Sync doesn't complete (Contacts)

I have my iTunes set to sync with "Google Contacts". When I initially set it up, I told iTunes to merge the two, which was fine.
I logged onto my Gmail, did some manually cleaning & getting rid of random E-mail addresses that had mysteriously appeared into my contact list. Resync'd and something still was still off.
low & behold, it turns out not ALL of my contacts will transfer from my iPhone to Gmail Contacts. Is there anything I can do so I won't have to manually do this on Google contacts myself? Is this a bug?

My iPhone 4 is also turning itself on and off, so I think the solution is to replace it with an iPhone 6.

ITunes to iPad 2 Music Sync Doesn't Completely Sync All Music

I've just updates my iTunes to 11.1.4 and iOS to 7.0.4.
Now I attempted to sync all my music and books from my Macbook OSX 10.8.5 to my iPad 2.
The books sync works perfectly. However, when I try to sync the music, only first song of each album are synced while the rest are not.
When I eject and reconnect the iPad, all the song are detected on the "On My iPad" tab, however the song don't appear on the iPad.
On the HD usage bar below, the unlisted songs are written as "Others", not as "Audio".
Anyone has idea what happened, and how to fix it? I've try restoring my iPad to erase all data, but the same issue happened over and over again each time I synced them.

I've figured out the main problem.
When I try to sync my iPad with iTunes, at some point usually it automatically cancels the sync.
I've tried to unselect the song from syncing with manual sync, but it still automatically cancels.
I've also tried unchecked and rechecked the Sync Music checkbox but the problem still presist.
Please, anyone can help me? Cause I need my iPad to be able to be synced with my iTunes.

Sync doesn't completely transfer browsing history information

Here's some context of the question. I'm the developer of [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fromwheretowhere/ FromWhereToWhere] , an addon that can display browsing history in Firefox in threaded view, which takes advantage of the part of stored history in Firefox that tells which page you visit one page from. For example, often people visit some page from the search result page of some search engines. I find this 'from-to' record a very important part of the browsing history.
I just tested with Sync between FF 7.0.1 on desktop Ubuntu and Fennec 4.0.1 on Windows. It seems the 'from-to' information is stripped from the history that I sent to the server, as the 'from_visit' field of the table 'moz_historyvisits' in the file places.sqlite in the profile of Fennec is 0 for all the history I sync-ed from Ubuntu.
I wonder if this is designed that only flat history is stored in Sync. I can see the difficulty in keeping the 'from-to' information, as the 'id' and 'place_id' in multiple history databases can overlap, and some extra work is needed to keep the merged data consistent. Still I wonder if Sync will make improvements about this in the near future.

I will recommend you to post your suggestion into the developers mailing list [email protected] where the audience is more technical and you can get better insights from the developer team.

Mobile account doesn't complete initial creation and sync process

I'm trying to setup a mobile account for a network account but it won't complete the sync process on the client MacBook Pro. Both the server and the MacBook Pro are running 10.5.5.
When I login to client it prompts me to create a Mobile account and proceeds with the sync to create the account, but when the sync is complete it just logs in with the default account setup. None of the user files or settings (desktop image, preferences, etc) appear. The sync process says "Checking..." for all the files that supposedly get copied to the client, but it looks like it doesn't complete.
Is there a way of knowing what the problem is? Is there an issue with the user's home directory, some file that prevents the sync and mobile home creation from completing?
Thanks.

I solved this myself. The user ended up have a folder on his desktop that contained a backup home folder from an old powerbook that he was trying to save. It was a complete home folder, Documents, Library, etc and I thought it might be interfering with the sync of the normal home folder. So I created a folder called Bad Stuff in the home folder and copied the old powerbook home folder into it. Then opened up the Sync Settings and excluded the Bad Stuff folder from the sync. And it worked, the sync when fine and is resyncing fine.
Hope that helps with other people with a similar problem.

Help me please..I lost all my contacts when i sync. it with google contacts ..they completely gone from iphone and my gmail account ..how can i get them back? please help

Its a easy fix,it will take too much time to type out all of the steps,
Check your email account. see if they are their, You can then import them on your DAV card, The best thing to is add them to icoud then they will be safe.
Apple support can talk you through it.

Mobile account won't complete setup, initial sync won't complete.

Thanks.

Forgot about getting this problem solved.
The user account that had this trouble had a copy of his home directory from a laptop in his home directory. This backup had it's own Library folder which was confusing the Mobile account sync process.
When I removed the backup home directory, the initial sync went fine.

