Sync SmartGroups to iPhone script

I need to sync SmartGroups to the iPhone but only regular groups are synced, so I thought about having a script that copies all contacts from a SmartGroup to a group everyday at 22:00. (Deleting every contact from the target group before if it exists and creating a new one if it doesn't.)
I had this script it doesn't work anymore:
on replaceString(theText, oldString, newString)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldString
set tempList to every text item of theText
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to newString
set theText to the tempList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return theText
end replaceString
tell application "Address Book"
set theGroups to every group
end tell
repeat with aGroup in theGroups
if id of aGroup contains "ABSmartGroup" then
set theName to "" & replaceString((name of aGroup), "SM_", "")
tell application "Address Book"
if group theName exists then
remove every person from group theName
else
make new group with properties {name:theName}
end if
add (every person in aGroup) to group theName
end tell
end if
end repeat
tell application "Address Book" to save
tell application "Address Book" to quit

ended up using this one:
tell application "Address Book"
repeat with the_person in every person in group "SM_Exterior"
remove the_person from group "Exterior"
add the_person to group "Exterior"
end repeat
repeat with the_person in every person in group "SM_Endereços"
remove the_person from group "Endereços"
add the_person to group "Endereços"
end repeat
repeat with the_person in every person in group "SM_Brasil"
remove the_person from group "Brasil"
add the_person to group "Brasil"
end repeat
save
quit
end tell

  • Syncing iTunes to iphone from 2 computers

    I have the same iTunes login name on 2 computers but they both have different music. When I go to select manually manage music it tell me, "The iphone is synced to another iTunes Library. Would you like to erase and sync to this library?" I would like to add songs from both computers as one is my work computer and the other is my personal computer. Is there a way this is possible?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 (a Windows tool, Carbon Copy Cloner should do the same job on OS X) to update the local copy with the external drive. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch (a Windows tool, Doug's Scripts has similar tools) just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box. Alternatively see this thread which describes how to clone your LibraryPersistentID.

  • TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

    When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
    Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
    Any ideas?
    Peter

    The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
    Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

  • Voice Memos sync to itunes, but don't sync back to iPhone

    When I sync my iPhone with iTunes, the "Voice Memos" playlist gets created and I get my memos into iTunes just fine. However, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that when you delete a memo from iTunes it should be deleted from your iPhone on the next sync, and also that you should be able to add memos into iTunes and they sync into your iPhone. Not only does this not work for me, but when I delete a memo from iTunes and then sync my iphone, I get an error saying my iPhone couldn't sync, error code 13019. Once I delete the memo from the iPhone MYSELF, the iPhone syncs okay.
    Incidentally, I also find that even if I name a memo on the iPhone, when I sync it into iTunes it comes through with just the date as the title, not the name I gave it on iTunes.
    Is anyone else noticing this behavior with Voice Notes? I did actually try restoring my iPhone and it didn't chance anything.

    Seens to be fixed with iTunes 11.2.2.

  • How do I get iCal to sync to my iphone 4. It used to work and now it won't. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

    How do I get iCal on my Mac to sync with my iphone 4.
    It used to work and now it doesn't.
    I am not on MobileMe or the Cloud.
    Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

    Hi Arezzo
    I'm asuming you are using iTunes then to sync? this can be done over WiFi or the USB cable.
    Review your setting for the calendar sync once iTunes is open and your iPhone is connected. Make sure your Calendars are selected to sync that you need. By default all calendars will.
    So the option i have for you is to reset the sync service and this will reset those settings in iTunes. Meaning that you will have to switch them on again in iTunes to sync. But this mostly clears unresolved sync issues.
    Please do yourself a favour and hit backup in iTunes before doing any testing. iTunes will then keep a local backup of your iPhone in case of any data loss.
    {added}
    open Terminal from your Utilities folder and paste this command in to reset. OS X 10.6 - 10.8
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full [press Enter]
    if it prompts for a password, just type your password and hit [Enter] again.
    Open iTunes then set your syncs up and it should then carry on again.

  • ITunes 12.0.1 now just "hangs" and does not complete the sync with my iPhone (iOS 6.1.6).

    Hello all,
    I've seen similar posts earlier in Apple discussions, but I haven't come across a definitive answer yet…So, let me ask again:
    Up until 6-7 hours ago, iTunes 12.0.1 was working perfectly well including syncing with my iPhone (I use an oldie but a goodie and it suits my purposes, iOS 6.1.6, 3GS).  Specifically iTunes now "hangs" and will not complete the syncing process with my iPhone. It get to "2 of 6" in the backing up process, and then the spinning beach ball appears. I keep my iTunes library on a separate external HD (USB).
    Even if I only want to launch iTunes 12 to use it (and NOT sync), the application freezes.
    In similar posted questions, "Linc Davis" has asked that the user run a diagnostic using the Terminal utility.  I have done this, and I paste the results below.
    Any help with this is appreciated!

