Random changes when syncing

Since changing to Lion and iOS5, date/times for events are randomly changed during the syncing process. Events are no longer editable on my iPhone4. Notifications show duplicate references. Events are removed. None of these problems occurred before the upgrades. I've tried syncing with iCloud. I've tried syncing from my computer. Accuracy has been lost in all cases.
What should the preference setting be to insure an accurate sync from computer-to-iPhone?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • 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

  • WHY do we get a %*# update every 2 weeks while the 1 really bad bug (fonts and sizes randomly changing when typing) persists????

    Is there any way to STOP TB from sending updates every couple of weeks (and BTW this has slowed down/crashed TB increasingly in the past couple of months) UNTIL they fix this really irritating bug of randomly changing fonts and sizes when writing a mail? Outlook doesn't do this, Apple mail doesn't do this, so TB stop spamming and start addressing real problems for a change!!!!

    It would be helpful perhaps to focus on "the real issue" of font size and compose, rather to digress into how vendors choose to deliver the product.
    font issues arose in the past year. I forget exactly when. It is quite a bad problem. My recollection is it was a serializer change not done by Thunderbird developers, and that part of it was fixed in version 24. But I could be wrong.
    Would you be willing to try version 31?

  • Random changes when changing setting for individual slide in a slideshow

    I've used iPhoto for years and produced many slideshows. However, now when I try to use Ken Burns Effect for an individual slide, I click on the "start" area, adjust my slide, click on "end," and then iPhoto jumps to a totally different slide in the slideshow. When I go back to the slide I wanted to work with, nothing was saved, and the same random change of picture happens.
    Actually, the Ken Burns Effect hasn't worked correctly on ANY slide I've tried.
    Also, when I try to rearrange the slide order, the slides may stay in the correct order for a few seconds, but then a slide may jump four slides to the right (and again out of order). This behavior is strange and random. It is infuriating and I don't know what to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    ALSO, when I export a slideshow with music, the song plays fine for a few minutes, but then another song starts and the two songs are playing on top of each other (actually, it may be the same song playing over itself too).
    What gives?!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Dates get randomly changed when importing folders into Aperture

    I am in the process of migrating my iPhoto pictures over to Aperture. Because I have close to 100k pictures and short clips, I can not import my entire 500 GB library at once because I don't have enough hard drive space to support both iPhoto and Aperture libraries at the same time. I also thought it might make sense to not have one gigantic library. Also I would like to have my old photos separated by years, and I don't know if Aperture would do this if I imported the entire iPhoto library (which does only separate them by events) at once. So it appears to me that the only import method that would work (please correct me if this is wrong) would be to open the "Masters" directory of iPhoto in the Finder, and drag and drop each year's directory into the "Projects/Library" panel in Aperture. Note that I do not want any editing information preserved from iPhoto, so using the Masters seems to be the most space efficient thing. So far so good but there appear to be at least two big snags. Firstly the yellow projects folders within each blue years folder in Aperture are not in chronological but in alphabetical order and I can't find out how to fix this. Secondly (and much more problematically) the dates on many old photos have been altered in an apparent random manner during the import into Aperture! Therefore they do appear in the wrong locations in my events library, according to the altered date. There are many too many photos that have been changed to undo this manually (I estimate it would take several weeks to do this).
    But how and why could this have happened in the first place?
    I also noticed that even when I change the dates of the Aperture masters to the true ones (by comparing to the masters in iPhoto), they still remain in the same wrong location in my Projects/Events library, according to the date originally (and falsely) assigned by Aperture.
    There surely has to be a way to import photos into Aperture without ruining their date stamp?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi iScientist,
    If I understand you correctly I should not import iPhoto Masters directly, because they have been altered to be in some kind of internal organization scheme. What I'm confused about is that I thought the "Masters" in iPhoto were just untouched camera files?
    Yes, I would also be confused. The more I think about it, the less I know why anything wrong. You stated that you don't care about any adjustments you made in Aperture, so why wouldn't be okay to "reach into" iPhoto's internal database and pull out the masters? Good question. The only thing I can come up with: Maybe that folder isn't really what you think it is.
    Were you able look at the metadata in Preview after finding one of the problematic masters in the iPhoto library again? That might give a clue.
    When you say "regular way", do you mean going to "Import -> iPhoto library"? The problem with this, it seems, is that my entire iPhoto library will be imported that way, however I would like to import it chunks, split in years and on different physical media
    Yes, that is what I meant. There have been various topics in this forum concerning how to import parts of the iPhoto library. I cannot seem to find any relevant posts at the moment. Perhaps someone else has better luck searching...
    In any case, you may be better off using *referenced masters* instead of multiple libraries. With multiple libraries, your photos will be disjointed by whatever scheme you devise (like years). So, when you're looking at 2011, and you want that Christmas photo from 2010, you will need to close Aperture and restart it with a new library.
    With referenced masters, you choose to store a particular set of *masters only* (maybe all of them) in another location. You can put different sets of masters in different places. For instance, you can have one project on one external hard drive, and a different project on a different external drive. Your versions, metadata, previews, thumbnails, all stay in the library. In this way, you can at least view screen-sized versions of last Christmas even if your "2010" external hard drive is not connected.
    Looking at manual for references to referenced may be good for you before you delve too deep into this.
    What I meant by order being unchanged/the file being in the wrong location is that in the chronologically organized projects overview the projects that were imported with the wrong date, which I changed to the correct date in Metadata, still appear in the wrong location.
    Ahh, that is a bug that users discovered a little while ago. It took me a while to re-find the thread, but you can read up on that here. I (among others hopefully) have provided feedback to Apple concerning that bug.
    [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12981789&#12981789]
    I didn't think about that view because that view is not generally as useful as the list view in the Inspector pane. That view is new to Aperture 3 and in my opinion was built to make the transition for users of iPhoto easier.

