Sync Contacts/Calender via USB

Hi,
where ist the possibility of contacts/calender sync via USB?
It is a cheekiness to delete this important function without giving the user the possibility to decide itself.
I won't use any Clouds for my personal data.
Please bring it back, otherwise I change to another system.

Couldn't agree more !!!

  • I can no longer sync my calendar via USB after updating to Mavericks.

    Updated to Mavericks, set up iCloud but itunes (11.1.5) will no longer sync calendars with my iphone.
    Worked fine under osx10.8 before the update.
    I phone is an old 3g running ios 3.1 (yeah, I know it's old) so I realize that wifi syncing will no longer work.
    I would like to be able to sync my calendar via USB. Otherwise, sycing music etc via cable still works fine.
    Please don't just suggest that I buy a new phone. I will soon. But in the meantime I would like to solve this problem as it has caused me trouble with missed meetings and conflicting timetables.

    Yes, there are many posts on it. It is no longer possible in Mavericks to locally sync Calanders and Contacts via USB. Nut there are plenty of alternatives beside iCloud.
    Here are some solutions.

    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud accounts presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

  • Versamail Exchange ActiveSync wireless push e-mail ONLY; Sync Contacts/Calendar via Desktop/USB

    I use a 3rd party conduit, PalmPilot Link for Commence RM CRM software from Commence Corp. which works with the Palm Desktop sync engine to sync my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos. Recently I tested VersaMail 3.5.5 on my Rogers Treo 680 (despite zero support from Rogers) with push e-mail and loved it until I discovered I could no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar with Commence. Even with the options in VersaMail to sync Contacts and the Calendar unchecked they would not sync via the USB cable to Commence.
    I have come across Palm Article ID: 42600 which states "Once you establish an Exchange ActiveSync account in VersaMail, you will not be able to sync Calendar, Contacts or Email through the USB HotSync cable". It would be nice if this wasn't the case when synching of Contacts and the Calendar are turned off. A call to technical support confirmed there is no way to do what I need with the current product version.
    I have found a competitive product, RoadSync from DataViz does allow me to sync ONLY e-mail with ActiveSync so it would seem to be technically possible.  The problem with RoadSync is it's not a true push e-mail on the Treo 680 as far as I can tell and it seems a little pricey with fewer features than VersaMail, except for one feature which is very important to anyone who depends on 3rd party conduits.
    Please consider releasing a new version or a patch to allow synching Contacts and the Calendar via USB while using Exchange ActiveSync push e-mail.
    Note: The Commence CRM product for Windows has been around for almost 20 years and has supported the Palm OS for about 10 years. Commence users everywhere would love this feature in VersaMail. I do not work for Commence Corp. but have been a user since 1991 and a Palm user since 1999.

  • Need to find a dual cord that powers my Ipod and syncs to PC via USB

    I'm looking for a dual cord that both will power my Ipod and connect via USB to my laptop. I have an older version of the Ipod and its battery is not strong enough to last a complete sync. Therefore I need to find this cord that has both the ability to power up my Ipod and to sync to the PC. I've seen it around, just can't find it anywhere online to purchase. Any ideas??

    You can get one from Amazon: USB/Firewire 1394 Y Cable for Apple iPod

  • IPod will not sync or charge via USB

    Hey all... new member here.
    I tried to sync/charge my iPod today, and I plug it in. Nothing happens. It just sits at the home screen, or as it does right now, dead without a battery charge. I have tried resetting, changing to disk mode, switching USB ports, and restarting the PC.
    Any idea on how I can fix this problem?

    hey tim,
    I have the exact same problem with my 5.5 gen iPod and am very frustrated. There are many discussions on this problem and it seems that it is pretty common with the older models of iPod.
    Some people say they have fixed it by downgrading their iTunes (if you recently updated to 7.4.__) and deleting the iTunes library file and replacing it with a older library.
    It seems that the lastest version of iTunes is causing the problem and I myself haven't been able to fix mine, but try some of these suggestions.

