Syncing Contacts/Calendar Only

Hello
I just received the new 6 Plus and want to set up as new, instead from back up.
Is there a way to only restore contacts and calendar ? Or do i need to manually reinstall all my contacts and calendar info.
Thank you

If you synced your contacts and calendar to iCloud you can set up your new phone as new and then go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Contacts and Calendars to sync.
If you synced them to your computer via iTunes, the following may help: iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
If you only have a backup to iTunes or iCloud, the restore from those backups is all or nothing.

Contacts & Calendars only sync from my work location

My iPhone syncs contacts & Calendar with my PC when my laptop is at my office - when I leave the office it will not sync at all. Any ideas?

Sorry - I have not used chat before - I'll try to be more specific here. I use a laptop for everything - I don't have a desktop computer, so my laptop comes with me back & forth to home, trips, etc. I use MobileMe to sync between my laptop & iPhone. Calendar & Contact entries sync instantly when I am at my office (my laptop is in a docking station, but I don't think that has anything to do with this problem). BUT, when I leave my office, NOTHING will sync. Two examples: 1) If I leave the office for a meeting or lunch and my laptop stays at the office, calendar & contacts won't sync w/ my iPhone. 2) If I go home & have my laptop with me, nothing syncs.
One theory proposed by one of my friends is that the wireless router in our office somehow automatically connected with MobileMe when we first set up my iPhone, and MobleMe will only communicate through that router. If that is true, I don't have a clue how I can change that.
I hope this is a little more descriptive of the issue. Thanx for staying with me on this!

Syncing contacts/calendars of 2 phones on 1 computer [win XP]

My wife and I recently got iphones (yay!!). However, we only have on computer at home running outlook 2007 and every time we sync contacts/calendars we get all of each others info. I tried creating groups in outlook, but they are not showing up in itunes (i'm only getting the all contacts option, not groups). I've been trying to figure this out most of the day, any help is greatly appreciated.

I wonder if the original poster might be able to do it with manual sync and (admittedly) a bit of inconvenience. I have my iPhone set up to sync manually on two different machines, one for my music and the other for my laptop's iCal. But I didn't want all of the individual calendars of my laptop's iCal assortment to sync to the 'phone, so I checked "sync selected calendars" and toggled just the ones I wanted to cart around on my iPhone.
Maybe the OP could set up the iPhones for manual syncing, and on the Info tab check off selected calendars to sync with his phone before hitting the sync button. It may be a pain to have to remember to change the checkboxes for the His and Hers calendars, but it might be worth a try. (And make sure you have the right destination calendar -- again in the Info tab -- for the appointments made on your iPhone when you are syncing back to the laptop iCal. You don't want your appointments showing up in her calendar...)
Hope this helps.

Q10 sync queries - calendar only

Trying to use the q10 more efficiently...:
Is it possible to sync only/only the calendar or only/only contacts, but not both at the same time?
With the old Curve, I was able to select to sync only the calendar or only the contacts but BB Link seems to force us to sync both calendar and contacts. I want to be able to choose to sync only the calendar. Grateful if someone could tell me what I am missing ....

Verizon 755p; using Versamail; cant sync contacts & calendar

I am having a sync conflict....
I HAD been able to sync Contacts & Calendar via USB but once I started using Treo for emails, have been unable to sync ever since. Very frustrating. Hours upon hours trying to figure it out.
Went to advanced settings in Wireless Sync (to "Enable other sync apps") but still can't sync to Palm Desktop. I am using Versamail for my two gmail accounts. No need to use Wireless Sync.. Can I just delete WS?
Any suggestions please?

Hello tweetie and welcome to the Palm forums.
Did you check the Verizon Wireless Sync software for settings that disable wired sync support? I have a Sprint Treo and I can't test this out for you. Other posters have reported similar issues and the Wireless Sync software settings are sometimes the cause for the inability to perform a wired sync of calendar and contacts.

HT201104 Can you sync contacts/calendar on ios 7 device after upgrading to iCloud drive?

I have an iphone 4 (ios 7, can't get 8). I don't care about accessing documents on iCloud drive with my phone.
I might want to do it with my ipad mini (ios8.1) though.
If I upgrade to iCloud drive will I still be able to sync contacts/calendar on my iphone?

