Problems syncing iPhone 3G (Backup does not work!)

I have had a series of problems trying to Sync my iPhone. It first it said I didn't have enough space. I deleted the backups (this might have been a mistake). I tried almost every suggestion I could find (reinstalled iTunes, deleted the phyiscal backup files (and folders), etc.
Now iTunes indicates that it is "backing up", but the progress bar does not change and after many minutes there is not progress.
I am concerned that I will loose all the applications (many applications) that I have installed if I simpy reset the device. I understand I can download them separately but that will take HOURS. I am also concerned I will use my recorded audo memos,
I was hoping there was another option(s). Apple is useless.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes or iPhone forums.

How does one do a two way contacts sync between an iphone and outlook? Most of the community has answered as this to be "always so", but it does not work! Changes made on outlook get done in my iPhone, but it does not work the other way around!

Try this:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

What if sync with new computer does not work. logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes. New is Windows7 with 64bit version

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Exchange 2010 "event id 403/401 The physical consistency check" Backups does not work...Critical!!

Hi,
At this moment our backups does not work. We have two error on the event viewer;
Exchange 2010 sp3 version 14.03.0158.001
We have only one server Exchange 2010 with two databases for users...
Event id 401;
Instance 1: The physical consistency check has completed, but one or more errors were detected. The consistency check has terminated with error code of -106 (0xffffff96).
Event id 403;
Instance 1: The physical consistency check successfully validated 629126 out of 1110272 pages of database '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy33\exchangedb\global\global.edb'. Because some database pages were either not validated or failed validation,
the consistency check has been considered unsuccessful.

Hi Javier,
From your error description, I recommend you do the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Please run CHKDSK and restart server.
2. Run a Database level Mailbox repair request.
What's more, here are some useful threads for your reference.

I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
so i'm using the usb mouse

I want to clarify the issue.
The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
Post here with your results!!

My iPhone's sound does not work except for the alarm and the volume bar is not there.

Hi, thank you in advance if you can help.
When my iphone 4 is not plugged in to headphones the sound does not work, and if I try to adjust the sound with the plus and minus buttons in the side it comes up like normal saying "Ringer" but then there is no bar underneath it. Sometimes the sound will work for a couple of minutes. However, there is definitely no problem with the speaker as the alarm always works perfectly fine.
I have tried restoring it, this did not help.

what you could even try is to write down a few contacts that you would need to get through a single day, restore it to factory, punch in those few odd contacts,
No. What he should be doing is syncing his contacts to an app on his computer or cloud service, then sync them back to the phone (without restoring the backup).
Never rely on the backup for contacts. The contact info stored there may be incomplete and is only meant to maintain the recent calls and favorites lists.

I can't restore the back up of my phone and when i try to sync my phone it does not work totally nether what should i do ?

i am trying to sync and back up my phone but it never works, so i tried to restore my back up but a message is telling me that an error occured so it does not work. It caus me a problem because i won't stop receive messages telling me that my iPhone as no space available even if i have deleted a lot of things.. help me please!

It might be the battery, it sure sounds as though it could be. What happens if you leave it to charge, does the charging symbol show, does the battery icon show full, part full or empty at any time?
If you check here; https://locate.apple.com/uk/en/ and enter your postcode in the Service box, you should see the options available to you from Apple and its Authorised Service Providers. They can advise you about the battery and you should be given the cost before you commit to spending your dosh!

Sync iPhone5 to Contacts does not work, but contacts to iPhone5, works..! Crazy..??

Hello all..!
I added a new contact to my iPhone 5, and after a day or two tried to find it from contacts. Resolt? NOWHERE..!!
I made all steps, before i write this question here. Tried almost(!) every help i found at sites. but didn't work.
Finally, I deleted the contact from my iPhone5, and added it at first at contacts. I made sync, and the new contact came to my phone..!
Please, what is wrong..??? This anomaly drives me crazy..!
iPhone5 --> Contacts (iMac) does not work.
Contacts (iMac) --> iPhone5 works..!
PS. Before "Mavericks" was Mountain Lion, without problem...
Thanks in advance

Well not sure about anyone else but finally spoke with "support" today.
First call I made I was told if I paid $79.00 I would receive assistance for a year.
They could fix my problem through my pc.
Well not paying.
Phone 1-800-APPLE and was told that because didn't pay for call display through
my provider it isn't going to work for me.
Seems they don't advise you of that when you are making a decision on buying a phone.
They at least could have put a *note saying function only works under specific conditions.
I would have checked that out first thing.
Lesson learned I guess. Now my provider supplies that option free for new plans but won't
apply it to mine. So much for customer service. This all within a couple of months.
Now if anyone has any information that would change what I was told please let me know.

ICloud sync with MacBook Pro does not work

I've installed iOS 5, updated Lion to 10.7.2, marked Calendar and Contacts sync in System settings for iCloud on my Mac. However iCal and Address Book sync between iCloud and Mac (MacBook Pro) does not work though there is no problem in syncing between iCloud and iPhone. Whether I create new event or contact, change existing one or delete existing one in iCloud this change is not reflected on my Mac and vise versa. I could not find a solution in this site or in forums.

Yep, worked for me, too and now contacts and calendar seem to be syncing perfectly. We'll see if it lasts.
Thanks for your answer.