    Dear Linc,
    Thanks, once again, for repeating yourself by sending me the message above (a message you have sent to MANY users with this problem)!
    However, you give me this great opportunity to say two things:  1) YAHOO! I fixed the problem, and 2) I want to share how I did so because I hope it helps others.
    With the help of reading info at this website http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/22/fix-the-itunes-library-itl-cannot-be-read-version -error-when-downgrading-itunes/, I followed this procedure:
    1) I deleted the iTunes 12.0.1 app from my computer
    2) In addition, in reading related details at the website above (i.e., by clicking on links on the page AND scrolling to the very bottom to view links to related articles), in my iTunes library folder, I changed MY CURRENT "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library.old", as the website advises. The current .itl file was the one being used by the iTunes app I had just deleted from my computer.
    3) I went to the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and dragged a copy of the second-most recent .itl file to my desktop (for me, this file was "iTunes Library 2014-07-23.itl").
    4) I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl"
    5) I then dragged a copy of the file in step #4 to my iTunes folder (the folder in which you now also have the "iTunes Library.old" file).
    6) I closed all remaining apps on my computer that were opened and I restarted it.
    7) Now, you don't have any iTunes app on your computer, so I downloaded a .dmg of iTunes 12.0.1.26 and installed the app (for example, you can download from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5661/apple-itunes.
    8) Once installed, I opened iTunes and immediately I got the dialogue box, "updating iTunes library" -- THIS TOOK FOREVER AS I HAVE CLOSE TO 1,000 SONGS + OTHER ITEMS IN MY LIBRARY!
    9) I patiently waited until the library update completed, but it DID COMPLETE.
    10) Viola!  iTunes 12 is not "hanging" (or freezing) any longer.  I can navigate around the application.
    CAVEATS:
    1) Before I first deleted "the corrupted" iTunes 12, I was able to open the Preferences panel, go to "Devices", and check the box that stops the app from syncing with my iPhone.  This setting seemed to carry over; thus, I have not tried to sync yet…WISH ME LUCK!
    2) After going through steps 1-10 above, I didn't immediately have Internet Radio available in the application (i.e., I didn't see it), but it is now showing up and it works!  I just had to wait for a few minutes...
    3) I also use iTunes Match, but I haven't turned it on yet in the newly installed app. On the iTunes Match page, it says, "Add this computer" or "No thanks". So, the app is behaving as if I'm just beginning to use iTunes Match for the first time.  Later, I will click on "Add this computer", and I hope it goes smoothly!
    4) This isn't a caveat, but I think I should say: my iTunes library is on an external USB HD (I have to say THANK GOD for that). Obviously, this has implications for doing steps 2 to 5 above. The newly installed iTunes 12 app had no trouble in finding where my library is (I had it set up this way back when I was using iTunes 10).
    5) One last piece of advice: Make sure that when you plug your iPhone into any other computer only to re-charge but the iTunes app on that computer wants to sync with your phone, you DON'T let it sync.  First, you should go to Preferences in the iTunes app and click on "Devices". Then check the box that says, "Prevent iPods, iPhones,…….from syncing automatically."  After that, you would be able to plug in your iPhone to another computer to re-charge it.
    FINALLY:  I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS WILLING TO SUGGEST SOLUTIONS TO ME REGARDING THIS PROBLEM!  I see that MANY users are having this difficulty, so I thought it would be fair for me to share how I resolved the issue -- my iTunes is running fine now...

  • I do not want all of the playlists in iTunes to be synced to my iPhone. With iCloud I do not seem to have a choice. How do I select only certain playlists for my iPone?

    I have many songs and playlists in my iTunes account.  I do not want all of them synced to my iPhone 5S, but that has happened via iCloud, and it has caused a storage problem on my phone.  How do I select only certain playlists to be synced to my iPhone? 

    You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
    Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

    I have a playlist that I only sync to my iPhone once a year (Christmas Music).  I  checked it on the list to sync, along with all my other playlists but when I Apply it and Sync it, the Christmas Music Playlist does not show up.  It showed up one time with only 2 of 238 songs.  Then it showed up with the music in the iCloud, but would only play 3 songs and would skip through a bunch of songs ending up on only those 3 songs.  I can't tell you how many times I have "Synced" my phone trying to get the Christmas Playlist to show up.  I changed the name, deleted the playlist and reinstalled it, deleted it on the phone and tried to reinstall it on the phone manually.  Can't get it to work.  Christmas will be over and I will not be able to listen to my music.  THX, Lynn

    Lynn,
    I had a very similar issue (same playlist).  After several frustrating hours of various combinations I was able to sync by changing the options to "manuall sync.." and then "dragging and dropping" the needed playlist from the iTunes Playlist list to the iPhone button (on my itunes setup/view that was from the far left column list of all of my  playlist in iTunes to the far upper right "iPhone" button).  To sum up "checking" the playlist and syncing didnt work, "drag and droping" the playlist did... at least for now... then I unselected the "manually manage" in the options and re-synced and all playlist were synced correctly.  Good Luck.

