Sync issues with Contacts for BB Mac Desktop
Since the BB Uprade Install for the Bold I have not been able to properly sync my device with the Mac. New contacts and edits don't syc at all and notes on any contacts don't update or synce.
Very frusting but I am sure there is a fix. PLEASE ADVISE!!!
Thanks.
I have a Pearl 3G and have had similar problems each time there is an update/upgrade. The one I downloaded and installed this week took a long time, but then the first synchronization would not stop. I eventually had to force it to stop, generating errors. I've had this before.
What I've done previously is cumbersome.
I start with turning off automatic sync.
I turn off sync for most items (contacts, tasks, etc.) and leave only calendars.
I generally have to over-write all the calendar entries on the device or the sync appears to go on forever (hours, even overnight).
I generally start with over-writing only future events, then check the box to include some new and old, increase the new and old range, then eventually sync everything in the calendar. --- Each step requires an additional manual sync.
I then start to sync Contacts, Notes, etc.
BUT ... and this is the very frustrating part ... I have to address up to hundreds of conflicts. This is the part that makes no sense.
I'd like some help and answers on this topic too.

BB BOLD 9700 sync issues with Outlook for MAC
Hi Support,
I hope that you can help me? I have been having issues with my BB calendar not being able to sync with my Outlook for MAC calendar. I am using BB OS 6.0, Blackberry Desktop software 2.2.0 and Mac OS X version 10.7.2.
I have been able toget around the calendars not syncing but this morning I added iCal to iCloud, stupid move as it erased my entire calendar.
i was wondering if someone could help me restore my Outlook calendar and have my BB and calendar sync properly.
Please Help!!!Hello and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The BlackBerry Desktop Software needs a local calendar for sync. It does not support the iCloud.
You will need to create a new local calendar in your iCal to continue synchronizing with the Desktop Software.
As for restoring your Outlook calendar, you will need to talk to Apple for assistance.

What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8
What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with System Version:
Mac OS X 10.5.8It will depend on the actual model you have.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99 while Mavericks is free. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

Just recently, I have been unable to receive icloud email on my iphone and new ipad3. Although, I am a loyal apple consumer, I feel a bit let down. I am a PhD student and used my ipad/icloud email for downloading and reading PDF journal articles. My goal is to eventally buy a MacBook Pro and eliminate some of the syncing issues with icloud by storing my documents on the hard drive. I hope this will give me some relief from all the trouble I have had with icloud. Please share your suggestions.
Right now, there is an iCloud blackout. Most people are having issues syncing Notes, Calenders, and Contacts between devices, emails aren't being sent, and Find My iPhone isn't working.

Sync issues with .mac & iPods / iTunes
Hi,
I have recently been getting sync issues with both my .mac account and iTunes. (all iPods)
To be exact, it is having trouble syncing my address book.
For iTunes, I can sync everything but my calendars and address book. (It freezes) My iPods work fine in syncing when I turn of the Ical / Address book sync feature.
and when my .mac sync starts, my computer freezes. (When trying to sync my address book)
This has only happened over the past week and I think its due to recent updates for the iPhone.
Can someone from Apple investigate this please....HI Dean,
Try trashing the preference files:
com.apple.isync.plist
com.apple.addressbook.plist
They are here: Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Prefs folder, locate those files, drag them to the Trash and reboot. See if that helps.

Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes
I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied). The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs. After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
I had another issue with my phone when playing music. When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found. I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'. I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle. After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song. I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again. This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone' tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play. All played ok.
I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening. Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it. My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S. The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S. When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app. However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process.
So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful. Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.
Mark.Hi,
Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running. I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices.
The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem. For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD, this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music. So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version. However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time. When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone. This may just have been luck though at that time.
Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on. The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
Thank you all for your comments. -
Sync issues with Thunderbolt drives
I'm checking to see if there are any sync issues with Mac Book Pros pre-Retina screen.
I have a (13-inch, Mid 2012) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Mac Book Pro and I'm having some sync/latency issues with a number of audio interfaces, including a Symphony I/O and a MBox Mini 2.
I'm editing with Final Cut Pro 7. Mavericks OS 10.9.5. It's also happening with QT 10.3.
I'm using a Thunderbridge with the Symphony I/O and the USB port for the MBox Mini 2, but it has the same issue. I'm trying to get the registration number for my Pro App version of QT 7 because QT 10 is having some issues with a few arcane video formats. Is that possible? I can't retrieve the email because the computer that might have it is long dead, and buried in storage.
configuration:
Mac Book Pro to
G RAID Studio (via Thunderbolt) to
(Apogee Symphony I/O Thunderbridge)
1080P monitor (via Belkin Mini Display port to HDMI cable)
or MBox mini via USB
Both of these setups have sync issues. I have rigged a 1/8" stereo plug out of the headphone output and except for the occasional deafening buzz when you touch the adapter, it works okay, with no seeming sync issues.
Is this a thing? I understand that there is an issue with Symphony I/Os and certain Haswell Mac USB 3.0 ports.Hi,
Yes, I apologize. The video editor wasn't giving me any details. I did see the 44.1/48khz issue online. So will this happen only if both are mixed in the same timeline?
Thanks -
How do I get rid of lip-sync issues with iTunes 10.2.2.12?
Hi Everyone.
Firstly, a very Happy Easter!
I'm having lip-sync issues with iTunes playback on my PC. The video is largely smooth with the occaisional choppiness when the CPU is made to work hard. (Playback on my iPod Touch is fine).
The system stats for my PC are at the bottom of the post.
The sound is produced through a Creative Live Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card.
Video is through a NVIDIA Geforce 6200 with 512Mb of RAM. (All video and audio drivers are up to date).
The physical set-up is that I have iTunes installed on the C drive and my media installed on an external USB hard-drive.This isn't just a problem with 10.2.2.12 - it's been there for the last few updates.
I suppose my main questions are:
Should iTunes and my media be on the same drive? (Which would mean the external drive as I'm short on space on the C drive).
Is there some combination of settings in QuickTime that will solve this? (I've tried different combinations, but it doesn't really help).
Is the spec (below) of my PC causing any issues.
Here's an Easter Egg for anyone able to help!!
All the best
BandAidUK.

ITunes sync issues with Windows 7 64k Bit
I am beyond frustrated! I have attempted for the past 3 days straight to figure out why iTunes keeps having syncing issues with all my devices- Nano 8GB, Touch 8GB, iPhone 3G 8GB. When I first connected the devices for the first time iTunes froze up and I had to hard boot. I then had to "restore" the devices as they were messed up. Since then I have had syncing issues. It says it is syncing but then it stops and freezes before it is finished and is unresponsive requiring me to end the program. Then my computer does not recognize the iPod is connected so I have to reboot my computer and it all starts over again. I'm not trying to sync a million song, 600 songs less than 2Gig.
Called Apple, they had me uninstall iTunes 9 and reload it. That did not fix the problem. Called back and they told me to go to the Apple store and have them check my devices (they did not as they said they were pretty sure it was not iTunes or my devices) that it was probably Windows 7. MS points the finger at iTunes 9, Apple points the finger at Windows 7... all the while me (the customer) has no resolution. I don't care what the issue is... I would just like to figure out how to fix it (if it's my computer fine...I'll take it in to have it fixed) but I just cant get anyone to help figure out what/where the issue is.
I have tried many of the "tricks" that are posted when you google the issue.. ie reinstall drivers etc. The "Genius" at the Apple store searchd and found something that said it might be my motherboard needing an updated driver (I updated that and nothing changed).
Would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help
Thanks!Hi,
Does your PC have a NVIDIA USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) chipset?

Is anyone else having syncing issues with their Apple TV? I am trying to sync movies up that I just bought (StarTrek HD, IronMan HD) and the sync sits there with the progress bar moving all the way to the end but never actually finishes. Just sits there for hours! I don't know if it is because of the iTunes Extras or not, but it is getting very annoying.
I have read a lot of bad reviews of the Apple TV 3.0.1 update and I have to say, the my Apple TV is very sluggish and hangs a lot with this new revision. I am sure that is part of my issues syncing. All of this is sad because the product has such potential. To me, it is like an iPod for your TV.
I believe with this slow response times and issues Apply may be working on a hardware update to the device which is long overdue. Maybe the new software requires a faster processor and/or more memory which will be answered in the new hardware (one can only hope). We are just beta testing the new software. Apple: Listen to the people, we want bigger hard drive (500GB+) and reliability! We want it to run as smooth as an iPod. The moment you update the hardware, everyone with Apple TVs will buy a new one!Yes I have the same problem,, and it was with 2.4 version, I upgraded to 3.0.1 and still the status bar progresses all the way to end and just hangs there,,, BS is what it is,, If this is not fixed or goes unanswered I am just going to take my Apple TV back as I just purchased it yesterday. 12/17/09