I cloud drive IS not the SAME as I cloud you use for backups. I cloud drive is for moving docs, pics, etc. So if you upgrade to iCloud drive, yes you can still sync contacts, calendars, etc

Versamail Exchange ActiveSync wireless push e-mail ONLY; Sync Contacts/Calendar via Desktop/USB

I use a 3rd party conduit, PalmPilot Link for Commence RM CRM software from Commence Corp. which works with the Palm Desktop sync engine to sync my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos. Recently I tested VersaMail 3.5.5 on my Rogers Treo 680 (despite zero support from Rogers) with push e-mail and loved it until I discovered I could no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar with Commence. Even with the options in VersaMail to sync Contacts and the Calendar unchecked they would not sync via the USB cable to Commence.
I have come across Palm Article ID: 42600 which states "Once you establish an Exchange ActiveSync account in VersaMail, you will not be able to sync Calendar, Contacts or Email through the USB HotSync cable". It would be nice if this wasn't the case when synching of Contacts and the Calendar are turned off. A call to technical support confirmed there is no way to do what I need with the current product version.
I have found a competitive product, RoadSync from DataViz does allow me to sync ONLY e-mail with ActiveSync so it would seem to be technically possible. The problem with RoadSync is it's not a true push e-mail on the Treo 680 as far as I can tell and it seems a little pricey with fewer features than VersaMail, except for one feature which is very important to anyone who depends on 3rd party conduits.
Please consider releasing a new version or a patch to allow synching Contacts and the Calendar via USB while using Exchange ActiveSync push e-mail.
Note: The Commence CRM product for Windows has been around for almost 20 years and has supported the Palm OS for about 10 years. Commence users everywhere would love this feature in VersaMail. I do not work for Commence Corp. but have been a user since 1991 and a Palm user since 1999.

Share contacts + calendar ONLY?

Is there any way to share ONLY my iCloud contacts and calendar with another person? Do they need their own iCloud account for this?
Hired my first employee and bought her a Mac Mini. I do all my work on my iMac, iPhone and iPad. I want to give her access to my iCloud Contacts and Calendar so she can enter appointments, tasks and contacts on the Mini and they'll populate on my iMac and my iPhone. And vice-versa -- I'd like to be able to assign appointments or tasks to her Calendar.
She does not have an iCloud account. Would she need one? I noticed in System Preferences > Users & Groups that you can associate an Apple ID with a user profile, but I'm not sure if that's the same as an iCloud account?
It seems if I input my iCloud credentials on the Mini via System Preferences > iCloud, it would also add my mail account to Mail, which I don't want to do since she has her own email address she's using (company domain).
Slightly confused on the best way to do this without tripping over my own ignorance.

If she created her own iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud on her Mac and signing in with her Apple ID, you could privately share your calendars with each other with read and write access as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.
Contacts would be more difficult to share. To access your contacts, she would need to sign into your account and enable contact syncing. However, when she does this, her conacts would be merged with yours. A better solution would probably be to create a Gmail account, import your contacts to the account, and have her add the Gmail account to her Mac and enable contact syncing. This would isolate just the contacts and would not merge hers with yours. If you want to do this, you would need to download your iCloud contacts as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), import the vCard to Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en), then add the Gmail account to her Mac in System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>Google, then check Contacts.

IPhone 3G cannot sync contacts/calendar with iTunes 7.7 in Vista

My environment:
Computer - PC
OS - Windows XP Pro SP2
Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2003
Laptop Vaio FZ21M
OS - Windows Vista SP1
Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2007
When I connect my iPhone 3G to the laptop, iTunes launch, but in Info tab I don't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. The only message that appears is "Your contacts are being pushed to your iPhone over the air from Microsoft Exchange"
On the other hand when I connect iPhone 3G to desktop with Windows XP SP2, I get the option to sync contacts with Outlook/Gmail Address Book/Yahoo Address Book, etc. Today I performed an update to iTunes, installing version 7.7.046 ,but the problem persists.
A collegue of mine has excactly the same problem, he is also using a laptop running Windows Vista SP1 , iTunes 7.7 but Outlook 2003 instead. When he connects iPhone 3G, he doesn't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. Email sync option is available.
Is there anything we can do?

I had the same problem with my 3G phone. I solved it as follows
1) Go to preferences in your address book and delete the iCloud. This will revert your address book to 'On My Mac'.
2) Turn off your iCloud account in system preferences.
3) Run iTunes, enable sync contacts and under advanced, replace information on this phone, enable contacts.
4) Press apply button and sync should begin. Itunes will now load your contact file into the phone.
5) Re-enable your iCloud account.

