Sync Hangs on Datebook (only)

I'm using (for many happy years) a Palm Zire synced only to the PalmDesktop (not to Outlook).
While on vacation, my Palm Zire ran out of battery and all information was lost. Upon recharging the battery, I tried to hotsync, but the hotsync hang on the datebook. I had to abnormally end the hotsyc operation and reset the handheld.
I then decided to HotSync each component separately (Address book, Notepad, etc.) All worked fine, except for the Datebook. It will only HotSynch about 200 items (all repeating appointments), and then stops (hangs). I thought this could be caused by infinite repeating appointments, but in the meanwhile, I've cleaned up everything on my desktop, but still, I cannot get the datebook to synchonize.
Would anyone know what is causing this anomoly to occur and how to fix it??

Adding info : after disabling the auto-sync, I was able to disable the calendar sync on this Iphone. Then the process for contacts, musics, movies, apps runs well.
Enabling the calendar sync again, it hangs .. again.
btw, I'm not using icloud but local sync.

  • Sync hangs at very end, after updating to 3.0

    After updating my 3G phone to v3.0, the backup and sync appear to proceed normally and then the sync hangs at the end. When it hangs, iTunes pegs the processors in my MacBook Pro. After waiting an hour the first time, I simply disconnected the USB cable without apparent ill effects; iTunes died down and my iPhone reverted to its non-syncing screen. I've done a restart of the phone (two buttons down for 10 secs until Apple logo appears) to no avail.
    I've, of course, been adding apps willy-nilly since getting the iPhone so this may be it, right?. Should I start stepping back on these until I find a culprit?

    This issue, to my knowledge, is known by Apple and should, from what I've read, be fixed (hopefully) in the 3.1 software. Given all of that, I'm not so sure why it's taken so long, unless, of course, Apple still hasn't figured out what's caused the issue. Try doing a search in the forums for this topic and you'll find you're certainly not the only one. Far, far from it.

  • How do we sync contacts and calendars (ONLY) between two iCloud accounts, two iPhones and one iMac with two user accounts?

    This is complex.  Until today we had one iMac with two user accounts - one for me and the other for my wife.  We sync'd our calendars and contacts between our two user accounts using my iCloud account, thereby keeping our schedules coordinated and our contacts information always the same between us.  Also, as I had an iPhone, I sync'd my phone with my iCloud account, thereby keeping the contacts and calendars in the two user accounts on the iMac AND my iPhone sync'd.  (I also sync'd other things, like Notes and Mail and Safari settings, between my iPhone and my user account on the iMac, but my wife did not want to be burdened with all my emails showing up in her email account and I wasn't interested in hers, etc., so we didn't sync anything between us other than calendars and contacts.)
    We've finally bought my wife an iPhone and set up an iCloud account for her.  And of course she now wants to sync several items from HER account on our iMac to HER iPhone, but I don't want them, just as she doesn't want all of my other stuff.  But we still want our mutual calendars and contacts to sync to HER new iPhone, just like they already do to mine.  But I can't figure out how to CHANGE her iMac user account from using MY iCloud account on the iMac to using HER new iCloud account, and then having HER iCloud account speak to MY iCloud account but share JUST our calendars and contacts.
    Originally I tried a workaround by simply having her iPhone log into my iCloud account.  That works great for the calendars and the contacts.  But...she can't sync anything else from her iMac account to her new iPhone because she's presently "forced" to use my iCloud account.  And neither of us want to sync our other things to each other's iMac accounts or iPhones.  Also as we're both using my iCloud account, in things like the Find My iPhone app, the Cloud is seeking two phones labeled with my name and none with her's.  So we definitely don't want this as the set-up and communications network between our devices.
    We want to set up our users on the iMac to sync to our SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT iCloud accounts and then have those iCloud accounts sync calendars and contacts (ONLY) between themselves, and then push that data to our separate iPhones (or the other way, from either of our iPhones to the individual accounts on our iMac and the other person's iPhone).  Does this description make sense to you?  I've diagramed it nicely using Keynote, but even thiough I can draw it, I can't figure out how to set up and configure all the devices to make it work.  If you would like me to send the Keynote slides (just two of them - the current and desired configurations - please send your email address to me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to forward it to you.
    If anyone can help me set this up I'd be most appreciative!  Thanks so much.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers in this community!

