs, i had a problem
iPod connects, iTunes recognizes and displays the inital screen where you choose a name for the iPod. It then starts the transfer process. No problem. Then after a random amount of transfer, (i've tried this a few times) the ipod restarts itself. (off, apple comes up, and goes back to 'do not disconnect' screen) This of course ruins the transfer process and it all has to start over. The ipod continues to do this, i can't get it to finish the process.
Did they give me another defective iPod? Could it be a windows issue? Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot,

I didn't lose any calendar since it was all on the computer in Outlook calendar

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

Isync Tiger BUG: Contacts created in phone don't sync into Addressbk Group

This is a bug I've encountered with iSync running on Tiger.
I use iSync to sync my AddressBook contacts with my Motorola Razor.
I have many contacts, but I only need a few of them synced with my phone, so I created a Group called "Phone" in AddressBook.app, and have set my sync preferences in iSync to sync only those contacts in the contacts group "Phone".
When I create a new contact in the phone, and then sync with iSync, the new contact does NOT appear in my designated Group "Phone", but instead in the "All" contacts category. This didn't happen in Leopard.
What this means is that if I ever need to restore my contacts on my phone, none of the contacts that I created on the phone will be synced b/c they are NOT in the "phone" group, but in the All contacts category.
If my iSync preferences are set to sync with a particular AddressBook Group, then NEW CONTACTS created in the PHONE should update to that designated GROUP, and not be considered non-categorized in the AddressBook.app.

You must be mistaken (or very lucky!). This issue was definately around in Tiger too.
Do a search on these forums for the same issue, and you'll see it comes up time and time again going back many years, relating to all versions of Mac OS X and iSync.
Here's just a few:

You can even see in iSync's window that there's an option to "Put events created on phone into:" pop-up, but no equivalent option for Contacts.

I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

Hello neegie
Try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. After that then test it out. If during the restore you get and error code, check it against the second article for further assistance.

Ok.
Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.

My husband and I both have iphones and share the same apple id. Everything was working fine until I synced his phone which lost all his contacts and pictures and gave him my info. I then used verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back

My husband and I both have iphones and everything was ok until I synced his phone and lost all his contacts and pixs. I downloaded verizon's contact retreival app and got his contacts back but now his contacts keep overwriting mine. I can sync my phone and get my contacts back but within a few hours, his show up again. We use the same apple id for purchases. What can I do?

Are you sharing the same iCloud account (in Settings>iCloud)? And do you both have Contacts turned to On in Settings>iCloud?