  • Contact Detail Order Changing When Syncing

    I have contacts in Mac OS X address book and on my iphone. Within the contacts on my mac I have the datails "home"/"mobile" etc for different people. When I sync my iphone 3G with my mac, the order changes on my iphone to "mobile"/"home". The same happens when I create a contact on my iphone, the order changes on the mac when I sync. This is a manual sync, not mobileme. Any way to stop it doing this?
    Thanks

    Ever since upgrading to 2.0, my syncing takes forever and my addressbook won't synch in the order chosen and seen on the mac either. this used to be so easy

  • Date & Time changed when sync

    When I connected my touch to PC, and sync, touch's date & time would change to a early date & time, most of time this would happen.
    Is there anyone knows what happens?
    Thanks!!

    Hello
    this is a common problem with the ipod touch. I have it, and many others on the forum have it. It's nothing to do with the ipod, so restoring it will do nothing.
    some think that it is quicktime, others itunes.
    The only way i have found to stop it is to only plug the ipod in while itunes is closed.
    thanks

  • Catagory changes when sync

    When I sync my 80gb ipod with my computer all my podcasts and all but one of my audiobooks become "music" on my ipod. They are catagorized properly in itunes. This makes "shuffle" a pain on the ipod and makes it hard to find the books and podcasts. I noted some others have this problem with audiobooks or movies too, but not podcasts. My movies and TV shows sync'd fine (and so did one audiobook, but not 3 others)???

    I found the post below under other questions related to audiobook issues similar to mine. I followed it with a couple minor changes and it fixed my audiobook problem. I deleted the audiobook file from itunes (but kept the file instead of moving it to the recycle bin). I sync'd my ipod to remove the file from it. Then I changed the file extension as describes and added it back to itunes. Then sync'd my ipod again and everything is where it should be.
    "Re: Audiobooks - Not showing up in iPod Music > Audiobooks playlist
    Posted: May 16, 2007 12:02 PM in response to: DC Hero Fan
    I think this has been covered in several posts (search under "audiobooks"). Basically, even the stuff you download from iTunes Store is not always formatted correctly for your iPod to place in the correct spot.
    Downloaded books show up in iTunes under Audiobooks, but not on your iPod under the same. Close iTunes. From windows explorer, find the audiobook in your My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder and change the extension on the file from .m4p or .m4a to .m4b and then relaunch iTunes. Find the audiobook and play it for a few seconds so iTunes properly recognizes the file. Make sure that it is listed under the genre "Audiobooks" - if that genre is not available, pick custom and create it. Right-click the file and pick info, then options and make sure that the buttons for replaying from last position and skipping during mix play are selected. Re-synch and it should show up on your iPod under Music->Audiobooks.
    Books that you import from CDs have to be manually configured to show up as Audiobooks - again, details can be found by searching these forums."

