Sync Inconsistencies

Hi there.
I have upgraded to Leopard 2 weeks ago. I have used the upgrade possibility (not the archive and install one). Since then, I am experiencing problems with syncing. Once or twice an hour I get a message "Database alert: Inconsistencies in sync information, next sycn for ... will take longer than usual). My iphone is not syncing the contacts and the calendar. My spanning sync software to sync iCal and gCal is not working as well.
Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
Uzi.

iphone syncs via itunes with the computer it is connected with, in your case with your macbook pro running 10.5.1 I assume.
maybe you should upgrade to 10.4.11.
hope this helps

IPhoto Photo Syncing Inconsistencies

I just got my iPhone and I've been playing around with syncing photos from iPhoto. My iPhoto library has about 7000 photos ranging in all sizes. I have found some issues with iPhoto syncing. I'm selecting albums, syncing them and noting the results on the iPhone.
I have several web gallery albums. When I select one of them and sync there are two albums in the iPhone. One is Photo Library and the other is the album. They both have the same photos. I read on these forums that iTunes will send an aggregate album down that has all the photos of all albums downloaded. Makes sense but if there are inconsistencies;
If I sync one web gallery album a corresponding Photo Library is created. Duplicate photos of the web gallery album but if I chose one regular album to sync then the Photo Library is not created. i
If I select two regular albums then I get the Photo Library which is the aggregate of both albums. This makes sense
I'm also see thumbnail issues on the album page. I have wrong photos allocated to an album. The photo existed from a previous album and is not a photo of the current album.
Sometimes an album thumbnail is not showing adjacent the album name after the sync.
I'm a little disappointed in this basic functionality not working.
I'll try rebuilding my iPhoto database.
Anyone else seeing issues like this?

It appears what is happening to me is the thumbnail sometimes not built right after the sync. I have to navigate away from the Photo area and then come back and then the thumbnail is showing up and is a thumbnail of the first photo.

Calendars and contacts won't sync: "Inconsistencies"

I've seen several other topics with similar, but not exactly the same problem as me. Can't figure it out.
I've had an iphone 3g since July, with a MacBook Pro on OS X 10.5.6. No previous problems with syncing at all. A month or so ago, I turned off automatic sync for the phone in itunes preferences, and because I havn't needed to sync anything since then, no syncs have been attempted. Recently I added some new Calendar events on the laptop (without the phone plugged in), and immediately after each event, the "inconsistencies in your sync information for ical were detected and repaired" notice popped up, and I pressed OK.
Next time I plugged in my iPhone, I turned auto-sync back on, then ran a sync, and the inconsistency notice popped up for contancts, ical, and bookmarks, none of which synced at all. Also, in the "info" tab of the iPhone page in iTunes, no calendars, contact groups, or email accounts are listed. It seems to me iTunes or the iPhone thinks there's nothing to sync to. This happens every single time I sync.
Note that I DO NOT USE MOBILEME OR .MAC, and never have. I've reset my sync history in iSync, which didn't seem to help.

I'm assuming you mean the "replace information on iphone" options. I tried this, but it didn't work. iTunes isn't even registering any contacts or calendars; in the info pane it doesn't list any of them. So it has nothing to replace the iPhone info with. I think I basically need a way for the iPhone or iTunes to "remember" what's on the computer.

"Inconsistencies in your sync information for Contacts..." HELP!

Hello helpful smart people!
I can't sync Contacts on my iMac in my kitchen with my office MacPro. I am running OS 10.4.11 on both computers. I keep getting this message: "Inconsistencies in your sync information for Contacts were detected and have been repaired". But Contacts are still not being synced on my kitchen iMac. I have checked my .Mac account and see all the correct info in the Contacts folder - which matches my office MacPro. I have both Unregistered, and Reset Sync Data on the Kitchen iMac and asked that all Sync Info be replaced on the Kitchen iMac with Sync info from .Mac. Can anyone figure this out? Thanks very much for any help you can lend. -Scott

This is the iSync forum. iSync is for syncing to non-Apple mobile phones only, not to other Macs.
Try asking in the *MobileMe Sync* forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957

"inconsistencies in your sync information"

I keep getting this message: "inconsistencies in your sync information..." prevent syncing with iCal. How do I resolve it?