Here is how to enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Apps
I just discovered that with a very simple native extension method, I can enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Applications.
This gets you the full screen icon in the top right, and it works perfectly with no changes to my code. (Obviously only works on Lion and above, since this is a Lion feature)
Enjoy.
Here's the code:
FREObject _EnableFullScreenMode(FREContext ctx, void* functionData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])
//We should be okay to do this, even on 10.6, according to this post:
//http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/311124-implementing-full-screen-for-10-7-but-app-should-also-run-on-10-6.html
//We can't use [NSApp mainWindow] - didn't appear to work
//This seems to though:
NSArray * allWindows = [NSApp windows];
if (allWindows.count > 0)
NSWindow *mainWindow = [allWindows objectAtIndex: 0];
NSWindowCollectionBehavior behavior = [mainWindow collectionBehavior];
behavior |= NSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary;
[mainWindow setCollectionBehavior:behavior];
//TODO: Return a boolean instead depending on if we found the main window
return NULL;Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

Syncing issues with an external hard drive
Hello, having a syncing issue with my iTunes right now. I have my library set up on an external hard drive because there isn't anymore space on my computer for my music, and the other day my roommate unplugged the external to ironically sync my ipod. There was a syncing issue of course but it's happened before so I wasn't worried, but now iTunes can't find a few hundred songs in my library still. I've restarted iTunes and replugged in my hard drive multiple times and restarted my computer and consolidated my library as well but nothing's working. All my music is still on my external but iTunes can't read some of the songs for some reason. Any suggestions at this point? I'm lost. Thanks.

What drive letter did the exHD use before this happened? Do you know?
Windows can change hard drive letters for USB devices without telling you.
Use Windows Disk Management to change the drive letter back to what it was before your roomie created this havoc. Then start itunes, and tell your roomie it's their turn to I dunno, clean the toilet, or something useful. -
Syncing issues with 1st Gen. AppleTV
Hello, having syncing issues with my 1st generation ATV. It just keeps filling up until it is full regardless of the settings.
I have set it for only the last 5 unwatched for tv, movies, etc. and then I have changed every movie and tv show, etc to unwatched and it still puts everything on my AppleTV until it is full.
I have turned off syncing and then back on again. It fills back again. Yesterday I restored it to factory settings, did the updates, turned on syncing with the 'last 5 unwatched' settings again and same result. How the **** do you keep it from filling up with all of your media? I just can't figure it out. Must be missing something. Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide some insight on this. -DR
It does it with all versions of iTunes. I have the most current at the moment (11.0.1)Hello Winston, thanks. I have tried none selected and only one selected to try to narrow down what is happening. Same result.
As far as it being full I am looking at the multi-colored bar at the bottom that shows what is on it and what percentage of each (tv shows, audio, etc.). -
I have recently purchased a Mac. I'm very dissapointed at the way Outlook 2011(the newest version, what?!?)interfaces with the Mac. I used the contacts feature all the time when I had a microsoft system. Now, I can't do that with Outlook for the Mac. Does anyone have any alternative Apps that they've used for Business contacts? Thanks much.
thank you both for your responses. I'm having trouble mostly with a way to handle my business contacts. I'm self employed and when I had Outlook for Microst(before I switched to Apple)I was so pleased with this softward. Esp the way it would keep track of any correspondense between me and my customer. I could also track billing thru Outlook contacts.
Now, I get my mail thru outllook and use ical and @contacts. I see that I can have a separate group of contacts thru @contacts, but, it's not the same or nearly as good as Outlook contacts for Microsoft.
So, right now I'm really disapointed with my Mac purchase and hoping to find an app that will help. I will investigate Thunderbird.
thanks again.