  • Verizon 755p; using Versamail; cant sync contacts & calendar

    I am having a sync conflict....
    I HAD been able to sync Contacts & Calendar via USB but once I started using Treo for emails, have been unable to sync ever since. Very frustrating. Hours upon hours trying to figure it out. 
    Went to advanced settings in Wireless Sync (to "Enable other sync apps") but still can't sync to Palm Desktop. I am using Versamail for my two gmail accounts. No need to use Wireless Sync..  Can I just delete WS? 
    Any suggestions please? 
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

    Hello tweetie and welcome to the Palm forums.
    Did you check the Verizon Wireless Sync software for settings that disable wired sync support?  I have a Sprint Treo and I can't test this out for you.  Other posters have reported similar issues and the Wireless Sync software settings are sometimes the cause for the inability to perform a wired sync of calendar and contacts.

  • IPhone 5 contacts local sync via usb doesn't work - updated

    Syncing an iPhone 5, AT&T 64GB, with Macbook Air 11" mid-2011, 1.8GHz / 4GB.
    OS X 10.10.2; iTunes 12.1.0.50; iOS 8.1.3.
    I am trying to sync my contacts from my OS X Contacts App to my iPhone 5 via USB. The contacts do not sync. The contacts are local, "on my mac". I am using a usb cable through iTunes.
    The iPhone 5 was just restored by Apple Configurator, set up as new iPhone, and is supervised by the MacBook Air.
    I am also synchronizing my local Calendars from the OS X Calendar app; these transfer just fine. This makes me think it is probably not to do with the entire setup of the iPhone, i.e. that it is managed by apple configurator, since some of the sync works correctly.
    Under "info" in the iTunes sync dialog, I have selected the "sync contacts" and "all contacts" and "sync calendars" and "all calendars" options.
    Interestingly, while the Calendars sync options displays options of "selected calendars" and a list of my calendars available to sync, the Contacts section "selected groups" is grayed out. I have one group in Contacts, and it does not show up by name for "selected groups". Instead, the area where groups should be listed for selection is empty. Perhaps iTunes does not have access to my local contacts? It is not listed under apps with access to my contacts under security and privacy, and it has not requested access to my contacts.
    I created a fake contact on the phone and synced it with iTunes. I then turned off contact syncing in iTunes and told it to remove previously synced contacts. The fake contact disappeared. When I turned contact syncing on again, the contact was again pushed to the phone. However, the fake contact did not appear at any point in the OS X Contacts App, and none of my OS X Contacts appeared on my phone -- only the fake contact I had created on my phone and then synced with iTunes.
    I also created a (different) fake contact in OS X Contacts. iTunes sync did not transfer this contact (or any others) from OS X Contacts to iPhone.
    SUMMARY:
    - syncing iPhone 5 via USB with iTunes
    - Calendar sync works
    - Contacts sync doesn't work
    - iTunes appears to have no communication with the OS X Contacts app; in system prefs > security and privacy > privacy > contacts, Pages and Word have access to Contacts, but iTunes is not listed. iTunes Contacts sync "selected groups" does not display my OS X Contacts group names.
    - Contacts created on iPhone sync back to iTunes and are restored back to the iPhone if deleted and resynced.
    - Contacts created on iPhone do not sync back to OS X Contacts; Contacts in OS X Contacts do not sync to iPhone.
    (apologies for premature posting to "Using iPhone"; I accidentally submitted and now can't delete or edit).

    Here's the resolution: I went to my local Apple store and spoke to the guy. After some discussion it turned out that one of the staff had had a similar problem. He suggested this course and I can report that it seems to work. So, (1) open your system preferences and then the print & fax setting and delete the printer in question (2) disconnect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (3) shut everything down and turn off power to your modem, your TimeCapsule and your whole system (4) power on each item in its normal sequence (5) wait for your iMac to complete its boot-up, (6) re-connect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (7) open system preferences and search for and install the relevant printer (8) try printing.
    This is hardly elegant, but it worked. I am told (by the same Apple store) that hitting the "reset" button in the TimeCapsule might also work. If this is intuitive or obvious to anyone else then my compliments to them ...
    Cheers

  • Contacts created on iPhone won't sync with exchange, only via USB

    When I create a new contact on my iPhone from within the phone app, it doesn't get synced to my exchange server, in fact it doesn't show up anywhere in the contacts app or under contacts in the phone app. If I create a new contact from the contacts app it only allows me to create it in my exchange contacts folder but it does sync properly. When I create a contact from within the phone app I am not given a choice of group at all and unless I have a recent call from that contact, it is nowhere to be found on my phone or computer. So the question is how do I get new contacts created on my phone from within the phone app to sync with exchange? The only way I have been able to sync contacts created within the phone app thus far has been with iTunes via USB which works fine but I want to sync contacts bidirectionally via exchange ota.
    Thanks for any help

