Sync problem with TREO 680 - calendar sync times out

Hi all, perhaps someone can help. After updating the battery longer life package - which is working fine the the battery, no sync is possible any more.
Funny also for an unlocked TREO just Rogers and AT&T package is available for Europe - I selected the Rogers one - perhaps that is the problem.
By re-installing the whole software from CD and updating the sync SW from the palm sites, the sync process always stops when the calendar is going to be synchronized. Stops means loops, times out, ...
Any idea?
Thanks,

il_drago,
The information you provied is great, thank you. This should resolve your problem:
Ok, first we need to see if you can sync without calendar checked. On your computer right click the hotsync icon and go to settings. Then click on applactions and uncheck Datebook. Close up the menus and try to hotsync if it syncs fine good continue on.
Next we need to install a program on to your device called DBFixit (here's the link http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm) Download this file on the right side of the page. Then install the application to the device. Once on the device open it up and tap on the blue bar but in the top left select delete calendar blobs and say OK or yes. Then keep running that till you have 0 listed or no blobs found. Then we are going to hotsync with calendar syncing from the device to the PC. Again right click the hotsync icon and go to custom. Then click on calendar and then change. Then select handheld overwrites desktop. Sync and post back if that fixed the issue.
If it did then we need to change the sync to sync the files and set that as default. To do that, again right click the hotsync icon and go to settings. Then click on applactions and check Datebook. You should be all set at that point.

Sync problems with ATV per HDMI and optical out

Have some sync problems with ATV (actual), TV is connected via HDMI, sound goes over optical cable into DAC (Rega) and then to the amplifier, when using only TV-sound everything is fine, switching to the external speakers brings up a little delay, around 1/10 second. Any chance to fix this?
Yogi

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I believe this delay is caused by the DAC, I don't think there is anything you can do about this.

Sync Problem with Treo 650

When I try to sync my Treo 650 with Oracle Calendar, it does not work,. The Oracle Calendar log says, "The sync client service could not find a mandatory preference." When I go into CalendarSync settings, there is no time zone selected, and there are no options to select -- the box is empty. I have found other threads on the web regarding this which suggest removing a registry entry which will then get CalendarSync to function properly, but that fix has not worked for me. Does anyone have a fix? Does Oracle know about this problem? judging from the postings on the web, lots of people are encountering it.

I have tried this fix that was posted on the forum, but it doesn't work. The date setting showed up in Calendar Sync settings, but as soon as I tried a HotSync it disappeared and my calendar did not synchronize. The following is the fix posted on the forum -- as far as I can tell, it does not work. Does anyone out there (Oracle people?) know what's going on?
"I was having the same problem on my Treo 650. Don't know if this will work for you, but it did for me (at least, it's working right at this moment).
"I'd installed Calendar Sync for Palm 10.1.1 on my Windows box and experienced "small heap" errors when syncing. At this point, I could see the timezone settings. Couldn't find anything on the small heap error, so I went to palm.com and downloaded/installed the latest Desktop software 4.1.4e, then reinstalled Calendar Sync. This is when I noticed there was a blank menu in the setup screen for the timezones. After poking around in the registry, I found the following:
1. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\Calendar Sync for Palm" appears to contain all the correct calendar sync configurations settings.
2. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Calendar Sync for Palm" also existed that basically contained blank keys. I deleted this hierarchy, went back to my settings, and the proper timezone showed up, along with all the other timezone settings.
I don't know if this was a fluke, or if it will continue to work, but the next time I synced, it worked.
After this worked, I uninstalled Calendar Sync and manually removed registry entry #1 aobve. I then reinstalled the Calendar Sync and checked the registry-- only the one mentioned in #1 was there, and everything worked fine. I'm curious to know if this works for you.

Problems with iPhone Entourage calendar sync

My iPhone and Entourage have been syncing fine, but recently every time I sync them, the iPhone calendar is wiped clean - no events, even thought they're all still in Entourage. Occasionally, if I reset sync history in iSync and turn off and then turn on sync settings in Entourage, it works. But I need to work out how to make it work every time. Any tips? PS contacts sync fine.

