PlayBook Contact & Calendar Sync/Video Chat - can't get them to work

I love my PlayBook ((OS 2.1.0.1088) and as a BB9790 user had never bothered to try to use native contacts/calendar applications until recently when a couple of relatives bought PBs and asked me questions. I have a number of GMail accounts which work brilliantly for mail receiving and sending on the PB, but have failed totally to get contacts and calendar to sync despite selecting that option for one of these. In desparation created a new Hotmail account, imported some key Outlook contacts and tried to sync them with my PB. Nothing. If I try to create a new contact I always get the message after tapping to enter the contact information: "Application was interrupted. Please close and open it again to continue." If I do that and restart contacts, nothing changes. I tried deleting all my email accounts and starting again with a GMail as the primary email with sync for contacts and calendar, but the problem persists. This also impacts Video Chat as it uses the same contact application so is unusable. If I search Contacts it appears to do a remote lookup but never finds any contacts.
The Calendar application when opened just shows the Calendar app icon in the top left corner with 31 and no calendar. Swiping down to show the settings, indicates 3 GMail calendars from different accounts are in place and if I press refresh it suggests a sync is taking place but no calendar framework ever appears, let alone entries.
Would appreciate any suggestions as I have read all the related PB contacts' forums which haven't offered a solution to this particular issue. Thanks

I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back?

I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back? I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud. I changed it back and still don't have any events.

Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers? If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

You can get your information back if you have previously done a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

Go to this site and click on how to restore from backup.
This will help you with putting the information back onto your device.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck

I keep trying to sync things among my MacBook Pro, iPAD, and iPhone. Usually this works fine for a few days, but then I notice that the calendars aren't syncing and the "notes" aren't syncing. How can I get them all to stay in sync?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2.
I have an iPad 2 running 8.1.3
I have an iPhone 6 Plus running 8.1.1
I have my Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Notes set up to sync over iCloud among the three devices.
I haven't had a problem with the Mail or Contacts syncing (at least not as far as I know), but the Notes and the Calendars don't seem to stay sync'd up. I will notice that they aren't sync'ing, will delete and re-sync and they are fine for a while, but inevitably they stop sync'ing at some point. This has been true through earlier incarnations of operating systems, so not something new.
How can I get them to sync and stay sync'd?

There used to be a tab under Itunes that allowed you to select to sync things like calendar, notes etc. but this is no longer there, can anyone help?
This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.

There are two ways to have photos on the iPhone. First is the camera roll, these are the pictures you have taken with the iPhone camera. The second are pictures that are synced to the iPhone through iTunes from the computer you sync with.
The pictures in the camera roll are designed to by imported to the computer just like photos taken with any digital camera. They are not designed to be only stored on the iPhone.
If you imported the pictures to the computer or performed a backup of the iPhone prior to the attempt to upgrade software on the phone,all you need to do is restore from a backup. If you did not create a backup, you can look for the last backup you made if the pictures would have been included in that backup. Unfortunately, in that last case, you will also lose everything you have done since that backup.
If you have been backing up or syncing with iCloud, the pictures should be there. If you have not done any of the above, the pictures are lost.

My ipad and iPhone have different email addresses in the FaceTime field but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone, how can I get them both working on facebook

My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

Can't get Themes to work for movie using iMovie on ipad

I finsished a trailer using iMovie on my iPad successfully and LOVED it! Sooo fun!
Now I'm trying to make a movie for a friend's wedding, but I can't get it to work with the themes. When I select my theme and start a new project using a few pictures the theme music works when I replay, but no visual elements of the theme I selected show up (or available for selection). when I click on the gear wheel, it does show what theme I selected.... What am I missing???? The only place the theme shows up is on the tile in the "projects" section.
Then I tried the same thing on my iphone 4S (iOS7) and the same thing happens.
I looked at the tutuorials etc...and I think Im doing it right (after all, I got the trailer to work perfectly) and I think I'm not technologically challanged - but I just would like to have the theme visual elements to show up.
Please help
Mir

Tap the Transition points and choose the star icon. This is for theme associated transitions including their graphic elements.

I accidentally deleted my account under the Mail, Contacts, Calendars setting. How can i get the account back?

In settings > Mail, contacts, calendars> account. i was trying to delete the email part, but i didnt know it also deleted the notes part. i really need the notes. how can i get it back? the email wasn't an iCloud account.

If you don't have an Installer disk then you can't install without a purchase. Do you have the grey SystemRestore disks that came with your Mac? It's on that. No, iPhoto is not part of Lion.

HT204150 half of my contacts just dissapeared, and I can't get them back

Half of my contacts have dissappeared leaving only the first 75 contacts. How do I get them back?

Log into icloud.com with a computer's browser and check the contacts page. If they are gone, then they're gone. If still there, then you need to be sure your device is logged into icloud using the right ID.
If they are gone, you can try performing a restore from a backup of your device. While there has been debate as to whether a backup to icloud includes contacts (since they are supposed to be on icloud anyhow), so the backup may not contain the contacts - especially a recent backup (this depends on how long the contacts were deleted).
If contacts are still on the computer, then you can try syncing them to icloud (this would only be the case if the computer was not connected to icloud, since otherwise it would have synced by now and lost the contacts).

I did my phone reset and i lost my contact and my messages please can i get them back

i did my phone reset and i lost my contact and my messages please can get them back

The only ways to get them back are to sync with your iCloud account, if you have one set up with your contact and messages being backed up there, or to sync with your computer that you use to backup your iPhone data and apps.
Hope this helps

Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter - Can't get it to work!

Bought the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter to hook up my Macbook to my TV. I tried it when it first arrived and it worked within minutes of setting up. Great! I go to set it up and use it again a week later, and it wouldn't work at all. I went through every possible setting I could to try and get it to work, nothing. Do these things have a tendency to go out or short out or something? I'm getting nothing but scrambled screens, grey screens, etc. Nothing seems to work.

Any other solutions for playing my laptop on my TV?

Hey Rob,
Is your profile information accurate? The MacBook 2,1 was introduced in November of 2006 and discontinued in May of 2007, so the mini-DVI to video adapter ought to work.
What, exactly, do you see on your screen? Are all of the connections nice and snug? Do you have another RCA cable you can try? You can use a white or red one if you want; they all will work as long as you're connecting the video adapter to the yellow port on the TV.
