Problem when syncing with MobileMe

I am using iPhone 3G, software 2.1. I use GMail for email (no problems) but my contacts, and only my contacts, sync through MobileMe.
The problem is that with MobileMe active, my Contact list, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings and several other minor features simply do not work - they open, pause for a few seconds, then crash. The Mail application also hangs and crashes every other time I open it.
My local Apple Store restored 2.1, after which my Contact list and Email worked perfectly until I re-activated my MobileMe syncing, after which the problems resumed.
As the problems occurred only after MobileMe syncing is turned on, I assume this is the cause of the problem, but because "Mail, Contacts..." settings crashes every time I open it I cannot disable MobileMe syncing.
Any suggestions please? All help gratefully received...

This was resolved by completely removing the MobileMe account from the iPhone, rebooting it and adding the account again.

  • Contact Groups not showing up on Iphone when syncing with Mobileme

    My contacts show up in my address book on my Iphone but when I go to look at my groups the page is blank and I cannot get back to my contacts without closing and reopening contacts but still no groups. I want my groups to show up. I have at least 4 groups that show up on my me, and syncs fine with ipad....
    I THINK THIS IS A ISSUE with the new verizon iphone.
    Please help if anyone has

    I am having a similar issue. As is my wife. I also believe that it is a bug in the current iOS on the CDMA iPhone 4.
    It is just as you described, and I have to close Contacts completely in order to restore my access to the contacts list. And, like you, our groups show up just fine on our iPads (within minutes of making changes, as we sync over MobileMe).
    It doesn't appear to be a letter-case issue, as at least my login is in all lowercase letters.
    I sure hope that this is fixed in an iOS update soon! It's rather problematic for those of use who use their iPhones for business purposes.

  • IPhoto frozen when syncing with MobileMe galleries

    Hello all,
    I have about 30 MobileMe albums uploaded from iPhoto. I noticed that 3 seconds after i updated metadata (photo title, rating etc) of any photo in the online gallery, iPhoto freezes. I am very positive the freeze is caused by the fact that iPhoto tries to sync that change with MobileMe (the icon next to the online gallery changed to the spinning wheel)
    I come from a programming background and it seems to me the freeze is caused by something like "using UI thread to do the sync and because the thread is blocked by the network I/O". I hope this is not the case because it's a very poor/half-*** design.
    Does anyone have insight on how to avoid/fix this issue?

    syncing with Mobile me does lock up your system - I'm guessing tha this is because until recently you could continue making changes while the update was taking place causing problems with the update
    The best way is to make an album of the photos you want in the mobile me gallery, make all of your changes there and then publish the completed gallery

  • Double Calendar Entries when Syncing with MobileMe Cloud

    I synced up my new iPhone the other day and all of my calendar entries are doubled up on it - two entries for each. It's been syncing with my MobileMe cloud for a few days now and continues to have this problem. Funny thing is, my Calendar app on my Mac does not sync up the double entries. It only shows one, as it should be. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    This happened to me too and I think it has to do with your phone showing your calendars from your MobileMe and then all of them again from your computer. Go to your Calendar on your iPhone and hit the "Calendars" button top left and it should give you options to select "All Calendars" or "From My Mac" or "MobileMe". I ended up having "All Calendars" selected and it showed both, Computer & MobileMe at the same time so it looked like I doubled everything.
    Let me know if this works or if I screwed up on my syncing or preferences somehow.

  • IPad calendar problems when syncing with new operating system

    I downloaded iOS snow leopard to my computer and then when I performed a sync with my IPAD the calendar got messed up with several old appointments and things cluttering it up.  Is there a way to revert back to what I had before I performed the sync?

    Hi Techno bozo!
    You should see if you have a backup of your device in iTunes. If you do, you can restore from that backup and get the correct information as it was at that time back onto your iPad. This article can help explain a little about restoring from a backup:

  • IPhone 4 restarting problems when syncing with iTunes

    I know been done before, just to clarify some things is that though some answers are correct to a percentage.
    First one needs to try another USB and another PC or Mac for clarifying that its not a problem with the iPhone itself. I found this out when I had this problem and well I tried another USB port and working fine now.
    Disabling USB ports through device manager can get results - however you may be adding additional problems - the problem is associated to the hardware of the computer (mac or pc) and this is either software related with drivers or hardware related and the USB port is stuffed - connecting any device to this port can result in failure of that device. Identifying the USB port is at fault can help you in many ways to overcome other hardware faults on your computer - seriously this isnt just about the iPhone but more to the point saving your computer from damages.
    Due to many viruses and software codes - identifying if the problem is hardware or software based can be tricky, even with aid of programing benchmark programs, the only real way to know if it is hardware and not software is that doing a complete reformat - really this is the quickest and most surest way of clarifiication - you can spend days on end trying to identify where the fault is through programs and stuff and really you may not get anywhere - so reformating the computer and complete reinstall will determine if it is a hardware fault - now if it is hardware fault then it can either be the port itself, the motherboard or the power supply going to that port - so best be sure to back up everything and safegaurd all your hardware componants inside the computer as if it is a motherboard or power supply you really down want all your hardware becomming faulty due to surges or even meltdown.
    Now if the iPhone is going faulty on other USB ports of other computer systems then you really need to contact your supplier if under warrenty or have it repaired - unless you personally know how to repair them. I have read a few threads here and they are archieved so really no one that I know of has covered this answer I am applying now. so if there is a failure to syncing through iPhone turning off and on then really cheack out the computer and iPhone (iPhone on other USB ports and other computers) and protect your data.

