Syncing contacts Keeping changes made from last sync

The last couple of times I've synced my iPhone 3GS, a box has popped up telling me that changes have been made to certain contacts, on my phone, from my last sync (meaning what's on my computer & what's on my phone are different). So it gives me the option to view each contact that's different & decide which version I want synced & kept on my phone. Each time I've done this, I believed I was choosing the right one I wanted. And every time it ends up that it keeps the wrong version, & so I have to go thru each of those contacts & make the changes back to the version I wanted them in. *These changes are usually as harmless as changing a person's last name or changing their number from "mobile" to "iPhone." SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Birth dates for contacts keep changing

I have this weird situation where the birthdates of my contacts keep changing. I noticed this a while back and reset them all, and today I noticed they have changed again. A contact whose birthday is say the 24th of a given month is now displayed as the 22nd. My time zone setting in System Preferences still remains the same - Pacific Daylight - Vancouver, Canada. Anyone got ideas on this?
Thanks
Bren.

Just looked at my iCal and noticed someone's birthday was wrong by a day, so I checked the Address Book contact and sure enough, the birth date has changed again. Could this now be back-loading from my Mobile Me account? Would the answer be to delete the library file again, and reset the sync to Mobile Me from my laptop to make sure that file is current too? The worst part about this is I'll need to get in touch with a lot of people to confirm their birthdays as Address Book has changed it more than once.

One of the users on my Mac book pro, running Mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on

One of the users on my Mac book pro running mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on.
For instance, the Macintosh HD icon, is always moved so that it is almost off the screen to top left hand side of the desktop.
None of my changes to the sidebar in the finder are there.
My changes to the dock have reverted.
Despite unticking the box when logging out, even though i have quit all applications, iphoto and safari are always re-opened.
iphoto always says the library needs to be upgraded... even though i did that the last time.
I have tried deleting ALL the files in the "Saved application state" folder in the library folder, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
This is on a second admin user account.
The main user account seems to be fine.
This account used to be in the filevault on Lion, but is not now in Mountain Lion.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

The same tragic thing happened to me, not even a full two days after I bought it. I immediately powered it off, wiped it as best I could, and put it in front of a fan. I tried valiantly to get the back off, but couldn't remove all the screws. I was basically inconsolable until I realized that no matter what, my credit card insurance would cover it, since it had been less than 90 days. Fast forward 48 hours, and it seemed to run just fine. Some of the keys and the track pad were sticky, and I figured since it was covered, I might as well get it fixed. My only concern at this point was had I voided the Apple Care. I brought it in, told them what happened, said what I needed to satisfy the credit card, and they said, "We'll just swap it out for you, no problem." I was thrilled, and the Genius said they appreciated my honesty, and it was easier for all parties to just do it this way. And my Apple Care was transferred to the new machine. This was my first Mac and, needless to say, I am now an Apple devotee.

Safari keeps opening tabs from last session and Bookmarks and favorites. help?

I recently reset my macbook due to Adware on it. Everything was working fine until yesterday.
I would open safari up and all the tabs from the previous session were open,not only that even the tabs from the session before the previous were open as well. sometimes the pages won't even load??? Ive looked through some of the tabs and a lot of them are my favorites and bookmarks. Im a college student and I depend on my computer a lot please help me. Im really frustrated I can't use the internet. HELP?

What are your settings here? If you have them set to Open with Favorites instead of Empty Page, that means Safari is loading all of your Favorites every time you open a new window or a new tab.
On the first option, is it set to open with "A new window" or "All windows from last session"? That would explain one issue.

ICal events won't keep changes made

I have a late 2013 15in Macbook Pro Retina display, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB hard drive memory. Since my update to Yosemite, my iCal (8.0) has been wigging out. I use my iCal for our finances, specifically when things are due. Well, since the update, whenever I move events, or change the name of the event, iCal will keep the changes temporarily. Sometimes the defaulting will happen when I am still in iCal, but most of the time, it will change it back to the "default" or what I had pre-update when I open back up. I have no idea how to fix this bug, or what is even causing it. I'm up to date on system updates.

I also have this problem and I've completed the following tests to confirm the issue.
Testing between MacBook Pro, iMac and iPhone on the latest OS.
When creating any NEW items on any device, that event does sync to all devices.
When editing any event outside of the web based iCal, it does not sync to the other devices, so the next time it refreshes or syncs, it defaults back to what's on the web based iCal.
I can create new items, but once you edit the item, it will not sync unless that edit was made to the web based ical.
I tried several fixes, on and off, created new calendars and it all falls back to the above scenario.
Please help, as I too use this for finances and when I've pad a bill, I mark is paid with the a mount and date, not it's getting wiped out.
Any help on this is much appreciated.

I'm wondering if someone can help me! My iPhone contacts change, for example one my favourite people they have coloured heart. But on a certain contact it keeps disappearing on my messages but the heart shows when I call, and I look it up in address book.

Keep play lists from last itunes download

My iTunes app won''t open. Unknown error 13010. If I download the app again can I keep all the mixes I've made over the years. My music is on an external HD.

Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?
They do not magically appear on a new computer.

How can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my new macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.

Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.
As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
Many thanks!

Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

Google contact sync keeps thinking 25% of contacts have changed

Hi --
I'm trying to configure my fiance's Macbook Air to sync her contacts with Google and keep getting messages about an unexpectedly large number of contacts being changed. To debug this, I've migrated the address book by hand, and am still getting there error.
Note that the Mac contacts are currently also synching with MobileMe.
Here is how I reproduced the weird behavior:
1. Backup all contacts from both Address Book and Google contacts.
2. Export all Address Book contacts to a group vcard file.
3. Delete all contacts from Google contacts.
4. Import the vcard file from step 2 into Google contacts.
5. Configure Address Book to sync with Google contacts.
6. Select Sync Now from the sync menu.
After a few minutes, a dialog box pops up saying that this sync operation with Google will change more than 25% of my contacts. By my reasoning, there should be no changes since I just uploaded the identical address book by hand. Am I doing something obviously wrong here?
Thanks!
Ramon

Same problem here, but happened on my first sync.

When I sync my iPod Classic, the changes I made (Ratings, Last Listened) do not show up on my computer.

Try another Sync. On occasions, I've know a first Sync to behave like this.

How does one do a two way contacts sync between an iphone and outlook? Most of the community has answered as this to be "always so", but it does not work! Changes made on outlook get done in my iPhone, but it does not work the other way around!

IPhone using Exchange slow to sync changes made in Apple Mail

I searched but didn't see anyone with this particular problem.
When I make a change on my Mac in Mail, say deleting a message from my inbox or moving to another folder, it usually takes hours before that change finally syncs and shows up in my iPhone.
However, there is no problem the other direction. If I move or delete a message on the phone, the change shows up on my phone within one minute.
Any idea why this would be? I hate having junk I've already deleted still on my phone for hours before it goes away! Anyone else seen this issue? Thanks!

However, there is no problem the other direction. If I move or delete a message on the phone, the change shows up on my phone within one minute.
Do you mean a change made on your iPhone is reflected with the Mail.app on your Mac within a minute?
I don't access an Exchange account. I have no problem with this in either direction with my MobileMe account.
Are you accessing your Exhange account as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on your Mac and are you are accessing your Exchange account via ActiveSync with the iPhone's mail client?
If so, not sure this would make any difference, but it might.

My ipod nano 7th gen no longer shows "Playlists" in the music menu. No changes made other than deleting one and adding one playlist to those synced. Synced fine in late February. Not working as of 3/7/2014.

I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
- Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
