Recurring appointments do not synch correctly usin...

Hello
When creating Meetings/Appointments in Lotus Notes using custom repeat pattern, eg. Monday 1pm-4pm, Wednesday 8am-10am, etc., and then synchronizing to the phone (Nokia 6300), only the first appointment shows on the telefon.
I had the impression that PC Sync will expand the original repeating entries into a set of individual instances.
Is this not true? What do we miss here?
Also when choosing "every frist friday of the month" starting eg. on the 6th of march would repeat on every 6th of every month but not on the 1st Friday....
Normal repeating appointments like every week etc. work fine.
We use:
- Nokia 6300 (FW 7.21
- Lotus Notes v6.5.5
- Nokia PC Suite v7.1.18.0
- Windows XP en SP2
- USB Cable connection
I have seen similar threads, eg one thread in this forum called "Syncing recurring calendar events on S40 mobiles" but there were no answers to it.
Is this a know issue? Is it a question of telefon model used? Will this problem be solved?
Thanks,
Alain

Hi,
i got a 6300 and have the same problem with Outlook.
6300 firmware: version 07.21
PC Suite: version 7.1.18.0
Outlook 2003 SP3
I found a workaround in the web (it's no real solution) for Outlook.
You need Excel for this Workaround.
Maybe there is an similar way for notes.
First you have to export yout appointments to an excel file.
You can achieve this in Outlook under File/ Import-Export. her starts an assistent und you can export your appointments in an Excel file (you can choose a FROM-TO-Date).
Open the Excel file and you see every single appointment. The recurring appointments are single appointments in the file.
Delete every appointment except the recurring (now single) appointments.
Import the Excle file into your calendar. You can overwrite or keep the old appointments. If you keep it, you have a recurring and a single appointment at the same time, so I propose overwriting.
Before you try this the first time, I recommend to save your Outlook pst-file before trying.
If you synchronize now with your mobile phone, the single appointments (former recurring appointments) are synchronized correctly.
In Outlooks it makes no big difference.You still have your recurring appointments. The only disadvantage ist, that you need a little more HD-space and that you can't delete the appointments all at one time.

ICal (4.0.4 (1395.7)) on Mountain Lion 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro 13" not synching correctly to iPhone 3GS

iCal has stopped synching calendars correctly with my iPhone 3GS. I am syncing via iTunes, not via the cloud; I have the latest patches for Mountain Lion; I cannot upgrade the machine's OS, because I need Rosetta. The iPhone is running the latest version of iOS Apple has pushed, but this began a couple of patches ago - I was holding off on the latest because of Reasons, and upgraded hoping the upgrade would fix it. It didn't. I also have the latest version of iTunes for Mountain Lion.
Symptoms:
No appointments made on the phone, in any calendar, make it into iCal. (I have five calendars that used to sync; all stopped at once.)
Old appointments made in iCal before this started happening still sync correctly from iCal to the phone.
New appointments made in iCal sometimes make it onto the phone, and sometimes do not. I haven't been able to detect a pattern.
When new appointments made iCal do make it onto the phone, they are correct, except that there is always a second ghost appointment also created, only on the phone, called "New Entry." It will have the same time and date information as the actual appointment, and be listed as the correct calendar, but will contain none of the associated appointment data.
I have tried:
Upgrading phone to latest iOS version
Desyncing all calendars from phone, then resynching them.
Telling iTunes to overwrite all calendar data on sync. (I know this actually happened, because appointments I'd made on the phone which had not synched disappeared after overwrite was initiated.)
Resetting phone to factory and reapplying everything from scratch. (This was the most recent action, two weeks ago, was a huge pain.)
None of these resulted in any change in observed behaviour.
What is new in the last few days is that until now, all iCal appointments had been making it to the phone, so as long as I made the appointments in iCal first, I could at least know of them while in the field. Alas, that is no longer the case.
Any ideas?

Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

One song does not synch correctly

I purchased a song from iTunes on my Mac. I added it to two different playlists and synched those playlists to my iPhone 4. When I play the song on my iPhone, it does not start at the beginning of the song (the first 10 or 15 seconds seem to be missing). The song plays correctly on my Mac.
I tried deleting the song from my playlists, syncing, copying the song again to the playlists, and re-synching. The song still does not play correctly on my phone.
Does anyone have ideas for how to resolve this?

Hello Michael,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the song purchased from the iTunes Store. I recommend following the following article, specfically the section titled "Authorize using the correct account name," for the issue you described
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Photos not synched correctly on iOS

Hi and thanks for reading.
Sometimes it happens that some photos are not synched on my iOS devices through iPhoto and iTunes.
For example, I have the option to sync my last 3 months events. Everything is synched but there is one event of which I have 20 photos, all shown on iTunes iPhone synch options, but after synch I have that event with only 10 photos on the iPhone.
This is not the first time it happens.
Any help?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
Regards
TD

