    Is it because the new itunes looks different.

    Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.

  • Sync Google Contacts via iTunes not working

    Hi
    Just got a new Macbook with Yosemite and am syncing my Google Mail, Calendar, Contacts with the Macbook without difficulty,  I have disabled iCloud syncing for Mail, Calendar, and Contacts. 
    Now, I want to get Google Contacts set up on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) as a stop gap before getting a new iPhone down the line.  However, I can't find a reliable way of getting my Google Contacts on to the iPhone 3G.
    Exchange Sync and CardDAV do not work.  I don't mind syncing via iTunes but I can't set this up either.  Despite telling iTunes to sync 'All Contacts' it won't sync those from my Google account.  Only contacts in 'On My Mac' group sync across, but I don't want to manually keep track of and copy new Google contacts into this group just to sync.
    Why won't iTunes sync the Google contacts group - currently it is the only group in my OS X Contacts.
    I have reset sync and reinitialised the iPhone to factory image - neither works.
    Any advice appreciated.

    try rebooting the appletv.
    also, you have a first generation appletv but have posted in the second generation appletv forum.

  • Sync google contacts via itunes

    do the contact go to contact book?

    In order to make the sync work the way you describe I would have to manually export the contacts from Google, manually import them into Outlook. Then manually export the Outlook contacts back out and re-import them back into Google. Then hope that duplicates don't occur. This would all be done without using iTunes.
    iTunes doesn't support syncing directly with a csv file. Syncing with iTunes works without any issue to get contacts to and from the phone. However, those contacts will not get into Google's server. And any contacts that came from Google will never sync with iTunes.
    What I want is a way to do this automatically. You are right however, MobileMe might be the only way to do this with Outlook. But I have Outlook XP (2002), I would need to upgrade to Outlook 2007 in order to use this. In addition it says the following: "If you use Microsoft Outlook in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server, MobileMe will not sync your contacts or calendars with Outlook." So I am back once again to not being able to sync with all 3 (phone, outlook and exchange "cloud"). Maybe this is why that didn't work for your buddy.
    MobileMe also costs $100/year. A little steep if you ask me, considering exchange through Google is free.

  • Problems sync'ing iPod with iTunes

    I purchased some episodes of The Office through iTunes recently. Initially these episodes appeared on my iPod after sync'ing. Now, when I sync, the episodes will not transfer to my iPod. They appear in my iTunes account, the checkboxes are checked, but I can't get them on my iPod.
    Has anyone experienced this before? Any thoughts?

    Disregard.
    I found an option in iTunes where you can set the Play Count to zero. When this is set to zero and you sync your iPod, all content appears on your iPod.
    Not sure if this is the best solution, but it works.

  • Sync iPod contacts with iTunes & Outlook

    I have a new iPod that I have added over 200 contacts on. Now I have a new PC and need to sync contacts to Outlook through iTunes.
    My contacts are not saved anywhere else at this point other than my iPod.

    My iTunes is configured to sync all contacts with Google Contacts, and doesn't allow me to select the option of syncing specific groups. The four contacts from my Google Contacs list were added to my iPod, but nothing from my iPod was sent to Google Contacts.

  • Sync'ing Contacts - Changes to Contacts on Computer

    When syncing contacts using iTunes between Outlook and iPhone, I receive a message that says it will "change more than 5% of the contacts on this computer."
    Does anyone know exactly what will be changed in my Outlook contacts? Data deleted out of the contacts? If so, I can't sync my contacts as all contact information in Outlook is important.

    Did you assign rigntones or pictures to individual Contacts in the iPhone? This data will attempt to sync back into Outlook as new data in the entry. It should not overwrite any existing data, even through the concept of a ringtone is not supported in most Windows & Mac apps.

  • How to sync Google Contacts without iTunes

    First, I know this looks like a duplicated question (of other with same title) but if you look you will see that question is pretty different.
    Also, I've seen some suggestions visiting m.google.com/sync, but that is not available anymore, at least for iOS 5.
    I have many Google Contacts that came from more than one Android Devices. Using iTunes, (Device, Info, Sync Google Contacts) I managed to download all those contacts. Problem of this solution is: contacts added in the iOS device (in my iPod) are only uploaded to Google Contacts (therefore for the android devices) when I connect my to itunes - with is a pretty bad solution for many reasons.
    So I found a kind of a solution that is using an exchange account just for the contacts, refer here:
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    problem is, whatever I do (after validating and getting information that i'ts correct) when I access the address book it's prompted the password, I put it and I always get wrong password. I found many people with the same problem but no clear solution?
    Anyone knows a workaround or another solution ?

