Spouses, Assistants, etc... don´t synch to IPhone "Contact" App. Why not? Is there a solution?

The Addressbook in Lion has entry blanks that enable one to list a person's relatives and work colleagues. This feature was also available in Snow Leopard and Leopard. These also exist in MobileMe, so when one synchs, the information from these entries are transferred to the Adressbook there. However there are no such entries on the IPhone's "Contact" App. so this valuable data does not get tranferred to the IPhone when synching. And the option to add fields doesn´t include these. Will Apple cure this annoying inconsistency? Do you experience the same problem? What do you recommend as an interim solution?.

Someone posted this solution that was provided in a different thread which so far has worked. For step # 4) I just put the iPhone in Airplane Mode which seemed to work fine:
Here is the summary of the steps I took to correct the issue:
1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
6) Open the Message App to verify the fix.
If you are still broken, kill the Message App again, then reboot your phone.

Mail app receive my mails always late comparing my iPhone mail app why ?

mail app on my new MBP haswell on mavericks receive my mails always late comparing my iPhone mail app why please ?

There are issues with Mavericks Mail but only for some people. Worst on Exchange, but remember this is not "push" mail. It will never be as fast as Active Sync push.
For $1.99 try Airmail app, see if it is any faster. For me it is faster. If you rely heavily on 'On My Mac' folders then Airmail needs another release (in Beta currently) to support them properly, otherwise it is a very good app..

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

Hello Karen
Check out the quoted section below to see if you any subject line is causing the issue of them not syncing.
iOS: Syncing Notes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
Unable to sync notes with Outlook
If notes are not syncing from Outlook, verify that you don't have any notes with no content or subject in Outlook. These notes can prevent Outlook from syncing as expected; removing them or adding a subject should allow syncing to resume

My Outlook v.14.2.4 contacts don't syn with my Contacts App. Can you help?

When entering contacts in Outlook for Mac 2011 (v 14.2.4), they don't sync to the Contacts App. I just upgraded to OS 10.8.2. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

You are running a very old version of FCE (v 1.0.1) on Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.8) under Rosetta on an Intel Mac (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz) with QuickTime X. This is not a great combination. FCE v1 was released in 2003 and was designed to run on a G4 (PPC) Mac under Mac OS X 10.2 or 10.3 with QuickTime 6.5.
Did you recently install this copy of FCE on your MacBookPro? Did FCE ever run on this MacBookPro?

I have updated my iphone and all data have gone including photos contacts and notes .is there any solution? I am about to syncope!

I have updated my iphone4 and all data have gone including photos contacts and notes .is there any solution?

All data that was on your iPhone should be on your computer.
All photos that were transferred to your iPhone from your computer should remain on your computer and can be retransferred. Photos/videos captured by the iPhone can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before installing an iOS update. Re-transfer these photos from your computer as with any other photos available on your computer.
Contacts and notes are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer, and there are some free email accounts that support syncing contacts and notes over the air.

HT4557 New iPhone 5 & pad3 library & individual books don't synch properly. iPhone 5 caused it. Advise

iPhone 5 & iPad 3 library & individual books don't synch properly . Problem began when changed from iphone4s to 5. Help!

Hi Ryguy2303,
As far as I understand, syncing photos TO an iPhone and FROM iPhoto on your MBP is determined purely on your sync settings for your iPhone in iTunes.
Step by Step...?
Here is a screenshot of the sync settings for my iPad 2 in iTunes... Note at the top of the page that I have selected to "Sync Photos from iPhoto". My iPad 2 only has 16GB memory, so I have to be selective with the number of photos I copy across, and choose to sync "Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include Events from the last 3 months" in the dropdown option box.
It is important to note here that iTunes provides many different combinations of syncing photos to your iPhone.
If you want all your photos in iPhoto on your MBP to be copied to your iPhone, it is as simple as clicking the option circle for "All photos, albums, Events, and Faces". Once you have selected this option, click the "Apply" button in the bottom right corner of iTunes and a sync with your iPhone should commence. Sit back, grab a drink and relax, cause if you have a lot of photos this will take some time, even with the lightening cable connection.
If you want selected photos, then play around with the options... you cannot do any damage here... you are simply asking iTunes to manage to process of copying photos from a location on your MBP (shown as iPhoto in my screenshot above) to your iPhone. No photos are harmed in this process.
If I have missed the point completely, please let me know.