Sync contacts/calendar problem with 160gb classic

I've been unable to successfully sync contacts and calendars with my Windows PC (running XP).
I am using software version 1.1.1 and iTunes version 7.6.0.29.
When I try and sync with my Outlook calendar, the iPod/iTunes appears to be syncing. When I disconnect the iPod and look in the calendar, no events are saved. When trying to sync contacts, I check the "sync contacts from" box and then pull down to "microsoft outlook". As soon as I attempt to hit the "microsoft outlook" pull-down, iTunes freezes. I've not had any issues syncing music, podcasts, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help!

The easy way is just to do a restore. In the future, I wouldn't work on my iTunes library files while the iPod is connected. It seems to me that iTunes already uses a HUGE chunk of system resources, and having the iPod connected just uses even more. Then when you start changing ID3 tags ("Get Info"), it can really cause the system to CHUG. If you don't believe me, try just changing one ID3 tag on a 1.5GB movie file. iTunes practically takes over the computer until it's darned good and ready to do something else.
Or, I'd download [Tagger|http://tvtagger.wordpress.com>, which doesn't use nearly as many resources as iTunes, and allows you to edit many more ID3 fields than iTunes does.

Outlook Sync (Contacts/Calendar) Issues - Progress today........

Folks,
I posted another earlier discussion on this topic over the weekend, but since I got my iPhone on Friday, I have probably burned about 20 hours working trying to figure out why I cannot sync my calendar and contacts from Office 2003 "OR" 2007 into my iPhone. When I started this process, 584 of my 1310 contacts did sync, I had NO luck on getting any of calendar items to sync.
Today we resolved the Contact issue!!! Still working on the calendar issues and if anyone has any further ideas, I am open to it, but it appears for both the contacts and calendar issues, I had corrupt data. You dont know it until encounter it this way.
Here is what you need to do in order to get the contacts to sync, it worked for me, hopefully it will work for many after me:
1. Export "ALL" of your contacts to a .CSV (Comma Separated Value for Windows) file. Just export them to your desktop or somewhere easy to find them. As an extra safety net to ensure you dont lose your contacts, back them up also to a .XLS file as well as a .PST file.
2. Delete "ALL" your contacts out of Outlook. Sync Outlook, especially if your like me and have your contacts and calendar on a corporate exchange server. Be sure you clear your iPhone so there is no contacts on it.
3. Import the .CSV file to a VCARD file, sync to your coporate server, sync your iTunes and you should now see all your contacts.
Again, it worked for me and hopefully it works for you.
Good Luck!!

Everyone is waiting for this.
Right now you cannot sync locally between your phone and your desktop. You are forced to upload your contacts to another company's server (read "the cloud") and then download them from whatever device you didn't upload them from.
Still waiting for this fix please.

HT4759 Can I use the Icloud to sync contacts, calendar and notes on my Iphone 4s with ios7?

Most of my info seems to automatically back up to the cloud automatically and at once point my address book must have also but I am no longer able to sync the updated address book to my icloud. This as also been a problem with notes and other apple aps. I do not have an Icloud app on my phone but in the systems folder where it shows the icon on the computer it says mobile me which I do not have. Does this mean I need to pay the $20 upgrade fee to go to mountain lion and if i have to upgrade is that the best one to update too? what major changes will i see when I do this and will it cause a problem with any of my current info on my phone such as contacts and calendar?

Yes, to sync with iCloud on your Mac you will need to upgrade.
You can certainly upgrade to Mountain Lion but OS X Mavericks is due out within the next month so it may be worth it to wait. In the meantime you can access your iCloud contacts, calendars, etc... from iCloud.com. Sign in with your Apple ID.
Here is more info on Mavericks: Apple - OS X Mavericks - Do even more with new apps and features.

IPod Nano 3rd Gen. Problems [Rebooting, Won't Sync Contact/Calendar Data]

I have noticed that my iPod nano will reboot itself after it has been syncing/charging. It reboots when I go to the last playlist that was playing before I began to sync/charge it. Also, it would randomly reboots when I am selection a playlist.
Then, it won't sync my contact/calendar data if it nearly full. But I can sync them when it is nearly empty.
What is causing the problem and how can I fix it?

if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...

Syncing contacts/calendars on multiple iPod Touch using 1 Apple ID

My wife and I each have an iPod Touch (5th gen) connected to a single Apple ID.
We each have our own calendars and contacts and do not want to mix them together. Unfortunately, I had already upgraded our iMac to 10.9. Contacts and calendars now go through iCloud (grumph!) instead of the local computer.
Is there anyway to keep our calendars and contacts separate without adding another Apple ID? That would make managing our music collection impossible.
Any help would be appreciated.

Create a NEW account/ID using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on one deviceiPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Settings>GameCenter
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