There isn't any software to change as such. It only shows "MobileMe" instead of ".Mac" of you're running Mac OS X 10.5.x
However, if you're not actually using iSync to sync a third-party (non-Apple) mobile phone (that's all iSync does - it doesn't sync between Macs, with MobileMe or to the iPod touch) then you're more likely to find an answer to your query in one of the following forums:
MobileMe on iPhone and iPod Touch > MobileMe Sync
MobileMe on my Mac > MobileMe Sync

Inconsistencies in your sync information for contacts where detected and have been repaired
i got this massage all time when try syncing i made reset sync data and didnt work i tried to fix this with unregistered my mac and register it again also not working, can any one help please?
i got a website synced and iphone + macbook pro also synced

You appear to be referring to *MobileMe Sync* and not iSync (which is only for syncing to non-Apple mobile phones).
The *MobileMe Sync* forum is here:

Can't get rid of "Inconsistencies in your sync information ...."

This pop-up message keeps appearing every few minutes on my MBP ... no matter how often I Sync. I use to get it a few times a day with my 3G, but now that I have a 3GS, I'm getting it every few minutes ... since also buying and setting up MobileMe.
This is really irritating ?!
How do I take care of this situation?

No, as I said, it's gone from a few times a day with my 3G and no MobileME to every few minutes with the 3GS and MobileMe. It's gotten worse since setting up MobileMe, ie. it was there with the 3GS and got worse when I started up MobileMe. I've gone through all of the settings ... I think ... but it's still happening even though one would think it would go away after syncing

Calendar and Outlook sync issues and inconsistencies

Hello,
These issues have existed since my first iPhone (3GS) and Outlook 2007, and they continue today with my 5S and Outlook 2010:
1. When I add an appointment on my iPhone calendar, after I sync with my PC the appointment in my Outlook calendar has a 99 day alarm and is marked as private. I do not set either of these attributes when creating the appointment on my iPhone calendar.
2. Some all-day appointments that I create in Outlook show as 12am to 12am across two days on my iPhone calendar.
3. Some all-day appointments that I create in Outlook show as No Time on the iPhone, others show as the entire day.
4. After syncing through iTunes, some iPhone calendar items that have specific times get moved to the no time area in Outlook.
5. Notes for calendar appointments lose their formatting when I edit and update the note on my iPhone.
Looking for resolutions to the above annoyances.
Thank you,
Jeff

There was a setting I hadn't found in the PC Companion software:
On the start sync page there is a settings heading next to a spanner on the righthand side - this takes you to sync settings
Select Personal Data Selection and then the properties button for Calendar
You can then set the sync to select all your appointments or a subset.
I hope that this helps someone - it has taken hours to find this setting!

Game center ios7 problems (achievements out of sync)