    I have more information to share.
    When you launch the Contacts app on the iPhone, hit the "Groups" button in the top left. What I see on that page are these 3 sections:
    All Contacts >
    From My Mac
    All From My Mac >
    Group A >
    Group B >
    Group C >
    etc
    Foobar (Exchange)
    Foobar Global Address List >
    After many hours of trial and error, I have come to the understanding that the iPhone Contacts app has potentially multiple data stores which seem to correspond to each sync source configured (eg AddressBook, Exchange, etc.) Refering to my example above, I have enabled Contacts syncing with my AddressBook (via iTunes) and an Exchange mail account, so my iPhone shows 2 separate sections with the generic "All Contacts" appearing as the first section at the top.
    Entering the contact listings page via the "All Contacts" button will show an integrated list of contacts from all sync sources (in my case, two: contacts from AddressBook on my Mac and contacts from my Foobar Exchange account).
    If you click the "+" button to add a new contact when you have entered the listing page via "All Contacts", it seems the record is only stored on the iPhone and does NOT get sync'd. Specifically, it does not get synced to the Mac AddressBook nor to the Exchange account.
    However, if you have entered the listings page via any group in the "From My Mac" section or "Foobar (Exchange)" section, and create a new contact via the "+" button there, that contact DOES get sync'd to the appropriate sync source (AddressBook or Exchange in my case).
    Furthermore, if you enter the listings page via a specific group in the "From My Mac" section (eg "Group A") and create a new contact from in there, it will appear in "Group A" in AddressBook after sync. If you enter the listings page via the generic "All From My Mac" button, then the new contact will be added to whatever group you have specified in iTunes (under the iPhone Info tab etc. as mentioned in the prior post).
    All up, I guess, there may not be a bug here after all. I must simply always remember to add new contacts when I am in the "All From My Mac" section, if I want them to be synced to my Mac.
    However, I do think that it's a confusing and poor user experience (and may lead to loss of data) if you add new contacts from the generic "All Contacts" entry point, because they will NOT be synced as you'd expect them to. I am guessing this also might only happen when you have multiple sync sources defined, simply because the app doesn't know which sync source to associate them with: AddressBook or Exchange? But, at the point of adding that new contact, the app should prompt you for the sync source to use, or at least WARN you that your contact is going to be an orphan record solely residing forever more on your iPhone. If you ever reset your iPhone those contact records would be lost forever.

  • Pearl 8130 will no longer sync with Outlook 2007 or Entourage 2008 Calendar via USB

    I currently have the Pearl 8130 v4.5.0.77 running Desktop Manager v4.7 on my office computer (Windows XP) and Pocketmac on my home computer (iMac OS 10). I do not utilize the BES - all syncing is done via USB.
    I previously used the earlier version of DM and had no issues syncing all information between the BB, iMac, and XP machines.  Now I can no longer sync any of my Calendar information - one-way or two-way - to or from the BB to either computer.  My, tasks, contacts/address book all sync without issue. 
    I've read through the various threads in this forum (and other online forums) and tried the various fixes with no success.  Any help is much appreciated.  The calendar sync is critical otherwise my Pearl could be cast to swine.

    I had the same problem.  I found this answer in the Solution Center and it worked.  I found that after adding Facebook to my BB it had changed the default calendar.  This Resolution fixed it!  
    Resolution 1
    To resolve this issue, change the default calendar service book by completing the following steps:
    From the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, click Options > Advanced Options > Default Services.
    Change the value of the Calendar (CICAL) field to the desired calendar service book.
    Save the changes and synchronize again.
    Resolution 2
    Upgrade to BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0.97 or later.  For instructions, see KB03901.

  • Can I sync Mail via USB with my PowerBook?

    I have a new iPhone 4S and a PowerBook G4 17" with 2 GB of RAM that is in mint condition.  I understand that I won't get e-mail from a Mail account directly on my PowerBook once I convert from MobileMe to iCloud, unless Apple or a third party develops an "app for that".  No way do I want to buy a whole new Mac just for iCloud.  Given the ability to sync music and photos between iPhone and PowerBook right now via the USB cord for my iPhone, can I also sync my Mail via USB if I upgrade to iCloud on my iPhone?