  • Weird problem when syncing with iTunes

    Something strange is happening today while trying to charge/sync my 3G with iTunes.
    About halfway through the sync a box comes up saying "processing 20090705 184634 2.mp4"...when that comes up it basically locks up iTunes and I have to shut the program down. It's done this the last 3 or 4 times I've tried to sync...even after total system reboots. Any idea what is causing this/

    I had done all of that to no avail.  I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again.  I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped.  Everything is good to go again.  thanks for  your reply

  • When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?

    When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?
    Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
    I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
    Please help !
    Nick

    Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
    Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
    Any ideas welcome !!

  • Anyone else haveing a problem with appointments not syncing, duplicate appointments when syncing with Outlook? Also, noticed that my primary SMTP disappeared, and I had to re-establish to send e-mail. Apple tech support was worthless.

    Anyone else haveing a problem with appointments not syncing, duplicate appointments when syncing with Outlook? Noticed the problem a couple of days ago.
    Also, noticed that my primary SMTP disappeared, and I had to re-establish to send e-mail.
    Apple tech support was worthless on both issues.

    Hi I am also in the UK, but not with Tiscali and am having the exact same problems. I can also send with wifi, but not 3G. I have tried amending all sorts of settings, including those above and amending the smtp server to the settings for my provider, but all to no avail.
    It is thoroughly frustrating, as I cannot send emails unless I have wifi access.
    Any further suggestions would be very welcome.

  • Address Book won't sync with MobileMe - inconsistent data!

    I recently began getting 'Inconsistent Data' messages when I sync with MobileMe for my Address Book. I have always had an auto sync and never had this issue. I am told to reset the MobileMe data from another computer - which I have tried to do but with similar error results.
    My most recent data is on MobileMe...I have so far failed to sync this data set with what's on my Mac Platforms.
    I have tried to resort to merge data or erase data on this computer from the sync options dialogue box, but still end up with "inconsistent data. Try resetting your data on MobileMe".
    I'm afraid that if I did that, then I will lose all my current data on MobileMe - which is the most recent, since most of my input for my contacts is made directly from my iPhone or iPad (both of which are syncing correctly).
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I have the exact same problem but have not been able to get my computers to sync with contacts although my iphone and Ipad are working perfectly. I tried deleting all my contacts in both mobileme and locally and tried to sync but was unsuccessful and still get the inconsistent data message. I hope someone can help us.

  • Events from iCal changes when synced with phone :-((

    Hi! I've just bought a bluetooth adapter so I can sync my phone with ical. I'm convinced this will bring me one step closer to a digital synchronized heaven, but (of course) I encountered a problem:
    When I have added an event to my phone (Sony Ericsson T610) and syncs the calendar with my laptop (iBook G4 933 MHz), the event is "postponed" by two hours. For example: I have an appointment with - say - Pamela Anderson from 12:00 to 15:00 which I add to my phone. When syncing with iCal, the event has changed to 14:00-17:00.
    When I add the event to my laptop first, and then syncs it with the phone - the time of the event is set two hours earlier . To take my great example again, the event would then appear to be from 10:00-13:00.
    I've gone through all preferences etc. I can find in both iCal, iSync and on the phone. I've found no help online either... Does anyone have a clue? If so, please give me a hint on what to do, I would be immensely grateful!

    I was convinced that my time zone was GMT, but when I checked it was GMT +2 hrs, which solved my problem! Thank you so much Julian for helping me solve this, I cant wait to start a synced life

  • Missing a calendar in iCal after syncing with MobileMe....

    i am having some problems with iCal ...i am missing one my Calendars in iCal and wasn't sure how to get it back. I downloaded the calendars file and calendar.plist from my Time Machine backup...the missing calendar showed up at first, but it seemed to disappear right away (i assume after syncing with MobileMe.) Not sure what would be the easiest way to bring it back.......

    It's possible to restore from Time Machine, though it's a slightly complicated process. Please follow very carefully the steps described here:

  • Itunes 10.6.1.7 keeps crashing when syncing with the new Ipad

    Glad to find this forum!
    It's been a disappointing and frustrating week for me as I have tried to sync my new ipad with itunes 10.6.1.7. Itunes keeps crashing without reasons when syncing either apps, music or videos. Btw, I am using Windows XP SP3.
    So far, I have not been able to play any videos because Itunes always crashes.
    I have tried to re-install Itunes for more than 5 times [with fresh install] but the problem still occurs. I have also tried to downgrade to Itunes 10.5.3 as suggested in the other threads but Itunes still crashes. This only happens when syncing with the new Ipad.
    I have an Ipod Nano which works great on both version of Itunes.
    I am really disappointed because I can't watch movies and/or listen to music on my new ipad because it keeps crashing.
    My wish is just simple. I just want to be able to watch movies and listen to my music on my new ipad. Sadly, this is not possible yet.
    Can anyone help?

    I get the exactly the same problem with win 7, i rang apple support who suggested i try another machine/or create another account on my machine???? why should i, stupid ipad 3rd gen is now sitting here un syncable, apple support ....tut tut very poor support, its a shame im out of the 7 day period otherwise this ipad would be going straight back, older versions of itunes worked fine, some one must know a fix for this??

  • IPhone loses play counts when syncing with iTunes

    I would like to repeat the question from this thread, which has mistakenly been marked "answered".
    When syncing with iTunes, not all play counts are transferred into iTunes. When I turn the iPhone off, it even forgets the complete list of played songs (it is even deleted from iTunes itself).

    I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.

  • IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

    This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
    Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
    Here is what I have tried:
    • All software updated
    • Ipod was reformatted and restored
    • iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
    After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?