Photos on ipod nano not synching correctly

I just received an ipod nano 8g for christmas..i finally learned how to put the music on but am having trouble with the photos..i have a windows vista and have created a folder for the photos i want for my ipod..then i synch them just like they tell me to do..there are 28 photos in the folder and im only getting 8 to go onto the ipod and those are all messed up..hard to explain..lines of all different colors through the photos..i get a message that says not all photos can be synched to my ipod..but i dont understand why...what am i doing wrong...ive tried several times and different folders on my computer and same problem..not all the photos go on and the ones that do have lines all through them...im getting pretty frustrated and any help would be greatly appreciated...im new to all this technology stuff..thanx again

I think most of us are having problems with this which is annoying. If you check out the other e-mail threads you may possibly solve something for your own ipod that might work. I suspect it is looking likely though that it's not Vista compatible due to the amount of problems being experienced..very disappointing. Good luck

Apple TV 2 - Not synching correctly during movie playback

Hi all,
Recently bought the new Apple TV and have set it up fine. During some movies playback I notice the picture starts to jerk and then the sound is about 1-2 seconds ahead of the picture. To rectify this I have to pause the video, then play. When I pause, I can see the video playing catchup to whichever point in the sound I paused it at.
Is anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone know what the cause of this issue is?
The movie plays fine on my iMac with no synching issues. Im assuming its because my iMac is running and using its processors at that given moment. Some of my movies are MKV files encoded to MP4 via Handbrake.
Some help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

It could well be because your Mac is heavy on resource usage running handbrake which will use as much CPU power as is available to do the job.
Having said that I've seen this occasionally with ATV1 and ATV2, and recently I've wondered if it's iTunes doing something else eg automatically downloading a subscription podcast, and effectively freezing to other processes like AppleTV streaming as it saves a podcast to disc.
The other obvious candidate is the network not quite keeping up with streaming demands and running slightly behind.
Try playback without Handbrake or other intensive processes running - does it behave better?

Recurring Appointments are not synced

Hi,
We are running a CRM 2007 and are using the client-side Outlook Integration.
If I create a recurring appointment (once a week for 1 year) it is synced once but only until e.g. 4 weeks in the future and 4 weeks in the past.
After these 4 weeks the appointment gets lost.
Has anybody had this issue before?
Thanks for hints.

More info on this - the problem appears to relate to only Outlook 2007 and not XP.

ICloud mail not synching correctly on Iphone4s

Ok i'll try to explain the best as I can please forgive my bad english.
I have 3 Apple Product
-1 Macbook Air 2011 (lion)
-Imac 2010 (LION)
-Iphone 4s 5.1
On each device I have 3 email account setup
1 @me.com (icloud set to Push)
2 @gmail.com (both set to push by Exchange on Iphone)
Note : Contacts and Calenders work #1.
1)Ok So exemple I send an email to any of the gmail account. All my 3 devices gets the email np
If I read the email on my iphone, the MBA and Imac receive the info and count it as read
If i read the email on any of my mac, the other mac and the iphone count it as read.
2) If I send an email to my @me.com all 3 devices gets the email
If i read the email on my iphone the MBA and the IMAC recevice the info and count is as read.
if i read the email on any of my mac, The other mac count the email as read BUT the Iphone keep saying that I have an unread mail.
The only way I can remove that notification is to open the mail app on the iphone then it will update it as read.
Stuff that i tried
Remove the Icloud account and readd it (when i did that Email werent even entering on my iphone as push i have to set it to manual then back to push.
Restore the Iphone (the Iphone was 5.0.1 when i got it, so by restoring it It updated to 5.1).
Close the Mail app on the Iphone completly
Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
Now what do I do

Please read Apples own support document on the subject
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
if you read an icoud email on your iPhone, iPad or iPad it will update the "Read" status on a Mac
But if you read the same iCloud email on your Mac it WILL NOT update the "Read" status on you iPhone,iPad or iPod (FACT)
Along with 1000's of others I have been experiencing this for some years now
The above link to the Apple support Document will confirm this to you, the relevant section says
"If you read one of your iCloud email messages in the Mail application on your computer, that email will still appear in your unread mail count on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until you open Mail on that device. Once you open Mail on the iOS device, the message status will be updated."
Just read it for yourself at the link above

Exchange events not synching correct after 3/14/2010

I have several all day events in Exchange/Outlook. Starting on 3/14/2010, they appear a day earlier than on my Pre (1.3.5.1) than in Exchange. This does not happen for regular events (non-all day).
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

That date corresponds to the start of Daylight time in the US - 2am 2nd Sunday of March.

Issue with Google Contacts : birthdays not synching correctly

I have an issue with Google Contacts synchronising to my iPhone. For some reason, the birthday on the iPhone uses the previous day for displaying the birthday.
For example, if I put the birthday of December 30, 1987 for a contact using the online Google Contact manager, it will sync to my iPhone correctly as as December 30, 1987.
However, if I update the contact on my iPhone (change address, add website, change phone number...), the birthday jumps back in time 1 day (in our example it jumps back to December 29.
If I edit a contacts details on the iPhone both Birthday and Anniversary skip one day back in time after the Sync occurs. This will happen every time I edit the contacts details so if I start on e.g the 30th of Dec after one edit the date will be the 29 Dec then after another edit the date will be the 28th etc...
I can then edit the date(s) in Gmail Contacts and they will sync correctly back to my iPhone. Only when I edit a contact on the iPhone will the date(s) skip a day back.
The region of my iPhone is set to "Belgium"
Timezone is set to "set automatically"
How can I solve this conundrum?