    In answer to actionmarker: i have windows xp servie pack 3
    In answer to Julian Wright: I just want a backup in case something happens to my ipad I  have no need for instant access on my computer as i rarely use it. I do not want to have to purchase outlook to backup and as far as i can tell even sycning with google calander (which i would need to setup as I do not already have but as i have a gmail account assume I can signup) seems to require outlook.
    So if i do nothing and worse comes to worse a restore of my ipad would recover my calander data?
    I am hoping that with iclouds and ios5 release that as far as i can tell from what i have read calander will be instanlty backed up over wifi when the ipad is connected to a powersource. I'm just hoping that it won't still require outlook (as it does not in mobile me).
    The other big risk is that the act of updating to iso5 will wipe my calander data or that i will be in need of a backup prior to iso5 coming out.
    So if anyone has any suggestions.....

  • Application disappeared after sync'ing iPhone to iTunes

    I rarely sync my iPhone with iTunes. Tonight I plugged my phone in, and decided to sync apps with my mac b/c I had downloaded an app on my laptop that I wanted on the phone. I'm not sure what dialog I clicked on, but one of the 10 apps on my iPhone (which I purchased) wasn't synced to the Mac and has now disappeared from my iPhone.
    It's a paid app, and so I don't know if I can simply download it again w/out being charged.
    Ideas on what I should do?

    Redownload it. There's no charge. See this kbase article:

  • How do I sync Iphone contacts without iTunes

    My mom has an iPhone 3gs and I am trying to help her with apps.
    I tried to download an app for her, but it says "This iPhone requires the iphone 3.2 update".  I tried to update the iphone on her computer, but her computer is all messed up and I can't install the latest version of itunes.  (she has windows vista, probably a bunch of spyware.  For all intents and purposes the computer isn't usable)
    So, I tried to plug her iphone into my computer and it says it cannot read the iphone and it recommended that I restore the iPhone.
    I'd like to restore the computer so she can have the ios software update, but I need to know how to backup her contacts and pictures without using iTunes.
    I have an android phone and I know I can just sync with google contacts, but she doesn't use email, let alone outlook or mobileme.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    As iTunes is still currently listed as a requirement for the iPhone as well as a computer with certain specs, there really isn't an option.  You will have to use iTunes to do any backing up of data.

  • Sync'ing contacts with Outlook no longer works

    Ipod Nano 4gb with latest iTunes 7.02.16. Problem was also present on previous version of iTunes.
    At one time, for a while after I bought my iPod nano, I could sync my Outlook contacts. It used to popup a message in Outlook asking for permission and I would say, yes, 10 minutes or whatever.
    Now iTunes just keeps saying "Cannot sync contacts with Outlook, try closing all instances of Outlook and restarting" but that suggestion does not solve the problem.
    Anybody know how to fix this?
    cheers,

    You should probably post your question in the iTunes or iPod discussions

  • Cannot sync iphone contacts to itunes to sync with address book

    need to import iPhone contacts into new mac.trying to use iTunes, but it is not syncing. Tried mobile me, no luck. Help

    What is the problem?
    Why not move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one?
    If you sync your iphone to a blank computer, then the contacts will be erased.

  • Sync Yahoo contacts via iTunes or Address Book?

    I currently sync my iPhone contacts with my Mac Address Book, via iTunes. I want to start syncing with my Yahoo contacts also.
    There are (at least) two ways to do this:
    I can configure iTunes to sync with both Address Book and Yahoo contacts when I sync the iPhone.
    I can configure Address Book to automatically sync with Yahoo contacts, in which case I would just continue syncing the iPhone with Address Book as I do now.
    What are the differences between these two approaches? For example, will the Yahoo contacts be kept out of my Address Book with the first option but not the second?

    I decided to try syncing via Address Book, and it worked great.
    FYI, what I was trying to accomplish is having a single contact store in Address Book, Yahoo, on the iPhone, and on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Tab doesn't support syncing contacts with Yahoo, only Google, so I actually had to sync everything through Google.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Synced the Address Book with Yahoo contacts to merge those.
    2. Manually cleaned up the merged contacts in Address Book, then synced again.
    3. Synced the Address Book with Google contacts (in addition to Yahoo contacts). Since I don't use gmail, I didn't have any existing Google contacts.
    4. Verified that the contacts were now in Google.
    5. Synced contacts for the Google account on my Galaxy Tab.
    I now have all my contacts everywhere I need them. I think using the Address Book rather than iTunes to sync with Yahoo and Google was the better choice, since I can do it from the Mac without sycning my iPhone.

  • I have never synced my contacts with iTunes

    ....so now I have lots of contacts on my iPhone 3GS but unsure as to how to transfer these successfully onto iTunes without wiping them from the phone.
    Any ideas?
    iOS = 4.3.5

    Simple answer, you do not.
    iTunes is a media management application, not a contact management application.
    It is possible to use iTunes to sync contacts between an iDevice and a supported application on the computer.
    I would recomend reading the manual, it provides details on syncing contacts.