There are many serious bugs in Game Center for iOS7. None of the deficiencies of GC on iOS6 were addressed, and new crashes, hangs, and other bugs were added. It's as if Apple couldn't care less that games are the single biggest category of apps selling all those iPads and other iOS devices. But for this post, I will focus on one issue in particular.
Game Center reports inconsistent achievements across my many iOS + Mac devices. When I win an achievement once, I expect and demand that GC actually credit me for it permanently. In many instances, the achievement shows in GC on the device where I won the achievement, but it does not show on GC on any other device or computer. Note that I'm NOT talking about viewing achievements within a given application, I'm just talking about GC itself. This is NOT a problem of an individual game, it is a problem with the GC architecture. When I see a GC notification pop up that I've won an achievement, I expect that achievement to actually show in GC, both on the current device, and on every other device.
This is not a problem with replication lag. I've tried waiting for days to see achievements appear across devices -- they don't. I've tried force quitting GC and every game on the system, then re-launching GC, only to see exactly what I saw before -- different scores on different devices.
There are even inconsistencies on a single device. Different screens within GC show different scores. Some of these problems resolve themselves over time, as if different parts of the GC app rely on different caches, and those caches refresh on different schedules. I can forgive some replication lag, provided everything eventually replicates everywhere. But sometimes, the discrepancies never go away, and GC permanently reports results that don't make sense. Looking on the achievements page for a single game, I often a set of achievements and a total achievement score which just plain don't match, days after having won the achievements in question.
This is also not caused by offline achievements. GC is so abysmally poor at handling offline achievements that it deserves its own post, and I won't go into the details further here, other than to say that I no longer play GC games while offline. My device of choice is a wifi iPad (the last model with the large cable connector, updated to run iOS 7.0.2), and I always make sure I'm connected to wifi before playing any GC games. And by making sure I'm connected to wifi, I mean positively confirming that I can reach the web and check email before launching my game. Despite ensuring that I'm always online when I play, achievements still do not replicate.
This is also not caused by game bugs. Apple made a terrible design decision to not treat achievements like gold -- or even to treat them as important as email. Email is never lost. Achievements are frequently dropped. A game should not need to be implemented to re-register achievements, even if they were won offline. In any case, the point is, this bug has nothing to do with any individual game. I can fire up multiple iOS + Mac devices and see different scores within the GC apps.
My question is, how do I fix this? I can find no way to force game center to resync with the master achievements database in the cloud. I can't even find a way to send feedback directly to the GC team, or open a support topic directly about GC. (I would be extremely surprised if Garage Band were more popular than Game Center. Yet Garage Band has a dedicated support section, whereas the word "game" doesn't even appear anywhere on Apple's support communities topic list.)
Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh my god.
I have the same issue and im about to leave IOS and go Android.
Im a huge gamer on the iPhone and got 19k+ achivement.
When IOS 7 came the GC have not been working correctly ever sence.
I have a huge OCD with achievements and need the achievements synced with GC.
For every 7.0.X update im SURE there will be a fix for this but nothing.
I am very dissapointed.

Dev and Prod Environment Sync.

Hello Experts,
I would like to ask for your kind help in the following matter: How to resynch the dev and production environments.
For some (inextricable) reason, the production and development servers are out of sync. Mainly the SLD content is in different versions. The production one is older. Oh and there is no QA environment.
Besides that the business systems were created manually in each server and have inconsistencies. No SLD information was transported between them, only the repository and some directory information. Other directory information was created in the production environment directly. And I am affraid some development took place in production server directly too.
So I have been asked to produce a plan to get all this mess into shape. So far at a macro level I have these tasks planned:
10.- Backup prod and dev servers.
20.- Load latest CIM model and CR content on both servers (and see what happens).
30.- Connect the SAP systems as SLD data sources to prod SLD.
40.- Redo configuration in prod to point to automatically created business systems (and retest).
50.- Cleanup of manually created business systems the prod environment.
60.- Config the prod SLD as data source for dev SLD.
70.- Redo configuration in dev server to make it match prod SLD.
80.- Cleanup of manually created business systems the dev environment.
90.- Create in the dev server the repository objects that were directly created in prod.
100.- Test everything for consistency.
Please help me improve the task list/order.
-Sam.

Hi Sam
You are planning a lot of activity on a production environment. Two coments:
1. When you have your dev SLD configured as you require, with CIM, PI Content & Business Systems updated etc .. perhaps you should do a level of regression testing on this environment before embarking on changing the Live env.
2. Once you are happy that the Dev env It is possible to Export and import manually the SLD content from the Dev to the Live to align both systems, refer to link:
https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000315022005E.PDF
This is available through the Export Link in Administration page.

Contacts and calendar won't sync to iphone

So I just updated to 2.1, and then let the iphone sync. I noticed that changes that I made on iCal were not syncing to my iPhone, so I checked the boxes at the bottom of the info scree that said "replace information" for contacts and calendar. All of my contacts and calendars then disappeared from my iPhone, and I was flashed the "inconsistencies in your sync..." message. I had seen this message a couple days ago when I edited somethings on iCal but I didn't think anything of it.
So with no contacts or calendars I tried resyncing to no avail. I have restored the iPhone twice and still I get that dialogue box, and no contacts or calendar events synched to my iPhone.
Please help me...I don't know why this is happening.

yup, tried that to no avail. I made a new user account and the syncing works fine on that account but still doesn't work on my original account. Its not an iphone issue, but a user issue. I've been on the phone with apple care and they have no idea right now how to fix this. I will update if anything gets fixed. All help is welcome...thanks.