I've got Blackberry Link installed, but I can't get my BB to sync with my Outlook contacts

I've got Outlook 2010 installed on my laptop.
Blackberry link appears to have installed properly.
When I try to sync my Q5 with Outlook I don't get any error messages, but after the process is completed I check Outlook and none of the contacts have sync'd from my phone to Outlook (but it has successfully sync'd the existing contacts from Outlook to my phone).
Edit: should probably mention that my email address is a gmail account, and most of the contacts in my BB are being pulled from my gmail contacts. Does that make a difference?

Not sure if the above link will help, worth a look.

Syncing custom labels within contacts

On my iPhone, I have quite a few contacts with multiple cell phones, and I have created a lot of customer labels. I've also added notes, dates, etc. When I sync to Outlook, it only syncs the first customer label (as "other"), but none of the rest. And it doesn't sync my additional fields. At one time, I lost all my contacts on my phone, and when I resynced from Outlook, all of this info was missing.
Is there a way to get this info to sync to Outlook? Otherwise, is there another application I can use to sync all of my contact info?
Thanks.

Custom Labels are not Alphabetical.
Same problem with my os7 update, and This is a huge hassle, I re-use labels constantly as I travel for work and
I have hundreds of labels in my contacts.
This is a mess.
The only Good thing I can say is that the 'new' custom label field is finally at the Top of the list of labels.
It used to be at the bottom, meaning I had to scroll thru many many labels to add a new custom label.
So they fixed the tiny little problem and gave us a Massive new problem.
Appple, Please Fix This ASAP.

How do i sync Outlook for Mac contacts with apples address book ???

How do I sync outlook for Mac 2011 contacts with Address book. I updated the itunes or apple updates and it erased my contacts from the address book. I did have is set up where the they automaticaly updated back and forth but now I can not find how to check this. Bottom line I want my contacts back to address book. ??????? anyone.

Outlook for Mac doesn't support contact (or calendar) syncing with iCloud because Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV (and CalDAV) protocals that are required (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915). You'll have to use the OS X Address Book (Contacts) app to sync with iCloud.

ITunes sync doesn't recognize changed groupes in Address Book

iTunes sync doesn't recognize changed groupes in Address Book. What to do?
I've cleared All Contacts on the iPad2 so it is blank now. I want to sync just a particular new group which is the combination of two former groupes which didn't sync correctly.

To be more clear (in hopes you can get it to work!) :
Under Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
1. Be sure to CHECK the box that says autocomplete addresses under the Addressing heading.
2. Quit Mail and restart.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest quitting Mail and trashing the Preference file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist). Then restart Mail and make sure the box is checked as above and restart Mail. Note that all preferences will be reset to the default and you may need to reconfigure Mail the way you like it. You can always drag the plist file back and restart Mail.app to restore your previous settings.

How do I sync my Calendar and Contacts with my Mac ?

How do I sync my Calendar and Contacts between my iPhone4 and my Mac ? It did until January. Now in iTunes the check box for syncing them is not present anymore. Instead I see the text "Your contacts are being synced over the air" (which doesn't happen). Exactly the same occurs w.r.t. Calendar. I do not understand why synchronisation was ok until January, but suddenly it doesn't work anymore.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone. I have checked all the settings and all seems correct. It simply won't pull in all of the contacts. Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

Syncing Blackberry with ACT contacts and Calendar and Email through BES

I have had the hardest time setting up a blackberry for a user. It is the storm or bold 9800
we purchased companionlink and I was able to get the BES configured so it doesn't sync the calendar or contacts just email. On the Companionlink I have had issues were it doesn't sync the calendar or duplicates in the blackberry.
I have talked with support at companionlink and they tell me to select wipe the data on the BB and resync, that process takes forever. So my only option is to wipe everything clean and get one good sync but I can keep doing this for the user everytime.
IS there any troubleshooting methods I can use right now to get rid of the duplicates in the phone?
Or another program worth trying out?

There are two options that I know of.
First, you can try bluetooth syncing so you don't have to plug the BB in http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB04132&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Second, and the one I use, is the Google Desktop sync. http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955 This will only sync calendar; not contacts. I sync 1-way from my Outlook to Google Calendar then use the normal Google Sync to get it all on my Blackberry.

My iTunes only syncs my calendar and contacts on the second sync, why?

When I sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts with iTunes, I noticed the first sync does the backup but doesn't sync the calendar and contacts. I need to click sync a second time and then it syncs my calendar and contacts. How do I set it up where it syncs everything including cal/contacts on the first sync?
Second Question: From when I had MM, I noticed it shows Work, Home, and Calendar under my Calendar. I want to consolidate and only have Calendar. Is there a way to consolidate all 3 and delete Home and Work?