Do you know if your solution will also work to eliminate duplicate Entourage calendars in Itunes and on the Iphone? Every time a change is made in Entourage Preferences Sync Services, a new Entourage calendar is added in Itunes, Ical and, consequently, on the Iphone, after a sync is performed. All but one of the Entourage calendars is empty and serve no purpose just being listed. I initially tried deleting the calendars in ICal and ended up wiping my Entourage calendar clean. Fortunately, I'm transitioning from a Palm T/X and have all my data up to date there, so I was able to restore my Entourage calendar. I only have 1 Entourage calendar showing in Entourage, but now have 4 Entourage calendars showing up in Ical, Itunes and on my phone. I'd LOVE to get rid of the empty ones!
Thanks in advance,
Phyl

Problems with Treo 680 hotsync with exchange server with Outlook conduits

I have a Treo 680 set to sync with my companies exhange server for e-mail and calendar.
When the phone is docked, it will not perform any synching if I try to use the Hotsync feature. It says that it syncs and doesn't give any errors during the Hotsync, but it doesn't actually sync anything.
The phone will sync wirelessly, though, and after several tries. If I go to sync calendar, it gives an error:
"There was a problem syncing events. There was a problem synchronizing with the server. Please select the Sync button to try again."
When I try to sync again it gives another message:
"There was a problem syncing with the Exchange ActiveSync server. Your next sync will take a little longer than usual. Do you want to sync now?"
And if I select "Yes" it will sync wirelessly. It receives all the items and does sync the calendar, but gives an error message:
"There was a problem syncing events." and if I click the details it says:
"AirSAMStateMachine.c 1814 6 Server rejected device Add Status:6"
But, it does appear to have synced all the calendar items correctly.
Likewise, if I go to sync e-mails it does the same thing with the error details:
"AirSAMStateMachine.c 3873 4 Sync key invalid, cmd: 4,status: 4"
And again, it will update the e-mails. Also, if I set it to auto-sync e-mails, it will receive e-mails as soon as they arrive, but will always give that error message afterwards.
Any thoughts?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

No, that didn't work. Although Hotsync says it is using Outlook for syncing Calendar, Tasks, etc., nothing is actually sent to the phone. I have to do it wirelessly, which does sync but it gives those errors and takes a few tries.

Edit:
Upon doing a hard reset and reinstalling everything, it works now. Thanks.

Problem with 2 way calendar syncing

Hi
I have a N93 and use a usb cable to simply sync calendar items to and from the phone to a PC with Windows 2000 using Outlook. The PC suite is 6.82.22.0.
Recently, calendar items entered into the phone are not being updated onto the PC - the sync works fine the other way. All the 'obvious' settings are correct and I have had several months without any such problems.
On the N93 it informs me that (for example) one entry is to be uploaded but it never arrives onto the Outlook calendar.
Any help or clues very welcome, in a not too technical way please!
Thanks
Jon

HT1386 Windows 8 Syncing Problem with Contacts and Calendars Office 2007 and iphone 4

I have a new Dell Inspiron 17R and just did a sync with my iphone 4. It wiped out my contact and calendar listing. I have selected the contacts and calenders sync option. It is almost like the sync process can not fine the pst file on this new Windows 8 computer.

For this particular issue, as suggested by yellowadept, go the the info tab at under the advanced section, choose replace contact information on iphone. This will over write any contact information on the iphone with what you have in address book on the computer.
However, if you are interested in what part of the 111 contacts will be changed, you could open address book first. Then highlight all your contacts and click on file>export>as vcard. Then you could back up all your contacts to your desktop. After you export all your contacts then you could sync the iphone and allow the changes to see what changes were made. If the iphone actually changed anything, then you could delete all your contacts in address book, then import the vcards back in.
Also, keeping a back-up of your contacts and calendars is a pretty good idea.
Hope this helps.

Problems with iPad Exchange Calendar Sync under iOS 5.0.1

Under the prior iOS, I had been using my iPhone (3GS) and iPad1 with my calendar (and mail) synching with my Exchange account without any problems.
Now, under iOS 5.0.1, my calendar synchronization and how invitations are handled has become completely erratic.
Fortunately, none of the actual events on the server have been corrupted.
But when I accept invitations on my computer, the invitations don't get cleared on the phone. And/or they mysteriously change to "grey" unaccepted events.
If I then accept an invitation on the phone, it does not get changed on the iPad. If I then accept it on the iPad, then the phone switches its status to an unaccepted event.
It is completely infuriating.

25th Floor wrote:
Templeton - I realized I'm not completely clear about your suggestion.
Do you turn off the calendar for the Exchange acccount under the Settings for the iPhone or iPad. Which I guess eliminates the account, and then you have to enable it again and get it synched down to the appliance?
I was debating trying this approach, and was encouraged that you found it to work.....
Thanks.
correct.

Calendar syncing problems with laptop and iphone

Calendar entries on my iphone don't find their way to my ical on my laptop. When i connect and sync all ical entries are double entered on my phone. Please can anyone help.
Driving me mad as i just can't rely on it!