IPhone 4s does not sync purchased items' play count?

I recently bought a new album using my iPhone, and subsequently synced.
Now, looking at my recently played, I can see items I've played over the last several days, but not this album.
I really want this album to sync play counts as I really like having play counts.
As an iPhone user since the beginning, I'm really starting to get fed up with these silly little inconsistencies.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem, or know how to resolve it?
Would it work to delete from one and sync to the other? If so, which way?
Suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Okay, so, a few minutes after posting this, I gave up and decided to try something.
I deleted the files from my WIndows PC (which I am now using for the main syncing machine).
I then synced the phone to remove them. I subsequently added them back in, and synced them again.
Presto, play counts syncing.
I have a feeling that when I downloaded from iTunes on the computer, and the phone seperately, somehow iTunes didn't consider the iCloud/iTunes songs as the same, and must have been treating them as separate files, rather than the same.
Now that I've added these "new" files in, it considers them to be the originals I guess!

Nokia e72, gmail setup + syncing contacts and cale...

My objective was to
1) get my contacts into the phone from this account, as I had on my old windows mobile device
2) set up my gmail account on my new nokia e72
1) getting contacts from gmail into the phone.
Go here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
and carefully do whatever is instructed.
*This works for calendar also (I assume you will want your google calendar to come into the phone, and sync thereafter. But all-day entries on google become 24 hour entries, modified by your timezone (eg xyz birthday, 15 mar 2010 5.00 am to 16 mar 2010 5.00 am). Otherwise the calendars seem to sync ok therafter (didn't spend much time there).
*This does not work for tasks. (read the google sync instructions carefully for nokia. but not for tasks, or for email bodies (though email headers sync, and you can probably create and send, and delete etc your email on the phone)
*This does not work email either, ie you can see the message headers, but can't see the bodies of emails on the phone.
The explanation for this I found after much digging is that Mail for Exchange on Nokia is actually meant for Microsoft ActiveSync servers, and Google is providing limited sync facilities using this ....system. (correct me if I'm wrong). See the datasheets on Nokia Europe websites about Mail for Exchange.
Over all, a pity, but you can't blame Nokia. As for Google (in whose hands further improvement lies for MFE playing nice with google mail), I hope, and believe they will make things better here (unless they lose their interest in it like they did with google gears).
2)Now getting your email from gmail into your nokia E72: Here Nokia is at fault, and a serious deficiency. I went to email setup in the menu's and started the wizard to create a new account. It seemed to have preconfigured setups for common email providers like gmail, yahoo etc. I started the gmail set up wizard, keyed in my username and password, then waited 5 seconds, and the screen went back to the previous one. This kept repeating, every time I tried. Tried everything: checked internet connectivity (wifi), closed all other apps including the MFE I had set up earlier, switched off and on the phone, everything short of standing on my head. So what works? How do you set up a personal gmail account on your nokia e72? go here:
http://www.techniqx.com/2010/02/workaround-for-configuring-gmail.html
(I paste that text here in case that page is removed:
"The email software in Nokia E72 still has lots of bugs. To configure your Gmail account, it’s not as easy as selecting Gmail and entering the credentials. That simply won’t work as there is a bug. Instead, workaround is to select “Other” and enter a false id like [email protected], this will take you to the next page to select the type. Select “POP/IMAP”. Now, you will get an option to enter your credentials and modify advanced settings. Here change your email id back to [email protected] and enter the credentials as mentioned here> (the gmail site for imap manual setup):
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
And you have gmail set up. Quite inelegant process of setting up gmail on this nokia phone, I would say.
Nokia, please iron out the bugs and inconsistencies in your flagship models' primary functions. Otherwise the phone functions very well, the interface is nice and attractive. And while the bugs are still there, please put up the limitations and the workarounds if any prominently. Nobody expects 100 % perfection.