IPhone Mail.app does not sort mails by date

I've just copied about 3000 old mails from a POP3 account to my Gmail account (IMAP). This was done through OS X mail.app, which just works perfect both in the OS X Mail.app and in the Gmail web interface.
The problem is that the Mail.app on my iPhone seems to sort the mails by some kind of mail ID so all the copied mails appears first in the Mail.app. I can't find any way to sort the mails by their date, which I guess will solve the problem.
If there is missing importing information about the problem please let me know so I can supply with more information.

This is a known issue with gmail. I found this in their FAQ:
"Messages uploaded or copied into Gmail using IMAP may display the wrong date in your inbox or other labels."
See http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=82365&topic=12922
Apparently "The correct dates should appear in conversation view." applies only to web browsers and not the iPhone Mail app.

PNG files sent to iphone Photo App do not appear on 'date taken' (manually added in windows explorer)

I have over 1000 PNG files that do not have exif 'date taken'. They only have exif 'date created or modified'
The 'date created/modified' is not the actual date that I took the screen shots.
I added the 'date taken' manually in windows explorer. However, it seems that this does not write this data into the exif 'date taken' which remains blank.
When I transfer the PNG file from the PC to IPhone Photo App, it does not appear on the 'date taken' (that I added manually) but appears on the exif 'date created or modified'.
Interestingly, when I do same as above but with JPG file, it does show up correctly based on the 'date taken' (that I added manually in windows explorer).
So I converted the PNG file to JPG using one of the online tools. However, when I do this, the converted file does not retain the 'date taken'.
I can fix the above by:
1. Use Paint to save the PNG file as JPG; this retains the 'date taken' but this is not the solution I am looking for as I would need to do this for each file (there is no bulk 'save as' in Paint)
2. Use a file conversion tool to bulk convert from PNG to JPG; but again this is not solution, as I would have to manually add the 'date taken' in windows explorer to each JPG file
Alternatively, I tried to rename the file name to include the 'date taken' and then use an exif date changer app to set the xhif dates based on file name.
However, I was not able to find any software that would allow me to do this. The software that I have seen only picks up the 'date taken' from file EXIF data. But in my case there is no such data in the file - only the 'date taken' that I manually added in Windows Explorer.
Any advice is appreciated. All I want to do is transfer PNG files from PC to Iphone Photo app and have these files appear in Photo app based on the 'date taken' (the one I manually added in windows - not the date taken in exif data).

Have you touched the "More" button (on the iPhone).

To get rid of it, I plugged iPhone into Mac,
Go to itunes.
Click on Iphone in iTunes.
Go to Books tab,
Scroll down, there is audio books.
Choose sync selected audio books,
And untick the ones I don;t want.
Dows this work for you?

I just got an iPhone 5, and my backup won't restore apps from my iPhone 4. Why not?

I backed up my iPhone 4 immediately before initializing/installing my iPhone 5. iPhone 5 went through all of the procedural rigmarole of a new set-up, and some things did transfer over (ie, settings, pics, txts, contacts, etc...). However, NONE of my apps made it over. Not a single one. Why not?
EDIT 1: None of my music made it over, either. We're talking 2,000+ songs.

Great question...that was one of my concerns. I back up to two different computers. One is a Mac, and long story short, I can't update via that comp because of outdated OS (needs new iTunes, which needs new OS, etc...). So the music is on THAT computer, not the one from which the new phone was initialized.
This brings up a new question - I just ordered Snow Leopard, which I'll have by Thursday. I'll install that onto my Mac, download updated iTunes, and then update my phone. Will the music then transfer over?

TS1424 iPhone in-app purchase not credited but charged.

I was charged 3 times for an in-app purchase for Bejeweled Blitz and received an error 2 of the 3 times for the purchase from my iPhone, so I was not aware that I was charged 3 times until I checked my iTunes account today. I was only credited from Bejewled Blitz with one charge of $1.99 for 270,000 coins. I need $1.99 times 2 credited back from them or the points added (270,000 coins for $1.99).
Thank you in advance,

IPhone Contact App

Now I am curious, I have a stand alone contact app that I got after installing iPhone 2.0 I am wondering if everybody has this because I haven't seen it in any pictures.

I am curious. wrote:
So it was on there?
No. It installed with the 2.0 software.
Its an application that was previously only available on the iPod touch. More detailed information available on page 97 of The iPhone User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf
