Protect my contacts and calendar

I now sync my contacts and calendar via online services. Therefore I've got a wealth of sensitive data on my phone. Is there any way to protect my phone so that if I lose it, people can't access my phone or data without some kind of key or password? Third-party software or is there already support for this in the firmware?

You should enable your phones security code and also the sims security code.
The first think a thief would do is to remove the sim card to stop the network from blocking the handset. If you've enabled the security then they won't be able to switch it back on.
You can also enable the phones autolock, this means that you will have to enter a code to unlock your keys but it would stop someone from using it without your permission. You can still answer calls when the keys are locked.
Other useful security software can be found here: www.softwaremarket.nokia.com

  • Can I sync contacts and calendars with iTunes Match enabled?

    I’m getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks and really want iTunes match but the more I read about it the more I’m wondering whether it’ll be worth the hassle. I’ve loads of old CD rips at 128 kbps and protected iTunes files, also at 128 kbps, and what really attracts me is the idea of upgrading all these to unprotected 256 kbps.
    I have a Macbook for personal use and a PC for work, being able to sync both computers to the phone will be essential for me. I know that I wouldn’t be able to sync music with iTunes match enabled but if I can sync contacts and calendars and drag Office documents to the phone from both computers that would be OK.
    Please could someone tell me whether this would be possible?

    I think I understand now, it's nothing to do with syncing music - everything is synced through iTunes. Have I understood properly?
    Yes. Including music.

    This could be a major blow for me as I'll be using the iPhone mainly for work so I will have to Sync with the PC. If I understand this correctly, once I decide to sync with Outlook on the PC as the main priority I can no longer sync with the Macbook?
    What if I ditch iCloud and sync everything through USB?
    If it is possible for you to do so you might want to consider signing up for an iCloud account <http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html>. Keep in mind that iCloud and iTunes Match are seperate services. One does not require the other. However iCloud will work with Outlook 2007 and up so you can keep all your contacts in sync across the devices. You can also sign up for iTunes Match if you want. Or you might even consider using Google to do what you want. It is not necessary for you to keep syncing via USB, unless that is just what you are comfortable doing.

  • Contacts and Calendar not sync'ing with Outlook 2010

    All was fine today until (maybe coincidental - maybe not) I had a Microsoft Exchange email account added to my Outlook 2010.  I have an iPhone 4, and I usually sync daily, especially when calendar or contact changes take place.  I am currently not using the icloud, so all contacts and calendar events would be way too outdated.
    I have checked my Outlook settings under "info" and cannot get my contacts and address to load.  I even see the "Contacts syncing"..."calendar sync'ing" when the overall iTunes sync takes place with my iPhone.
    Help!!

    Yes, it is. Do you have Desktop Manager v6?

  • Contacts and Calendar not Pushing

    After doing a restore and update to 2.1 my contacts and calendar data are no longer in my phone. I have set the push switches for the email address to one (email works fine). I have changed the push settings on the iPhone to manual, then 15. I have gone back to the email account and cancelled sync and restarted it. The data is just not downloading from the cloud.
    Any other ideas on how to encourage this to happen?
    Thanks

    Looking into this further, I found that my email address in my iPhone had a double @me.com. The address was [email protected]@me.com. The second @me.com did not show until I deleted the address and tried to type it in again. Then immediately the @me.com would appear after what I was typing but before the @me.com.
    I deleted the account and created a new one, and everything works for now.

  • Contacts and calendar events disappearing and reappearing

    I have three issues, two of which I think are related.
    1.
    My contacts disappear on my iPhone 3G. I am set up with MobileMe to auto sync and I don't know if that is getting screwed up somehow? The contact are on my Mac lap top when I go look (thank goodness), and I force a sync and they transfer to my phone fine. This has happened twice now. I have copied my contacts as vCards and saved that file in the downloads folder just in case they get lost on both my laptop and my iPhone - I also do a regular full laptop backup to my Time Machine - is there anything else I should be doing to back up my contact and calendar data?
    2. (possibly related to 1.)
    When I am looking at my iCal in the weekly view on my laptop, sometimes several of my appointments are not visible. It is only when I try to put an appointment in that is at the same time as the invisible ones that they suddenly reappear.
    3. One of my contacts will not sync from my iPhone to my lap top? It used to be in both places but for some reason it is now only on my iPhone and even when I sync, it doesn't come into my laptop Address Book.
    Help please!!!

    i am having what i think is a very similar problem in that my Exchange (you seem to use only mobileme) contacts partially disappear. i discover this when i check my sms message list and find that many messages show only the phone number when earlier the name was there. a check of the contacts list shows that some have disappeared.
    i restarted the phone and checked immediately but it was still gone but after a few minutes they came back.
    my theory is that something is going on with messy exchange server syncs with my iphone that could be causing the process to break midway but after a while the phone automatically syncs again.
    this issue appears quite rarely for me but enough to be noticed and to be annoying.

