Reset/Sync/Setup issue

Hiya,
Recently my first gen iPhone (8GB)locked up installing an app from the app store. It was caught in a loop and would not load past the apple logo when booting. After spending a hour or so on the internet I was able to figure out how to restore it to its basic state.
After restoring the phone I ran a restore from backup in iTunes (from 8/10)so I could load all of my contacts, email, etc and get it back to where it was before the lockup. No problems so far, that is until it finished restoring. The iphone is working fine, but when I attach it to iTuners to sync the only option that I get is a restore. Here's what it says when I attach the phone:
An iPhone has previously been synced with this computer.
1. Setup as a new iPhone
2. Restore from the backup of: (and it shows my previous backup on 8/10)
Now this is what I did earlier, I restored from the 8/10 backup to get it up and running. I just want to be able to attach my phone to iTunes and sync it, not reload it from scratch. Can anyone help me here??

I finally got to talk to a very nice support person named Mary. My backup file from the last backup was corrupt. When I dumped that backup file, it was fine. You can do this in Edit/Preferences/Syncing. I actually dumped them all just to be sure.
It is working fine now. She also said that the phone should be turned off for at least a minute every day.
Hope this helps someone out there.

I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts.

I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history and now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts. I check the checkbox but no email accounts are present to select. My iPhone4 has all the contacts & mail account and runs ok.
Part of the solution to the previous problem was to delete (really I moved it) the contents of the backup folder. Now I get this message "iTunes was unable to load data class infromation from Sync Services". I moved the folders and files back and it did not help.

An alternate email isn't a rescue email, and it isn't possible to add an actual rescue email without correctly answering two of the questions. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

Firefox Sync Setup won't accept my login information - even after reseting my password

I am unable to complete Firefox Sync Setup on a secondary PC because the setup won't accept my login details - even after I reset my password.
Each time I try to login in either through the setup window or through account services page I am either told my login info is incorrect or simply 'We were unable to log you in'. I know my account info is correct.
Thank you

I solved the problem. Apparently, when I tried to sign up in sync the first time, it didn't go through. All I had to do is re-apply. I used the same username and everything (that's how I know it didn't go throught the first time). My Firefox is now synced and there are no further problems.
P.S.
If only I could sync my Firefox bookmarks, calender and notes with Opera, Safari and Chrome. That'd be great. I like using different browsers for different purposes. When I need the browser to disappear so all I see is what's in the window, Opera works best. Firefox can't disable the tool-bar "Auto-hide" feature in full screen mode. And Safari doesn't have a Hot-key for full-screen. At least not that I've seen.

Reset sync now unable to login

Steps taken: Setup sync and added a new pc all worked fine, serious issues and errors on new pc so reset data then format and now I am unable to log into sync. Error message: We are unable to log you in.
Original machine gives the error, and offers an add device code, new machine gives me a code to add a device, or asking for login with a recovery code, then tells me Incorrect Name or Password.
Both acting as servers to add new divices and unable to log in to do anything.
I am far from a newbie but I am baffled. Help please!

same problem here...SYNC DATA FORM DOESN'T RECOGNISE MY ACCOUNT AFTER RESETING SYNC OPTION!
BUT...
i have made the same profile with the identical personal data and i have realised that the infromation was not longer available, so the sync took them as unsed...that is a good point to make me believe that the reset is doing a fine job to erase everything...only disabling device don't erase...which leads to re-enter into the sync's id without the advertise of wrong id or password...
i have also did a sync with another computer by the key...and everything turned fine with the fact that the bookmarks were not having their icons only after clicking one by one...
because i am so tempted to switch to chrome i dare a more & deep personal comparison for the first time, but understanding this issue, it stil make firefox be the best managable internet browser...
ps: sorry for misunderstanding!

Outlook Sync/Password issue

Has anyone had issues where the outlook send and receive fails when the Iphone is connected and Itunes is open?
When I snyc I usually have to restart outlook and close Itunes before my mail works consistently. Even then, it will occasionally claim that the password is incorrect on send/receive. I have no other snyc issues.
This started after the first snyc and if I turn on the computer and do not snyc the mail works just fine.
????

One thing to try is to reset sync history.
At the top of itunes click on edit and choose preferences.
Click on the syncing tab in the preferences window.
Click the button near the bottom to reset sync history.
Click ok to close the preferences window.
Now try syncing the iphone.
Hope this helps.

Setup issue in oracle projects - classifications link(standard link) is missing in oracle projects page

Hi Team,
I have a setup issue in oracle projects
I am unable to find the classifications link in oracle projects page.
Navigation : Go to any projects responsibility-->search for the projects-->click on project -->click on setup Tab : At the bottom of the page, we can see some standard links along with UDA's.
Here one standard link Classifications is missing.
Can anybody guide me what setup we need to do get the link.
Thank you.

Hi,
The classifications link is not appearing in your Project's Setup page because, Classifications must have been unchecked in the Project template from which your project has been created. You can find the Project template information by clicking on the Additional Information link in the same Project -setup page. Once you check the classification flag in the concerned Project Template, all future Project creations made out of this template would have the link enabled.
But for the current project, classification link cannot be enabled.
Rgds,
Shan

Overclocking & Vertical sync'ing issue's

O.K. This post is strictly for braging rights. I have reached 295mhz FSB with 1.7 voltage at a 5:4 ratio. I must have had issue's before with vertical sync being disabled. With memory running further than 220 mhz I would get serious fragmentation with Open GL mostly, but for some reason when vertical sync is enabled, the frag.'s only appear in UI's of Open GL games... the rest of the game is fine (which I can live with). Of course your limiting FPS with vertical sync enabled, but really is it all just an illusion past 30 fps anyway? I can't run this board past 295mhz fsb, but still not bad an OC at all, at least by my standards.
I am finally satisfied with this boards overclocking abilities, but I do think this issue will also result from D.O.T. and should be addressed in a bios fix, or at least a mention in the motherboard manual. The threshold for my ram is about 220 with minor artifacts and changing RAM and video cards still had same sync'ing issue's. Relaxing timings and up'ing voltages had no effect also. Performance mode becomes disabled at 5:4 so that wasn't a cause either. Hope this helps.

Whooops... Ain't it getting steaming and stuffy with 295FSB folding for hours... Give your CPU a beer for the hard work...

Odd speed dial setup issue

I am getting an odd speed dial setup issue. Here are the steps:
1. Open speed dial setup screen
2. Tap an open slot
3. Search for a contact using the keyboard
4. Click on the contact to select it
If I do it that way, I am taken back to the speed dial setup screen, but the contact is NOT added to the slot.
On the other hand, if in step #3, I just scroll down the list of contacts and select a contact, it works just fine. Seems to be an issue with the search function. Anyone else have this problem?
Android v2.2
System Version.2.3.15.MB810.Verizon.en.US

The steps that you are taking correct for setting up the speed dial. I have provided a link for additional information.

Problem with reset sync history

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem syncing with MobileMe on my MacPro workstation with Mac OS X 10.6.3 and everything current. When I go into iSync preferences and press the "reset sync history" button, it never seems to finish. Even if I reboot and then try to repeat it, the "reset sync history" button is grayed out, which suggests to me that it is still running. How can I fix this?

This just started working on its own.

Will i lose all music on iPod classic if i reset sync history?

If i "reset sync history" will I lose all of my music on iPod?

Hi PhyllisT,
This will not erase the music on your iPod, but the next time you connect iTunes will act like it's the first time that you have connected the iPod and you'll have to do all of your sync preferences again. Is this part of troubleshooting?

It's best to describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible, rather than what you think is causing it or how you think it should be solved.