    You may sync your mac with iPhone via iTunes, as always with iPhones, check whether version is compatible with last iOS. Then your iPhone may sync with iCloud. I still have a 12 in PB made in 2004, it works fine with my iPhone, just it is older, the first iPhone on the market, it sill works fine, no need to replace it.
    Before testing anything, backyp your data, just in case you make a mistake, always do that.

  • Syncing some songs onto iPhone hard drive via USB, but streaming the rest via iCloud?

    Hi,
    I have a lot of music, well over 50 GB. I have iCloud and iTunes Match. I recently got a 32GB iPhone 5. I was under the impression that I could sync some of my music library onto my iPhone via USB from my mac, but then still be able to access the rest of my songs via iCloud?
    1. I live out in the country where cell service and/or Wifi is not always available.
    2. I would like to have the songs I listen to most on my iPhone's hard drive, so I don't have to waste my data to stream them. However, if there's an artist that I don't listen to very often and is not on my hard drive, I would still like to be able to pull them up and stream them via iCloud.
    When I had iTunes Match turned on on my iPhone, I would press Sync on iTunes and nothing would happen. I could access all of my music on my iPhone, but none of it was actually on the hard drive, it was all just streaming from iCloud. Searching around online and on these forums, I found that the only way to actually put music onto the iPhone's hard drive is to turn iTunes Match off. However, I also read that if you turn it back on after, it will just erase your previous library?
    It seems there should be a way to do this? I can't be the only person with too many songs to fit on the iPhone that doesn't want to pay to stream every song?
    I have also heard a lot of bad things about syncing via Wifi, and that it will eat up your data plan. I would like to be able to sync my songs via USB, but then still access the rest of my library via iCloud.
    Please let me know if this is possible. Any assistance is appreciated.

    You should be seeing something like this:

  • Sync contacts via iTunes with no cloud impossible!? *** Apple?

    Hey Apple,
    are you serious? You force your customers to upload contact information into the cloud by deleting the option to sync contact information via wire from Mac to iPhone? Well, I don't really know whether you guys do not read any news but this is the very wrong time for that.
    Who do you think you are forcing us to spread private information onto your server and the server of your big friends from the NSA?
    I am seriously disappointed...Now I either stay away from 10.9 until some guy releases a software that fixes this lack. great. what's next? will you still let me install programs I choose or do I have to get them from the mac app store? oh and yeah, I do buy CDs if you don't mind, I do not want to download them from iTunes, sorry. Would you still let me listen to them on my Mac?
    If this is the way we are all going...you can walk that way without me. I have owned a macbook, an iMac, 2 iPads, 3 iPhones and two iPods in the last 6 years...maybe it's time for a change...if that is the only way of showing you that I am a free person.
    think about it.

  • Synchronization fails @ end of sync cycle sonyE w800 usb & bluetooth HELP!

    I have tried everything I know to sort this problem . The phone still works fine for file transfer via bluetooth or usb i.e photos or mp3 etc . and there is no other problem with the phone .
    I have made a master reset of the phone and deleted and rerergistered the phone as a bluetooth and bluetooth device several times .This also works fine Everything appears normal but isync fails . the problem first started about a week ago perhaps after a crash . I have also attempted to sync the phone via usb and receive the exact same error which leads me to think the problem is with isync rather than any of the protocols .
    I deleted the isync and bluetooth prefs but didn't make any difference .
    when I try to syncronize the phone , via isync , it runs fine but right at the end of the sync it returns the error" An unexpected error occured.
    Device "W800i:-)" synchronization failed" . this is with usb or bluetooth synchronization .
    opening console I can see the following type of dialogue over and over " 14:15:02.498 [iSync:2471] ERROR (.sync.SyncConduitManager): Exception catch: [ISyncConcreteSession clientRefusedChangesForRecordWithIdentifier:]: I know nothing about a record with identifier A6DF4542-842F-462C-B8CF-9EDA75DFF821. Are you sure you got it from this session or from the session's snapshot? If so, perhaps it has been deleted?
    2007-01-28 14:15:03.682 iSync[2471] we receive the end of our sync plan".
    This doesn't mean much to me but maybe can help someone help me .
    btw the sE gives me the error message "session failed/communication interuptted" .
    any help appreciated .

    Have you tried resetting the iSync history in iSync prefs?
    Or syncing just contacts, or just calendars, to see if one will allow a full sync.
    Or syncing just a small group of contacts.
    There may be some corrupted data in either Address Book or iCal that is tripping iSync up.