  • Any ideas for how to sync to Exchange 2003 - contacts and calendar

    Hi
    I am still searching for a mechanism to give me the sync solution I want, which is as follows:
    At work I have a PC running Outlook 2003 via an Exchange Server 2003 setup.
    At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard
    In the middle I have an iPhone 3G
    I want to sync Calendar and Contacts across all three machines.
    I want to sync work email between the Exchange server and the iphone, but do NOT need this to sync on my iMac at home
    That's it.
    At the moment I can sync email, calendars and contacts successfully between the Exchange server and iPhone, using the over-the-air Exchange Sync on the iPhone. But sadly my iMac will not sync contacts and calendars to the exchange server 2003 as Snow Leopard only supports exchange 2007.
    Ironically (because I don't need this bit to work) I have managed to get my iMac to sync with my Exchange server EMAIL, by selecting the Exchange IMAP option when setting up the mail account on my iMac (as opposed to the Exchange 2007 option). However, I cannot get iCal or Address book to sync with Exchange 2003, regardless of the options I select when setting up the new accounts in Address book or iCal. I guess these just do not work with Exchange 2003
    I know that I cannot use mobileme as a solution, as you cannot have two over-the-air syncs going on, and I need to maintain my iphone link to the exchange server via activesync
    I also know that using itunes to sync via the cable will not work, as this creates separate contacts and calendar files on the iphone and so does not provide the syncing solution I seek.
    I have tried using google to act as the middle man between my iMac and Exchange server data - getting the iMac to sync to Google Calandar and Google Address Book, and then using a third party piece of software called gsyncit to sync from google to the .ost outlook file on my PC workstation. This works some of the time, but keeps crashing and leaving me with multiple duplicates to have to sort out - much too much hard work on a regular basis.
    So I still do not have a solution. Unfortunately upgrading to Exchange server 2007 is not a solution.....
    Any new ideas out there
    Thanks

    I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

  • After iOS 8 upgrade, contacts and calendar strangely syncing

    After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 (and just recently 8.0.2, which I hoped would fix it, but didn't), I'm seeing strange sync behaviour with Google contacts and calendar. Here is what is happening:
    Calendar
    Creating an event on the phone shows up on Google. However, I cannot edit it like I used to be able to.
    Creating an event on Google does not show up on the phone.
    Contacts
    Creating a contact on the phone does not show up on Google.
    Creating a contact on Google shows up on the phone. Editing this contact changes it on Google too.  (this seems really strange to me).
    This is driving me nuts! 

    I have similar behavior. Contact sync with google works fine, not calendar though.
    I connect to Google using Exchange protocol. Have worked excellent before, but after 8.0.2 (I suspect) calendar is only partly synchronized.
    Not all events gets synced from Google calendar.
    I used a workaround and connected to the calendar using CalDav, which is not nearly as good as exchange protocol

  • How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

    We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization.  We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
    the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones.  How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
    In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us.  After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account.  To
    solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder.  The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
    is not capable of automatic synchronization.  There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution.  We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
    offer which will automatically synchronize the folders.  After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
    Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server?  Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync?  If so, are we in the right
    direction with what we have found so far?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

  • How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

    I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
    Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
    Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
    Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
    Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
    Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
    Any help is welcome.
    Iris
    P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

  • I did a software upgrade to IOS6 and my Iphone4S is now unable to update. Do I lose all my contacts and calendar entries when I restore?

    I did a software upgrade to IOS6 and my Iphone4S is now unable to update. Do I lose all my contacts and calendar entries when I restore?

    You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.

  • "contacts and calendars cannot be synced" I just want my music, I already have contacts and calendars.

    I got an iPhone 5c a little under a month ago, and haven't been able to put music on it since then. iTunes keeps trying to sync contacts and calendars, which I already have in place on the phone (via iCloud). However, when my I plugged my moms brand new 5c up to put music on it, it worked perfectly! I've compared our settings, and everything is the same. Please tell me what to do! I have the latest updates on both devices, and iTunes.

    With my fingers crossed I uninstalled the updated iTunes that led to the problem.  Then went to the iTunes.com site to download the full version.  After the install was finished I connected the iPod and it detected and synced the iPod without any further issues.  I don't get the error, Contacts and calendars cannot be synced on the iPod "%1$S", any more.

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

  • Lost contacts and calendar, possibly MobileMe related

    My wife just lost all contacts and calendar from her iPhone 4. She had been bothered by repeated requests by the phone for her MobileMe password. As far as she knew, she was not a MobileMe user, so our son disabled the MobileMe account on the phone. After this, the contacts and calendar were gone. She has tried online and phone help, as well as a visit to an Apple Store, with no luck. Is it possible that her data still exist and can be recovered?

    She obviously has a MobileMe account or there would be no MobileMe account to disable on her iPhone. And if her contacts are now gone, this means she was syncing contacts over the air on her iPhone with her MobileMe online address book. When turning contacts off for over the air syncing on the iPhone and when deleting or disabling the account on the iPhone, contacts synced over the air go with it or are removed from the iPhone.
    Her contacts should be available with her MobileMe online address book unless she signed up for a MobileMe trial account for 60 days and didn't purchase the account allowing it to expire.
    Regardless, her contacts should be available on her computer as well. If the contacts are available in an address book app that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone, she can sync contacts direct with the supported address book app on her computer via the iTunes sync process.
