Successfully using Exchange to Sync iPad, iPhone, Gmail (PC) contacts. If I lose my iPhone and contacts were erased I would lose them everywhere! Backup!

I am successfully using Exchange to keep my contacts in sync on my ipad,iPhone and gmail(windows 7). But I think that if I lost my iPhone and someone cleaned out the contacts,then I would also lose the contacts on my Gmail and iPad. How can I do a regular backup of the contacts?

Im not sure that you can restore your Google Contacts from the iPhone Backup.
Try this: Go to gmail page on your desktop browser then in Contacts, click More and select "Restore Contacts".

I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
Thank you

Since upgrading iPhone 4S to OIS 7 my outlook 2010 calendar and contacts will not sync. Anyone have a solution?

Everything was fine with Outlook 2010 on my iPhone 4S. Now with IOS 7 my calendar and contacts no longer sync. I have read so many comments online but no one has had the perfect solution. I feel as if I have tried everything. I have even reset my software and phone. Still nothing. Is this feature no longer available or are there new requirements to make it work? I am so unhappy!!!

Hello there janis143,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like after the recent iOS update, your Outlook content is no longer syncing properly to your phone.
I found this article named:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing via USB on Windows

I recommend the troubleshooting steps therein.
All the very best,

Delete the account the account from the iPad. Go to the Comcast website and deal with all of those stored emails. Then reinstall the account on the iPad.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?

I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck!

How to sync hotmail calendars and ICal using exchange/ active-sync.

I have just recently updated my hotmail account to the exchange setting in my iPhone and I have synced my mail,calendar and contacts. I'm just wondering if it's possible to sync my hotmail Calendar with my iCal on Mac os x using the exchange program. Also out of curiosity has any body been able to sync their hotmail with mail using exchange?
Thanks

How to use Airplay to sync iPad with Apple TV

I have a new imac which is linked to my Apple TV, but I want to sync my iPad to the Apple TV so I can view apps. Do I need to download Airplay on the iPad. Couldn't find a download link. Help please!

You cannot sync with the Apple TV. You can use AirPlay to stream iPad content to your TV.

Using Exchange on my ipad

when I accept an ivitation on my PC, it shows up on my iPad3 but does not accept in iPad. The iPad does not accept the invite and if
i accept it on the ipad it sends another response to the person that sent invite. what can be done so that when i accept an appointment it is also accepted on the ipad?

I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure this out. I'm sending reports to our CEO (telco) through SQL Server Reporting Services. The emails are in MHTML and when they exceed a certain size limit, the Mail app skips all pics (which look like attachments).
Since there is absolutely no documentation on the Mail app and no way to change its settings or debug it, I started trying to test with different email/attachment sizes. So far I've figured that all emails under ~140-150kb get downloaded in full. When I exceed the 140kb threshold, I start getting issues. Still, it seems like it's not a simple limit which governs what gets downloaded. When my email is heavy on the attachments, or contains only attachments, everything under 140ish kb seems to work fine. However, if I have some text, things get messier. I have a report which Outlook tells me is around 235kb and it renders ok, but when it gets to like 240kb, it doesn't.
All this leads me to think that Apple really should disclose any thresholds which are hardcoded in the Mail app (and yes, it's not an ActiveSync mailbox policy either since that's unlimited on our Exchange 2007 servers) if it wants to present its OS as a robust and enterprise-ready platform, which it currently is not. Even better, why not expose these so we can set them somehow? And why not rely on ActiveSync policies for these so we can manage this properly?
For now, our execs will be using PDFs until we get more info from Apple.
And no, it's not possible to drop SSL (how does this matter anyway?), or to change the sender. It's plain HTML, it renders fine under certain size and there is absolutely no excuse for not letting us know how this works.

My Ipad 2 have a frozen with itunes icon a lot , i bring to apple store they fix it , but on ly use about a week ipad have the same broblem a gain , I very tired and mad , I paid alot money for apple but they give mena **** that why I buy sam sung table

My Ipad 2 have frozen with itunes icon alot , I bring to apple store fix it alot , but bring home use only a week , ipad have same broblem again , I very tired and mad because I pay alot money for apple but they give me bad ipad , future I thing about samsung tablet . Now my ipad still have a problem I am very upset this ****.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

I'm using iMovie on my iPad 2. when I import a jpeg from my desktop and use it in a video clip it is so large in the frame it is not usable. No matter how I resize it in photoshop it's still the same. When I take a photo with the iPad it's no problem.

I'm using my ipad2 with iMovie. When I import photos from my pc and try to use them they are huge. Even when I resize them in photoshop they are still huge and unusable. How do I resize them?

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

Updated my ipad to the iOS 6.1.3, only apps, music and videos were restored?! HELP!!

I don't know if this is a stupid or noob problem, but I did the update and everything, then after it restored from my back up, i opened to see my ipad in factory settings?! I finished the setup and all, and then i saw all my apps not in the folders that they were meant to be in, no app data, no camera roll photoes, no background images and passcodes. So my ipad was pretty much restored and backed up onky with apps, music and videos. Nothing else!! In previous update+backup restores, the ipad just goes back to how it was before being updated, with everything in place like how it was originally. Later I also tried restoring again, form an earlier backup, but that did not work either. Someone please tell me what happened!!

Is this how the restore goes?

2. You'll be asked twice to confirm
3. You'll see Apple logo and progress bar

14. Tap Continue (computer)
15. Restore iPad from Backup (computer)
16. See progress bar with estimated time (computer)

My Ipad mini keeps going through various applications all by itself and won't allow me to close them

My Ipad keeps going through my contacts, e-mail, ITunes, types by itself and will go through these apps over and over again. I can close them while in the process but just as I close them with the home button it starts right up again. I have tried closing all the open apps by double clicking the home button, which it will show the screen of all the apps but when I try to hold them down to delete them it doesn't respond. I have tried hard reset twice by holding the home button and the top button until the apple logo appears but this hasn't worked.
Diver

Hi Diver,
I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
Hope this helps!!

HT201401 My IPhone4 is in a coma. Will not reboot even when fully charged and using reboot techniques listed in forum. Any suggestions? I have some pics and contacts I need. I did not backup!

I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. I did not back up my IPhone4 - stupid on my part. It just quit the other day. It is in a coma. I have tried recharging and rebooting to no avail. My greatest concern are several pictures that I cannot replace. Is their an internal sim card that perhaps could be recovered. I need to return the phone to Verizon as they mailed me a replacement due to the fact that no one at the local Verizon store could awaken the phone. Please help if you have ANY suggestions! Of course, i will backup everything in the future - just hoping for a chance with these pics and contacts.

I ceaned the fan, the computer shuts down when I hit ENTER after logging in (again, i have a password set)
I did manage to do a a start-up repair w/out the comp shutting down half way through. This was in the detailed diagnosis and repair:
Root Cause Found:
Boot critical file d:\windows/system32\kdcom.dll is corrupt.
Repair action: File Repair
Result: Failed. Error Code= 0x490
Time Taken:5460ms
Repair Action: system restore
result: Completed successfully. Error Code= 0x0.
I also get a message::
Windows cannot repair this computer automatically.
If you have recently attached a device to this computer, such as a camera or portable music player, remove it and restart your computer. If you continue to see this message, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
**any of this help you??**
I appreciate your help!!
