Some entries not syncing

Over the last 12 hours today and the same yesterday I have been trying to get all my contact details synced.
Mac Home machine.
My Mobile..Sony Ericsson
Second mobile with another network sim card
Laptop PC
The second phone (the nokia) will not sync with the mac
I can sync both phones with the PC.
I syn'd all data over to the mac and have cleaned up the address book...geting rid of dupes etc.
I now have 795 entries. And all seemed well.
Some data e-mail addresses or phone numbers Will Not copy across.
I can sync all data from mac to Sony phone.
But when I sync to outlook express...a random few entries have data missing..like ..only one phone number, or a missing e-mail address. All 795 contact names come across from mac to Sony to PC, to Nokia,, just some loose random bits of data
Obviously this may not be solely the Mac causing this issue, but although to the eye all the entries in the mac address book appear to be the same...some obviously are not...maybe a formatting issue or something?
Any one come across this before

i had same problem. everything worked fine backing up iphone to macbook pro and Ical until IOS 5 upgrade, then selective entries on Iphone wouldn't backup to Ical despite repeated attempts. I did what you did, turned off calander iCloud feature so it backs up only to MacBook and it seems to have solved problem.

Some Photos Not Syncing to iPad 1, but issue is not the photos.

Some Photos Not Syncing: When syncing iPad1 64gb IOS 5.0.1 w/HP desktop, some but not all jpgs sync from a folder. (There is ample free space on the iPad.) The issue is not the photo files as I have verified that the jpg's are all compatible both through Adobe CS5 and by successfully getting the photos to sync to the iPad by making a copy of them and placing this duplicitous copy in a 2nd temporary folder, which then sync's all the jpg's to the iPad just fine. Still, it makes no sense why they won't all sync from the main photo folder.
[Folder structure is: Sync My Photos Folder; Subfolder 1 syncs all; Subfolder 2 syncs some; Subfolder 3 syncs all. But if I add a new Temp Subfolder 2a and copy non-syncing photos in it, then I am able to sync all teh photos.]
This is a very inconvenient situation, and it wastes space on my desktop harddrive as I have to have all the photos in the main folder--not the temp folder--to which they ar assinged. Has anyone else encountered this, and is there an explanation or solution for this issue?
Thanks.

Outlook-Updates to EXISTING Calendar and Contact entries not syncing correctly - two PC's

My setup is two PC's (one at work, one at home), one BB. Both PC's Outlook are Outlook 2003, SP3. I do not use BES. I sync my BB to both PCs.
I have experiencing specific issues where updates to existing Outlook Calendar (mtg notes) and Contact (contact notes) are not being sync'd from one PC to the next PC (via my BB device - Sprint Curve 8330 running OS v4.5.0.131). I sync PC's to my BB using BB Desktop Mgr (v4.7) and USB cable.
Here are specific details of what I am doing to duplicate the issues.
1) Calendar:
I have been away from work the past two days. In that time, I have updated two (2) calendar items at my PC at home - both items are at my work PC as well.
Item one: I moved the date from Wed to Thurs, and added a note - done from home PC
Item two: I changed the description of the meeting, and shortened appt from 3 hrs to two hrs - done from home PC
Both items sync OK with my BB
Upon coming to work this morning, neither sync'd to my work PC. I finally did the following:
Item one: I deleted from Desktop Outlook, opened in BB put a space in the meeting description saved.
Item two: Opened on BB, put a space in the meeting description saved.
Upon resyncing, here is what happened
Item one: Sync Mgr noticed conflict of deleting from PC and changed in BB. I chose to copy item to PC. This results in syncing correctly to PC
Item two: Sync'd to PC correctly.
Something is NOT right. The sync process did NOT recognize these two items that changed until I manually intervened (updating on the BB).
2) Contact:
I ran a test today where on my work PC, I added a comment into one contact's note. I successfully sync'd that contact note to my BB. However, when I sync the BB with my home PC, that note did NOT make it to the home PC.
I opened the contact (in edit mode) on my BB, inserted a space to the contact's name, erased the space, and saved the contact.
I then sync'd the BB to the home PC again. This time, success - the contact's note got sync'd to the home PC.
HELP
I have seen this sort of thing a few times before (where sync did not sync a Calendar event/mtg correctly) in the past three months or so I owned my BB - but this is the first time I decided to actually test out the fix. This is the first time I noticed with a contact (maybe b/c i do not look at my Contacts updates as closely as I do my Calendar mtgs updates)

Thanks for your feedback:
2 things..... I somehow had created a duplicate calendar which may have been >blocking the sync. If you have it as well, delete this calendar and try to sync.
I have several calendars in Outlook - there is the main one which contains everything, then where I have marked certain entries as 'Personal' or as 'Anniversaries' etc a separate calendar is created with those entries in them.
Also, I read somewhere that some calendar entries will corrupt the sync of the > phone. Delete all new entries since the last successful sync and enter a test >entry and try to sync the phone. To the best of my knowledge, there is no >indication that an appointment is "bad" other than the phone will stop syncing. >So perhaps after each sync, check the phone to ensure any new entries appear.
I can't possibly tell when the last successful synch occurred! I also don't want to delete entries - I need them all!
There appears to be very little advice on this problem, hopefully this will >work.
Yes, it seems that the Great God Apple isn't anywhere as smart as it thinks it is. I am really frustrated and not a little angry. This is basic stuff for any other phone, let alone a Smart Phone!
Thanks for your comments, though.

Existing Calendar Entries not Syncing to iCloud

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7 that has five calendars. I attempted to sync it to my iCloud account today and it only syncs one of my calendars ("Work"). The other calendars ("School", "Home" etc), show up in iCloud in the Calendars sidebar, but none of the entries do. If I create a new event on my phone in any of the calendars, they show up and sync perfectly to the iCloud and to my new MBA (running Mavericks). Likewise, events I create on my MBA and iCloud show up fine on my phone. So, why are these existing entries, for all but one of my existing calendars, not syncing? Any ideas?
I've tried toggling iCloud on and off on my MBA and my phone; signing in and out of iCloud; restarting both phone and MBA.... no luck. My next step is the restore my iPhone, but I'd really rather not do that. I hope someone can help!

I suggest you do the following:
Go to your old MacBook that contains these calendars, open iCal, click on each of your calendars on the left-hand side of iCal and export a backup to your desktop. To do this, open iCal, click on the calendars one at a time, go to File>Export>Export and save to your desktop. Then email each of these backup files to yourself.
Next, open the emails on your new MBA, double-click the attachments one at a time, and select the corresponding calendar on your MBA to import each calendar to. This should import the calendar entries to your Mac and to iCloud. When done, comfirm that the calendars on your Mac contain the events, and check icloud.com to confirm that they appear on your calendar there as well. If they do, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Calendars to off, choose Delete from My iPhone at the prompted, then turn Calendars back on, and if prompted, choose Replace. This will replace the calendars on your phone with the ones on icloud.com.
Oh, I have a good feeling about this! I will try it out and report back in the morning. Thank you so much!

IPad Calendar Entries Not Syncing to iCal

Greetings,
I'm having an issue with new, manual calendar entries I make to my iPad 2 not syncing over to iCal on my Mac Mini. Syncing in the reverse manner works fine, however. I'm using iTunes 10.7 on my Mini to sync as I do not use iCloud at all. I'm using iOS 5.1.1 on my iPad 2.
Anyone has insight on the issue?
Thanks.

For anyone else with this issue, give this a shot as this is my next step to try also:

Why is there an alert as to some files not syncing when it looks alike everything is synced?

I see a red exclamation point and a notification that some files did not sync, but it looks like everything did sync. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that did not clear up the condition. I did have to add a "Creative Cloud Files" folder… Could that be the issue? Why wasn't it there when the program loaded?

What files? What system? What else? You need to be more specific.

Some music not syncing to iPhone 6/iOS 8.0.2

Hopefully someone can assist as i've exhausted all efforts to try and figure this out.
Ever since i switched over to my new 6, i can't get all of music to sync onto the device. The song and artwork appears on the device, but when i try to play, it just skips to the next available song, and then a STOP icon with a circle around it appears. I have tried numerous things, including following some suggestions from other ASC users. The music is in my itunes library, i can play from itunes. Just not from iphone.
I have reset my network settings. Signed Out/Into iCloud. I have done numerous syncs, i have tried wiping the music library, and re-adding all songs. I have even restored my phone without music, and then manually added all the music back in. Still nothing. I have attached an image to illustrate the problem.
I have gone through all my settings, ensured that i'm backing up to the computer, not to the iCloud as i thought that perhaps it was a lack of memory in my iCloud backup causing this. Again, still nothing.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Did someone else experience such a problem with 8.0 and has a suggestion? Please assist. I got a 128gb iphone for my vast music library, and can't really use it.
Thanks.

I have not seen a progress bar that busy since the day I brought my iPhone 6 back home. Whatever I tried, iTunes simply would not sync everything in my library. In the end, the problem turned out to be as simple—but as deadly—as this:
In the current version of iTunes/iOS, there’s a bug that only appears when you have duplicates of purchased songs. When encountered, a duplicate of a purchased song will (almost always) cause iTunes to silently stop syncing.
This is a known-to-Apple issue, and it will be fixed in a forthcoming update. I’m fairly certain it’s an iTunes bug, but as Apple didn’t clearly state which it was, I’m calling it iTunes/iOS. Either way, until it’s fixed, it’s a really bad bug.
Here’s what happens: If you have duplicates of purchased songs, iTunes simply silently stops syncing when it hits one of those duplicates. From your perspective, it will look like everything is working—iTunes never throws an error, and it proceeds through all six (or seven or whatever) steps of the sync process, as seen in the status window of iTunes.
But behind the scenes, nothing is happening—at least, nothing relative to syncing your files. As seen by my troubles, this can be incredibly frustrating and hard to fix.
Continue reading to see how I was able to finally (with Apple’s help) get my devices syncing again—the tricky part is finding all the duplicates, because they’re not all obvious. Also note that if you are not having sync issues, I wouldn’t worry about duplicates—no need to endanger what’s already working well!
The “tell”
If you’re affected by this bug, you’ll find that your iOS device will get some, but not all, of your content. When you look at the device in iTunes, you’ll see something like this:
Those items with the gray dotted circle didn’t actually sync—iTunes told the iOS device the files were coming (so they show up in the list), but the file itself didn’t transfer. What seems to happen is that iTunes will sync up until it hits a duplicate of a purchased song, then it just stops (without telling you it stopped).
The fix
To fix the problem, you have to get rid of the duplicates—note that it’s only duplicates of purchased songs that cause the problem. In theory, this should be as simple as selecting your Music library, then using View > Show Duplicates. I did that first, and went through the list of matches to find actual duplicates of purchased songs.
I found a few, and removed them, but sync still wouldn’t work. Eventually, iTunes wasn’t reporting any duplicates, so I was somewhat stuck. I’d then send my sync log files back to Apple (they had me install a logging profile), and they’d be able to identify the next song that caused the problem. I’d remove that one, and then we’d then repeat this process, one painfully slow song file at a time. Ugh.
Why didn’t iTunes see these duplicates? Because they’re just different enough to not meet iTunes’ criteria, it seems. For example, here’s a duplicate that Apple identified which passed iTunes’ filters:
As you can see, the artist and time are identical, but the title and album are not. Listening to each track, though, they sounded identical to my ear. When you look at the Get Info window for these songs, you can see some other differences (click to zoom, wide window required!):
Notice that the file sizes are slightly different, and that one item has a purchase date while the other does not. These differences are enough that iTunes doesn’t think these files are duplicates, but are close enough to trigger the nasty bug.
The tool
So how do you find these devious semi-duplicates, if iTunes won’t identify them? I turned to Dupin ($15), Doug Adams’ excellent duplicate finder. I tried various combinations of Criteria settings to make sure I was getting all the dupes; this one was particularly effective:
By searching on identical album, artist and track numbers, I could find all those duplicates that had different song titles (the first three songs above, for instance, all have illegitimate dupes). Not everything found would be a true “bad” duplicate, as some CDs are just weird. You can even see that in the screenshot—Counting Crows’ Holiday in Spain and Paved Paradise are both track number 13 on Hard Candy.
Instead of using Dupin to remove the dupes (which it can do), I just switched back to iTunes and decided which one to keep and which one to delete.
After I completed this process—I found about 20 such files, all much older purchases—I was able to sync my iPhone and get 100% of my content transferred—hooray!
A very important heads up
When you first connect your iOS device after clearing your duplicates, you may see this dialog:
If you see this dialog, it’s really important that you click the Don’t Transfer button! If you do transfer the purchases back, you’ll be recreating your duplicates. And that would not be a good thing to do. (Ideally, you’ll have transferred any other legit purchases prior to clearing out duplicates, otherwise you’ll need to redownload them.)
So how’d it happen?
Just where did the duplicates come from? That’s a great question, and one I can’t completely answer. Every duplicate I found was a very old iTunes purchase—most from 2003, none newer than 2009. I don’t use iTunes Match, so it couldn’t have been some automatic thing that just happened. And all the duplicates have notable changes—some have a higher bit rate, some are DRM free vs. protected, some are longer in duration, etc.
It appears to me that, somehow at some point in time, I must have told iTunes to upgrade my collection (perhaps related to the removal of DRM, many years ago?). Those new versions should have replaced the old versions, but for whatever reason, they did not.
Years pass, and there’s no problem, because this bug is apparently a recent arrival. But once the “bugged” version of iTunes was on my Mac, the duplicate songs became sync killers.
Wrapping it all up
This was a long painful process—it’s only been four days since I picked up my iPhone, but solving the sync issue is about all I’ve been doing since then. I thank Apple for the prompt response to my issue, and for working with me to get everything working again. Everyone was incredibly professional and seemed genuinely interested in solving the problem—even on a Sunday morning.
Apple’s “normal” tech support folks were also very good, even if they didn’t seem to have the knowledge to solve the problem. They spent quite a bit of time with me, making sure they understood the problem. They checked in with me yesterday, to let me know they were still working on it.
Regardless of who solved it, I’m just very happy it’s solved…and hopefully this article will help someone else out of the same situation.

Some albums not syncing

Hi everyone, have just got a macbook pro after my pc brokedown, i have transfered my itunes libary from my ipod using senuti but after re syncing my ipod to my itunes on my mac it wont sync some albums, i am not 100% sure because cant remember all the albums i bought from itunes but do think it is those albums not syncing, can anyone help please.

i am not 100% sure because cant remember all the albums i bought from itunes but do think it is those albums not syncing, can anyone help please.
I'm not sure what you mean by "cant remember all the albums." Do the albums appear in iTunes?
If they do not appear in iTunes, they are not in your iTunes library. If they do not appear in your iTunes library, they will not get synced to you iPod, because the iPod is syncing to your iTunes library.
If they do appear in iTunes, but do not appear on the iPod after a sync, make sure you have the iPod set to +Sync music+ and +All songs and playlists+ (on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes).

IPhone calendar entries not synced with MacBook calendar

I use my iPhone 4S calendar as my primary calendar for entering or modifying events for the simple reason that it's with me most, if not all the time.
But after upgrading my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion last week, calendar entries entered or modified on my iPhone no longer synchronize with the calendar on my MacBook Air. As such, I have to manually make the entries or modifications on my MacBook Air so that the calendar will be updated when I synchronize it with my iPad. Am not using iCloud, so the calendar on my MacBook is a local calendar (On My Mac).
Any thoughts on why this is happening and what can I do to fix this?

I have noticed a problem recently, although I can't absolutely be sure it's related to Mountain Lion on the computer. Perhaps iCloud (which I set up, but am not really using yet).
My specific issue is that if I go into Calendar (formerly iCal) on the mac, and edit an already existing calendar event -- change the time, or move it to another day -- the change doesn't always sync through to the iphone properly.
Example: I had a recurring weekly event for 7:pm on a specific day of the week. The start time got pushed back to 7:30. I changed it on the mac, and sync'd to the phone. However, the change did not get applied to the iphone calendar. If I edit it on the iphone itself, it will sync back the other way correctly.
Same sort of problem occurs if I move an event from one day to another on the mac. I will wind up with it showing up on BOTH days on the iphone. If I delete an item, same thing.
It acts like the iphone versions of calendar entries are write-protected in a way. If I edit them on the phone, the changes stick and sync properly to the mac. If I try to do it the other way around, they do not.

One Birthday Entry Not Syncing

I have managed to sync all but one of my subscribed birthdays from the address book. Just one entry won't sync across. The address book entry is on the iPhone and the Birthday, however it won't show in the calendar. Any thoughts? Is it anything to do with the date...is there a limit, sounds silly but it's in 1921 so is that too long ago. I'm sure this can't be the cases otherwise they wouldn't allow you to enter it!
Thanks

YOUR QUESTION IS NOT SILLY!!!
I'm very frustrated that starting DAY 1 with version 1.0 of iPhone software, no birthdays over 74 years old appear on the iPhone!!! I missed my dad's birthday last year!!!!!
Applecare support duplicated this for me on the phone and then said - go on line to support and enter feedback to get our attention.
Well I've done this several times.
I wonder if it will take an article in an AARP journal proclaiming age-ism in the iPhone to get Apple's attention!
Yes you are not crazy and we are both a bit disappointed.