  • Album song order changes when synced to i-pod

    On I-tunes the songs in the albums are in the correct playback order but when I sync it to my i-pod the some of the songs are in the wrong order. Everything looks ok when I look at the "get info" section. Any ideas?

    looks like I figured out something that worked for me. In itunes I selected a playlist on my ipod, inside that playlist I selected an entire album by shift clicking the first and last song. In this example I'll use "album x" which has always been out of order on my ipod...after I selected the entire album I chose "get info" when the window pops up I saw that the "album artist" box was empty but the "artist" box wasn't. I just typed the same thing that was in the "artist" box into the "album artist" box and hit ok...after a quick resync "album x" which has always been out of order is now all of a sudden in order...and it has worked for multiple albums on my ipod, especially the sound tracks, give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.
    Thanks

  • Calendar events in iPhone randomly erased when syncing

    So I've had some issues with syncing my iPhone's calendar to iCal. Sometimes after syncing, events that I had edited or added to my iPhone are erased. This seems to happen randomly, however so far it has only been happening with events that I have set to repeat on a weekly basis.
    For example, today I put my work schedule for the week into my iPhone. So I edited the repeating events that correspond to my work schedule already in my iPhone to reflect the new times for the week. I edited my start and end times for Monday through Friday. So then I got home and synced to iCal and my work schedule for Friday was erased. Why just Friday while the other days synced up fine? I don't know...
    Any ideas as to why this happens? Why wouldn't the event just update on iCal instead of just deleting itself??

    I have this exact same problem, but haven't figured out how to fix it. However, some of my events that are getting mysteriously deleted are not repeating events (some are repeating).
    So, any help would be appreciated!

  • Contact email type changed when syncing

    hello!
    i have quite a few contacts on my iPhone with various emails each one. most of which i took the time in assigning each one either work or home email type/label. but after syncing with my computer (pc / outlook 2003), most of the contacts have the email type wrong/switched.
    any ideas?
    thanks!

    Something similar happened with the original iPhone launch, when I for one "assumed" that Notes and Task syncronization would be included. If a Palm could do it, why not the iPhone?
    I have since learned to let other people be first adopters and read reviews and comments before buying. This time around I knew about the lack of Task synchronization, but I had not read anything about mail and contact field issues.
    Oh well, next time I need to wait a little bit longer I guess. Either that or enjoy living on the bleeding edge of technology (and inter company squabbling )

  • My language keeps getting randomly changed when doing searches.

    For some reason, if I do a google search then go to images and then proceed to click on the Google logo, my language gets switched and Google thinks I'm from the Czech Republic. However, this only happens when my homepage is the Mozilla default. If I change my homepage to Google, this doesn't happen. How do I fix this?
    My language in my options is set to English

    thank you demons3499 my pw stopped changing and my imessage is working, even though it is says "activation unsuccessful and my email shows up when my send an imessage to someone. This whole thing is pretty bizarre, I've had iPhones from the moment the first one came out and I have NEVER had a similar issue.

  • CC - Objects randomly change when resized, don't center correctly with align panel

    I'm not sure how clear these photos are, but here's what's happening.
    I make a compound object, then when I resize it, it moves anchors around. Note the corners on the 3rd "8" -- they're pinched together. This is happening on a lot of different object
    Edit: There are no "snaps" enabled.
    Here are some better examples

    xHeight,
    It sounds af if you are haunted by the Align to Pixel grid ghost.
    You may select your object/everything and untick it in the Transform palette; and you may untick Align New Objects to Pixel Grid in the Options.

  • PC settings are changed when Syncing

    Can someone tell me how to stop the PC settings changing everytime I plug in my Iphone. My screen saver doesn't even work now, it tells me I need a updated video card to run the screen saver. Weird!

    Hello elindi,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Although this article is a little dated, it references another article that may be of interest. Might not hurt to take a look.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2280
    Another idea would be to try and update and/or re-install the iPod's drivers using the information in this Apple support document.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Lastly, make sure your PC's BIOS is up to date as well just for good measure.