  • I imported a cd that I purchased and I can't get it to sync to my phone. All the songs have a grey circle in front of them and the names of the songs are grey as well. How do I get iTunes to see them so they can sync to my iPhone?.

    I've imported 3 cd's to my iTunes, but they continue to be "grey-ed out" with a dotted grey circle in front of them. The music will not sync to my iPhone. How do I get iTunes to recognize them so that they will sync?

    Thanks Chris CA.
    In the Gen 4 they offer "Settings" then "Reset Settings"  Then it asks, "Do you want to reset your iPod?"  I click on "reset" but then nothing resets. :-(  This is what makes me think it might be locked or something....

  • Some songs will not sync to my iPhone 4s, looks like they are loading but they never do.

    Recently I downloaded some new music and now when I try to sync to my iPhone 4S none of the songs i downloaded are syncing to my phone and even some of the songs that were on my phone are not anymore. On iTunes on "On this phone" or whatever the songs are there but it looks like they are loading even after the sync is over. I would really like some help cause this is really annoying... Thanks!

    Same here, I have a new iPhone 5S and it will not allow me to put any music on it unless I have purchased it from iTunes, even music that I own and have ripped from the CD will not upload to the phone. Really Bloody Annoying!
    Should have stayed with Android!

  • I've purchased songs thru iTunes Store and they will not sync to my iPhone 5.  They show up as if they are in the cloud but wont download to my iPhone, Why?

    So some of my purchased songs from iTunes are not syncing to my iPhone.  Is there a setting or format issue?  If so, how do I change it?  The songs show up on my iPhone as if they synced, but do not play.  There is an icon to the right saying it needs to be downloaded from iCloud and when I click it, it wont download.

    See this older thread for a few possible solutions.

  • I have songs in my iTunes library that I burned from CD's. They play in iTunes and will sync with my iPad. They play fine on the iPad.  However, the songs will not sync to my iPhone 4S.  There are now exclamation points next to songs (can't find source).

    I burned cd's in iTunes. The songs were able to sync and play on my iPad. After this, exclamation points appeared in iTunes on my laptop (unable to find source).  They still play in iTunes but will not sync with my iPhone 4S.  Do some cd's have a limit on the number of times you can copy them or is this an iTunes problem.

    KiwiLouisa - I had the same problem.  I was eventually able to distribute my content that was "Not eligible for iCloud" to my iPhone by switching off ITunes Match in both the ITunes app/machine that hosts my library (my Macbook Pro, in this case) as well as on the device to which I wished to distribute my content (my iPhone 6+).  This opened up the option for my device iTunes Music settings for selecting "Entire Music Library".
    After I successfully transferred *ALL* my music and music videos via iTunes sync, I then again switched on ITunes Match in iTunes on my Macbook and on my iPhone.
    This does not change the iCloud status, but at least I have the content on my iPhone.

  • Podcasts and movies are synced to my iphone but do not show up in menus

    Since upgrading to 5.1.1, I've noticed that movies and podcasts sync to my iphone, but do not show up in the corresponding menus.  I can search for the movies and podcasts and then play them, but when I navigate to the podcast page, it shows none on the iphone.  Same with movies...only the TV episodes show up.
    I have tried restoring to factory settings, and that temporarily fixed the problem, but subsequent syncs seem to have undone whatever was fixed.

    Since no one here can possibly know what you specifically mean by "tried everything that other people are saying", no one can determine what you did wrong.  Also, you didn't say what computer OS you use.
    Read and follow ALL recomendations in the following aritcle appropriat for your computer:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4s. My contacts do not show up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on to backup

    My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4S. My contacts do not turn up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on in my phone.

    Unchecking them won't help, it will only hide them from view.  The issue you're running into is that iCloud doesn't sync contacts from non-iCloud accounts like your exchange and Yahoo accounts.  In order to sync these with iCloud, you would need to copy them to the iCloud account and then disable contact syncing with these other accounts.  (If you didn't disable contacts syncing with these accounts, you would see duplicates of these contacts on your phone -- one from the external account, and one from iCloud.)  If you want to do this, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your other accounts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email before proceeding to step 3.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and confirm that this is set to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Yahoo and your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts.  This will remove the contacts from these accounts from your phone.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from these accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  All your contacts should now be in iCloud and be visible on icloud.com.