Some contacts not syncing from mac to BB

I have the Bold 9700. Prior to this I had an iPhone and kept all my contacts synced on my mac in Address Book. Now that I'm trying to use BB, the BlackBerry Desktop Software syncs *some* of my contacts, but not all of them. The contacts that are missing are actually there, but there's no information on them other than their names (so no phone number or any other info).
I've been trying to resolve this issue for the past 2 weeks but I can't find a solution. I was going to buy a new BB in March for my birthday because I actually preferred it over iPhone, but the way things are going I doubt that'll be happening

Nobody?

Some of my appointments dissappear from the date on which they were scheduled and revert to the day on which I made the entry - this happens to only some entries not all

I am currently finding it almost impossible to use ical. sometimes when I make diary entries the entry appears as I have entered it in ical but the next day a selection of entries are no longer in their correct position but are listed as all day events for the day on the entry was made. This is a problem that has only emerged in the last couple of weeks but I am not aware of having changed any settings during that time. I would be very grateful for any advice.

Hi!
Well, there isn't any family member who could do that, because they don't have any access to my iCloud, so the second one is not an option for sure!
Also, I am positive that photos don't stay in the stream only for 30 days, because I've had those photos from mid-end September in my iPhone, why did they just disappear?They should've disappeared long ago!Also, in my previous device I had photos stored in my stream for up to 8-9 months and they never disappeared, so this one doesn't seem to be the answer!
Thank you though for your time, I really appreciate it!

Some photos not syncing from Mac to ipad

I am using iPhoto 11 9.2.1 and iTunes 10.5 and have iPad 2 on iOS 5.1
In iTunes I have selected, sync photos from iPhoto, selected Albums, Events....Events from the last 12 months, Include videos.
Under Albums I have 1 Album checked, Events is Grayed out and only the last 12 months of events are checked. The total picture count is 1276, only about 400 photos are syncing. I upgraded to iOS 5.01 today before doing this sync. Unfortunatly I had not tried to sync these photos prior to the upgrade so not sure if that is a factor.

I had the same issue this morning after the iOS 5.01 upgrade. There was an option to sync photos from a "pictures folder". This worked but the "pictures" folder doesn't have all the organized albums and folders that are in iPhoto. So, working to find a fix for organizing the "pictures" folder since the new iOS doesn't sync from iphoto. Any help on this would be great. I think when I upgraded iPhoto today, the pictures folder may have been created.
Not sure. Thanks

Some mail not syncing between iPod and MacBook

Hello
I have an iPod Touch, 4th gen running the latest version of iOS and a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5. Until Friday I had two e-mail accounts that I used every day, and got my messages on both the iPod and the MacBook. I have iCloud set up with an icloud.com address, plus another address not related to iCloud. All my icloud.com message would sync perfectly between my iPod and my MacBook.
On Friday I deleted my other address (the non-icloud one). Now all the messages I received to my icloud address *before or after* Friday sync to my MacBook, but there are three messages that I received on Friday that only appear on my iPod. I would like to see these on my MacBook because that's where I keep old messages for future reference.
Any idea how to fix this? I can forward them to myself, but then the recipient will be me and not the original person. Not a tragic thing, but will be confusing when I try to find them in the future.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Just to be sure I understand your question:
This is with an Apple email account (@iCloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com)?
When this happens, is the mail visible through webmail on iCloud.com (on the desktop browser)?

Some updates not syncing from WSUS to SCCM

I manually sync'd WSUS today around 1:30 to get all of the new patches. Everything seemed to go ok, so I then sync'd SCCM with WSUS and again, everything seemed to go ok except this..... I noticed that MS14-021 was not in my SCCM repository or
in WSUS. I tried a few more sync's but no luck. I then manaully added 24 patches for MS14-021 into WSUS and that seemed to work, but when I sync with SCCM, I only get 1 syncing. Security Update for Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Server
2012 (KB2964358) is the only MS14-021 update in SCCM.
Any ideas why I have 24 of them in WSUS and only 1 is coming down to SCCM?

Hi,
have you included all the operating systems for MS14-021 in SCCM?