I think this might be the same problem I'm having, except that I'm having the same problem with both the calendar and the address book. I know things are syncing correctly between my work laptop, my home laptop, my home desktop, and MobileMe. My problem is with my phone. Everything synced fine until I upgraded to version 3. Then the phone would not update at all. I've tried to turn on the Contacts and Calendars in the Settings, but the "switches" won't stay ON. The Mail switch stays on with no problem. I finally forced the phone to sync through iTunes, but then I had double entries in the calendar and double contacts (on the phone only). So .. how to I get it to sync automatically, and how do I get rid of the double entries and contacts? Should I completely delete my account on my phone, and start over? I don't want to mess something up.

Sync Problem with iPod Touch and Apple TV relating to iPhoto

I have recently recovered from a crash and has to restore everything from my time machine.
I have an iPod touch that syncs with my itunes and therefore with my iPhoto.
Same thing with my Apple TV syncing via itunes with my iPhoto.
After the restore. I have this message:" itunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
Previously I got the same message when syncing iPod touch with iPhoto. Then I opened iPhoto package content and remove the iPod Photo cache. that solves my iPod touch sync problem.
How can I sync with Apple TV again?

I believe you need to reset the Sync services data. Assuming your data on the Mac is correct (or correctable), try this:
1. If it is easy enough to do, clean up iCal. There are AppleScripts and other tools on the Internet to do this.
2. Save a copy of you calendar. Just in case. (File, Back up iCal...)
3. Exit iCal.
4. Start iSync.
5. Preferences, Reset Sync History. (If it is greyed out, wait a few minutes.)
6. Quit iSync.
7. Start iTunes and plug in your iPod.
8. Select your iPod and go to the Info tab.
9. Make sure you have the correct Calendars selected. At the bottom, under Advanced, under Replace information on this iPod, select Calendars.
10. Sync.
That should do it.
Normally, the fiddling with iSync should clear things up, so you can try just that, and syncing, but since your have a messed up situation, I'd go through all these steps once.

Sync problem caused by birthday calendar

I can't sync between my iPhone 3G and my Powerbook anymore.
Looking into the log, the problem seems to be coming from a problem with a birthday calendar (please see log at the bottom of this post).
I have a clue, how the problem might have been created:
I installed the "2do" app on the iPhone and synced it successfully many times (vie WLAN). Also, syncing my address book and calendar was no problem. Then suddenly in my iCal a second "Birthday" category popped up. The first one was the subscription from the birthdays in my address book. The (new) second birthday category was identical and duplicated my birthdays in iCal, so I erased one of the two (I don't remember which one).
Since about this time, no syncing is possible. I tried to erase the sync-history in iSync, but it didn't help.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem/conflict?
I would be happy if someone told me how to erase all calendar, address book and syncing data from my mac and to recall all data from my iPhone if that's a promising strategy...
Thanks in advance!

Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail - any solutions?

I notice that Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail. After running for some hours, I noticed there were 6 emails in my Gmail account that had not synced over the past hour.
In the meanwhile, for safety's sake (don't want to miss emails!) I'm back to Mailplane. But I wonder if anybody knows of a solution to this long term problem first introduced in Mavericks. Works fine in iOS Mail though.
Thanks,
doug

I don't think we'll ever have a "best of both worlds" Doug. I've used Gmail since the week it launched the first beta in 2004, and it's always been a bit of a love-hate relationship for me (mostly love). With the demise of the Google Notifier for Mac, I went with Mailplane, but even it has problems. Like when I see my iPhone update with new mail and I'm looking at Mailplane and it won't update at times with even a forced refresh. I often have to close/reopen it to see new messages. But, it's hard to live without my Google Calendar only a tab click away, one of the primary reasons I use Mailplane, that plus changing view zoom sticks with Mailplane and won't with Gmail.
For years I've thought Gmail labels were the perfect filing solution, but over the past few weeks I've been analyzing just how much I really use that feature, and for me...it's not all that much. I think I could simplify my life by putting everything into appropriate folders (as in all other email apps). Apple doesn't realize just how much money they're losing by not allowing people to use private domains with iCloud mail...which I would do in a heartbeat just because it would work perfectly with Mail.app. I would pay even more than I currently pay Google for this solution with Google Apps Business. So, I'm actually on the verge of moving my private domain to the best email service I can find and then using it with Mail.app. The problem here, of course, is I'll lose the best spam control on the planet (Gmail). So, as you say, there simply is not a "best" solution for all these things. I'll at least try a new email service first with some other domain to see how I like it before moving my primary email.
Lastly, the other thing that incenses me is synching of flags between iOS and Apple Mail. It works fine between Gmail and iOS Mail, since all I care about is whether a message is starred/flagged or not. But using Apple Mail, when I flag a message it will not show as flagged in their own iOS Mail, which is incomprehensible, given they built both apps.
If you find a great solution or discover anything new...please post it here, Doug. Thanks.
