Photos and contacts not syncing

I have selected photo folders checked for syncing, and "sync contacts with windows contacts" checked, but when syncing I do NOT have the photos or windows contacts on the iphone.
Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.

I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
something is crazy
but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......

Calendar and Contact not syncing.

I am unable to get either new calendar entries or contacts changes to sync between my iPhone 3G and my desktop by way of Mobile Me. I can see that changes made on my desktop appear in the web interface to my Mobile Me account, but they never get to my iPhone. Conversely, new contacts or calendar entries created on my iPhone don't get to Mobile Me account.
I do get email messages sent to my @me.com or *.mac.com addresses and I can send email outgoing to the account. THere must have been an initial sync of calendar and contacts because I see most of my contact info, just not new entries or changes to existing ones.
I am using a one week old iPhone 3G through AT&T, and a Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.4. with all the latest patches. I use MS Entourage on my desktop and have syncing set up between that and iCal + Address Book and then to my Mobile Me account.
AM I doing something wrong? Is there a way to sync calendar and address book data through the USB sync cable rather than over the air?

Hi
I'm not that computer literate but have managed to sync my calendar, mail and contacts - so I hope this helps...
I didn't set up a new mobile me account as I don't want another email address. I am using my dot.mac account as my email - and sync'd using my usb cable. This should open itunes if you have it (download if you don't) and then the interface in itunes will walk you through it.
My email is now automatically arriving wirelessly. My calendar and contacts are all there - but when I want to update these I think I have to sync using the USB again, unless I open a mobile me account. My calendar and contacts are not updating wirelessly.
Hope that's useful.

Calendars and Contacts not syncing between iPhone and Mac

Hello.
I am using a MacPro4,1 (early 2009) running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.4.
In iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Calendars Settings are set to: Sync – All Events.
In iTunes, Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi is checked.
Calendar and Contacts aren't syncing, in neither direction, neither over Wi-Fi nor by cable. (I haven't, and won't try iCloud or however that thing is called now.)
No idea why. I'd be thankful for any hint.

so there's nothing but iCloud to do this? Is there a workaround? Or do I have to use either other a different set of applications, or another set of operating system and hardware? Not syncing is no option, iCloud isn't either, changing systems is.

Calendars and contacts not syncing

I am running iTunes 11.1.4.62 on Windows 7. I sync with an iPhone 5s and an iPad mini with retina display, both running iOS7.
All worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. The first problem was when iTunes 11.1.4 installed and 'broke' iTunes. I found info here about others with the same problem and was able to successfully uninstall and reinstall and all was fine again. I was able to sync successfully after getting iTunes working again.
Yesterday I tried to sync again, for the first time in about 10 days. The sync seemed to hang on syncing calendars. Never would finish and I would have to cancel the sync. This happened on BOTH devices.
After some searching on the web I've tried a number of things: first I looked at calendar entries. I have a LOT, so followed instructions to search for bad recurring yearly events. Reset all of them. Also cleaned out a lot of old entries, deleted a lot of email to reduce the size of my Outlook pst (it had gotten over 2 gb in size.) Didn't help.
Other things I tried which did not work: Reset Sync Services, Replace calendar on device (calander got REMOVED from device, but won't go back on.), hard reset of device. I also completely unisntalled and reinstalled iTunes again. I ran the Inbox Repair tool, which did find some errors. Still hung on syncing calendars.
Finally tried renaming the SyncServices folder, as I saw recommended somewhere. That made the problem worse -- iTunes basically no longer 'saw' Outlook, although at least the sync would now complete -- it just wasn't syncing anything from Outlook.
Then I went to a computer backup from right after the last successful sync I did and copied the SyncServices folder from that backup. With that folder iTunes now 'sees' Outlook but even though I have the options to sync both contacts and calendars selected it simply doesn't do it, on either device. It backs up, syncs mail accounts, syncs apps (steps 2 through 4), then just skips steps 5 thru 7 and 'finished.'
This happens with BOTH of my devices. While it's possible there's something odd going on in my pst file, I really think the problem is somehow in iTunes.
I'm not sure what else to try. I do have copies of the backups from both devices from the last successful sync about 10 days ago that I could use to restore, but frankly I'm not sure that would fix anything.
Can someone point me to something else to try? I have a new Windows 8.1 computer coming in a day or two but obviously can't move all this to a new computer until I get it fixed!
Thanks,
Judy

Photos and iBook not syncing after installing ios 6

I installed iOS 6 and now photo stream isn't working and book marks aren't syncing between my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. I checked the setting they should be working anybody have any idea?

So last night I plugged my iPhone in to charge over night. This morning I open my iBook and the page changed to the book mark to match my iPad. So I decided to check out the photo stream and low and behold photo stream updates as well. Interesting, I wonder if Apple was doing maintainance to iCloud. May that was my problem. I'll have to keep an eye on this.

Photos and contacts will not sync from iCloud to iPhone

Hi Everyone
I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS (5.1.1), and have had to restore my phone due to sluggish response from the device, however I have had problems when setting up my phone again.
When the phone was restored and I wanted to restore a backup, it said the latest backup was from 10/12/2011 (I'm assuming this was the last time I backed up to iTunes). The issue I have is all my photos and contacts are on iCloud (last updated 25/05/2012, it clearly says this on my device under iCloud section). I have looked about to try and find a way to get this information back onto my iPhone but have not had any luck.
Can someone please help me find out how to get my photos and contacts from iCloud back onto my iPhone, having no contacts is a real pain! If anyone can help it would be really appreiciated!
MESSAGE TO APPLE: Your support is a complete joke, why should I have to pay for your assistance on clear design flaws with iCloud and its ability to sync with iOS enabled devices. Also you should really consider allowing people to download their photos / contacts via iCloud.com

me again everyone, I've managed to find my contacts on my iPhone. When I look under the contacts app it just says "no contacts", but if I look at the contacts tab via Phone they all appear, weird bug.
Still problems with my photos though

I need to move my photos and contacts from my old iPhone 3 to my new iPhone 4. When I open iTunes, it is not letting me sync my old phone so I can back up to my new phone. Any thoughts?

Buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, and run Software Update twice.

Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

My calander and contacts are syncing on ipad and iphone but not my photos.

Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account. On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar. Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default. (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com. Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone. Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs).

What instructions?

You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address book etc) or with a cloud service (iCLoud, Google, Yahoo). Sync your contacts back from wherever you were making the backup of them. If you have not been backing them anywhere, then they are most likely gone.
If you updated the iOS through iTunes and assuming that your photos were present at the time of update and you deleted the photos afterwards; you may try restoring the iPhone from the last backup, provided that you had not synced your iPhone after deleting the photos.

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS

1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3.     Select "See All Options"
4.      Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.