Have you checked your time zone within your Google calendar settings? (http://www.google.com/calendar/) It's just an idea ...
I myself found several issues in syncing my contacts with Google (over the air via ActiveSync / Exchange on iOS4 as well as using the API within Address Book / iTunes) with truncated names (e.g. prefixes and suffixes) and re-arranged addresses (german scheme vs. US-scheme: post code, state) and can't recommend the Goole services for users outside the U.S.

When I try to synchronise my calendar it all goes wrong when I have recurring appointments which I enter on Outlook. These are in the format ' first Tuesday of each month' as I play Bridge with different partners on different days each month so it is NOT every 4 weeks necessarily, it depends on the month. These get lost on synchronisation or sometimes end up on a totally different day/date. What can I do as it is very annoying.
Also it altered some theatre dates where I had entered both date and name of play - the name of the play vanished when I synchronised not just on i-pad but it deleted the info from Outlook as well.

Others have the same complaint. iCal on the iPad can do recurring appointments, but not in the format you want (First Tuesday of every Month). It will do the same DATE each month (e.g, the 25th of each month), but for now it does not do a particular DAY of each month.

TS2481 home laptop does not upload my recurring appointments to the iphone on only one of two computers

Until recently I have been able to sync my office desktop Outlook 2010 to my home laptop through my iphone. Now my home laptop does not upload my recurring appointments to the iphone even though they appear on the laptop.
I did play with the 'days back sync' settings but I thought I restored them to before. I'm pretty sure they match the settings on my office desktop.
Suggestions?

The computer on which you are not able to go online,Go to the command prompt and perform the following test.Copy and paste all the information in your next post.
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter..If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter..If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...
Now,copy and paste all the information in your next post.

Recurring Appointments not syncing from Outlook

My Iphone picks up the initial appointment from Outlook but not any of the reoccurences. Any ideas?

When you go into the iPhone appointment, does it say repeat? Try creating a recurring appointment on the iPhone, and sync to see if it comes over to Outlook. Then compare that appointment with the other recurring appointments you already have in Outlook to see if you notice any differences.

ITunes not syncing recurring appointments from Outlook

Not sure if its iTunes version 10.7.0.21 or the iPhone5, but when I make changes to a recurring appointment in Outlook (the single instance, not the series) it does not reflect on iPhone's Calendar. This was useful to me when I have a monthly bill reminder and was able to mark it 'paid', for example.
Previously I had an earlier version of iTunes and a 3GS.
Thanks

I am having the same problem but I do not believe it is iTunes related as it only started to happen when I updated my iPad to IOS 6.
Recurring entries are not syncing.
My iPhone with IOS 5 still syncs Outlook recurring entries via the same copy of iTunes and Outlook on my PC.
This looks like a IOS 6 issue.

ICal not syncing correctly with MobileMe

For the last week or so, ever since MobileMe was being updated, my iCal synching with MobileMe and iPhone has stopped working correctly. When I enter a meeting into iCal, it syncs to MobileMe and therefore my iPhone.
HOWEVER, any new calendar entries from the iPhone (or MobileMe's website directly), do not show up on iCal even after i try to manually Sync them. Furthermore, if I change the time of a meeting or call on iCal, a DUPLICATE meeting is created in MobileMe, thus polluting my calendar on the iPhone and MobileMe with multiple entries. When I am on the road, I can't figure out which is the correct meeting anymore.
Not sure if this is due to new iTunes or the update with MobileMe servers last week.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot this to date:
- In MobileMe preferences, I stopped synching my MacBook with MobileMe and wiped out all of the data on MobileMe. I rebooted my MacBook, then, I Reset Sync Data from iCal to MobileMe. It seeded fine, but still doesn't show any appointments created from the iPhone or within MobileMe on my iCal after re-syncing.
- I deleted my MobileMe account on my iPhone. Rebooted iPhone. Re-added my MobileMe account to the iphone and synched the calendar. The calendar syncs and shows up, but still no appointments created on my iPhone or within MobileMe show on my iCal.
- I have also tried to NARROW the variables of my issue by not synching ANYTHING ELSE other than iCal (no contacts, mail settings etc.). To No avail, still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?? I sense there is something cached in the bowels of my iCal settings, but have no idea to re-set them to re-enable synching.

I solved the issue. I took a risk and wiped my MobileMe account clean one last time, then RESET SYNCH Data from my MacBook to MobileMe.
Then, I crossed my fingers and deleted my calendars on my iCal desktop.
I then, chose RESET SYNCH Data FROM MobileMe TO MacBook pro - effectively overwriting my iCal with the same data I just uploaded into MobileMe.
The result? Everything started working again. I added meetings to my calendar with my iPhone and they showed up on my iCal Desktop (MacBook). Yeah!