    I had the same problem, and decided to look into it last night.
    First of all, the solution I would like to have is for Apple to allow for selection of iCloud accounts per application, i.e. Contacts to one, Photo Stream to another. I believe this would be the most straight forward solution for the problem we are facing. 
    Since this is not an option I came up with a workaround. I was most interested in solving this for Contacts, so this is what I tested for. Now I have all 3 devices with the same contacts.
    1) Turn off iCloud for Contacts on all devices. On the device that has the Contacts list that you would like to propagate to all others select to keep the contacts, and on the others select not to keep them.
       Note that the current backups still exist on iCloud, so in case something goes wrong you can still turn the iCloud for Contacts back on to get your current Contacts back.
    2) In iTunes, sync All Contacts with the phones, starting with the one with the Contacts content you chose to keep.
    From this point on, the 3 devices should sync contacts with each other.
    This, of course, will stop your iCloud backups of Contacts, but I don't think this is really needed. You are already storing copies of your Conacts on 3 devices, which for good parts of the day are likely not all co-located. You also potentially have Time Machine backups turned on, which would mean there is a 4th copy there as well. For the case of Contacts iCloud only complicates matter ... that is until Apple implements the solution I first wrote about.

  • HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year.  Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one.  How can I correct this?

    Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted.  I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad.  How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

  • Entire Itunes library will not download to Ipod nano! All is checked and it says it synced but it will only put the few new purchased songs on my ipod.

    My son deleted the music from my Ipod.  I pulled up my Itunes on a new computer with windows 8 and pluged in the Ipod and my music reappeared.  However, I then purchased new music and the new music would not download.  I am not sure what I did but now the new music is on my ipod and all the old music is gone.  When I am in my itunes account all the songs are selected and when I hit sync it is still only syncing the newly purchased songs.  How can I get my entire library back on my ipod?

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

  • Why does my iPhone sync hang at 'backing up'?

    Why does my iPhone sync hang at 'backing up'?

    Did iTunes ever create a successful backup during a sync? If yes it should be listed there.
    Alternativly you can make sure that the iphone backup folder is empty and try again to sync. The folder is located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Started downloading CD's to iPod classic. Plenty of spacr left, but Ipod stopped syncing with my music/play list. Sync notification appears for only a few seconds then stops. Sync scroll bar on music/play list never scrolls. Any suggestions?

    Started downloading CD library to iPod. Plenty of space remaining, but it quit syncing with my music/play list. Sync notification appears for only a few seconds then stops. Sync scroll bar on music/play list never starts scrolling. Any suggestions?

    Which version of iTunes and which iPod Classic model are you using?
    Have you tried to Reset the iPod and download again?

    Device not showing in iTunes for 'Wi-Fi Sync' and 'Sync Now' on phone only works(appears dark) when plugged in via USB so kinda defeats object. Any ideas please?

    Had the same issue. Tried everything that was posted for troubleshooting bye apple and on the discussions.
    Finally, tried something that solved it and it works flawlessly now. I changed my wireless router.
    I was using my ISP's supplied ZyXEL PN660 ADLS2+ with Wireless N. Swtiched to an older Linksys WRT160N and it is working beautifully now.
    Take a look at your router, make sure the firmware is up to date, and that UPnP is enabled, and if all is correct, and you have done everything else, try another Wireless router if you can.

  • Sync hangs after upgrade to iTunes 9

    After upgrading to iTunes 9.1.0.79 from 8.xx last week I have been unable to sync Outlook contacts and Calendar - sync hangs and never completes.
    iPhone 3GS on 3.1.3
    (No other changes made to laptop at the time - direct issue with upgrade to iTunes 9)
    Spend 1:45 on phone with Apple Support last week - very helpful - but no fix, and frustrated. (Have case number) Removed all Apple Apps - reinstalled, looked for list of DLL's on my PC etc during the call.
    Any new ideas to resolve will be gratefully rec'd, or fix from Apple.
    Many Thanks.

    I have very similar symptoms after upgrade to iTunes 9.1. During sync of Calendars (or if Calendars disabled, during iPhone backup step), Outlook hangs & sync never completes. Outlook stays hung, and hangs again if I kill and restart, until I reboot. Hugely frustrating.

  • One Way Sync - OCS to PDA only

    Was wondering how I can accomplish one way sync to "PDA only" so that users cannot overwrite calendar on server.

    (1) Setting the replace all existing will wipe out my entire calendar of the phone and replace it with what is in Outlook.
    Correct.
    (2) By selecting "syncing" calendar events, will sync the events between Outlook and the iPhone.
    Correct.
    What happens about the events I have placed onto the phone (after that initial sync)? Won't they get synced to Outlook?
    Yes, which is the definition of syncing.
    I want the sync to always be one-way...only from Outlook to the iPhone.
    Not possible. If this is what you want, then don't sync calendar events or only enter calendar events with Outlook.
    Contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks (if selected to be synced with the supported applications on your computer) is a bidirectional or true sync process with the supported applications on your computer. There is no setting to transfer calendar events from the iPhone to the supported application on your computer only or vice-versa or to not be synchronized.

  • HT204150 I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help

    I deleted my duplicate contacts one by one on my iPad but have lost over 600 contacts on my iPad they are all on my iPhone but when I sync my iCloud I only have 200 contact on my iPad but have all 820 on my iPhone can any one help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