I had a number of problems setting up Google Apps with my E72 phone. Mail, Calendar and Tasks were not syncing.
Mail
I have spent far too long setting up google apps to sync properly with my new E72 (latest software installed). It really is a superb phone but if Nokia is not going to fully support integration with Google Apps with a simple app then Android and Blackberry will simply take over for Apps users. It really isn't up to Google to solve this its up to Nokia. Are we going to move from Google Apps or change our phones????
I have gmail and business google apps accounts and both are now syncing properly with what seems to be pretty good Nokia email software on the phone. This is allowing me to receive, send, view attachments, view sent mail etc. Here are the steps I took from the beginning. Its a repeat of some of the good advice above which helped me on my long journey!
1. Enable IMAP for the google accounts. Couldn't get anything to work otherwise.
2. Follow this instruction https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78887
3. The inbox should now be working however you now need to map the other folders you want to see on your mobile. While at your inbox go to >settings>mailbox settings>what to sync>folder subscriptions.
4. Click on Gmail and highlight the folders you want to see
5. Go back to your inbox and go to the dragdown list of folders and highlight 'More Folders'. Under 'Gmail' you will find your sent items along with attachments etc. Problem solved. Its not a pretty solution but at this stage like me you just want something that works.
Calendar
This was a nightmare and I am now running a third party app called Googasync which is working fine. In 10 days time I will need to buy this so if someone knows how to setup calendar syncing properly without it please let me know.
Tasks
Googasync will not sync Tasks and I don't know if there is any app out there that will. If someone can help please let me know. Surely this should be pretty simple!?!?!
By the way I mailed Nokia support last Thursday on the above but have not received a reply other than to tell me that Google Apps is 3rd party software and not supported. Nokia needs to wise up.
In summary its a great phone and I've moved from a Blackerry Bold to it but I shouldn't be spending days finding workarounds!!

I'm unable to sync my ios 5 ipod,

i get an error message saying: the ipod 'name' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.
any ideas?

Since the Surface Pro 3 is effectively a standard Windows 8.1 system with a "tablet" form factor it should be fine (I don't have one - yet - but I know people who are using the Pro 3 with iTunes/iPods without problems).
You may be encountering an issue that occurs with the last two releases of iTunes - 12.1.0.71 and 12.1.1.4 are (unlike previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes) full 64-bit applications - prior to 12.1 most "64-bit" versions were actually 32-bit applications with a 64-bit installer. Many users have encountered issues with the 64-bit version of 12.1 - less so with 12.1.1.4, but it appears that there are some remaining incompatibilities/inconsistencies with some 64-bit Windows systems. Even though I've not seen this reported specifically for the Surface Pro 3, it may be worth trying this alternative installer: iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards). The "for older video cards" label is a little misleading, since although this does resolve a video compatibility issue that iTunes detects when first run it is actually the same architecture as pre-12.1 releases (32-bit applications with a 64-bit installer).
You don't say that you've actually had sync problems or are just concerned that you might ... if the former, posting back more details of symptoms may be useful. For example, if you connect your iPod does it show up in iTunes? If not, there may be specific resolutions that could work rather than using the "for older video cards" version - see iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

How to Sync pictures from AD for users in Outlook Contacts?

Hi we recently enabled adding profile pictures to AD from sharepoint. This works fine, the attribute shows in AD and the pictures show in Lync. Now in Outlook there are soem inconsistencies. I am are running
Outlook 2010 windows 7 64 bit. The user pictures from the Global Address List show up fine in the people pane, however for users that I have a local outlook Contact created for the pictures do not show in the "people pane",
or the outlook "contact". however the picture DOES show up in the outlook "Contact card". If I click update on the outlook contact I get a message "no changes were found for this contact".
If I delete the local contact and re-add them the picture is there. I don't think the solution is to delete and re-add contacts, as the reason to have the local contact is generally because we have added info that is not in GAL.
Any way to force the sync of the picture from AD for local contacts?
Thanks,
Jonathan
