Syncing iphone - one way only?

I am finding that any information I input into my iphone does not get synced to my computer, only the other way around. Is this normal, or should it actually exchange information both ways?
thanks

got it - though it wasn't clearly spelled out in the article, I re-set the 'sync calendar' to "don't sync", applied it, then reset to 'sync calendar' again, applied again and the old settings were erased. Thanks for the push in the right direction.

Calendar and Contact Sync: Force one way only?

Is there any way to force Outlook to always be the sync "master"? i.e. regardless of what I do on the touch (say, delete a contact), when I sync, the touch will be forced to match Outlook (and replace the contact)?
Or is that the default behavior, and I have some other issue?
I have had a couple of instances of appointments being deleted from Outlook during the sync (I think the "do not sync appts older than 30 days" really means "delete" them in outlook")

You are able to export your contacts and import them to your Gmail account. Below is a very good post that will provide you the steps to export the contacts using Backup Assistant and then import them to your Gmail account.
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-Incredible-by-HTC/export-contacts-to-gmail/m-p/285574/highlight/true#M12187
Please note, you must have Backup Assistant on your device to be able to export the contacts.
In regards to the calendar, you can view other calendars by following the steps listed below:
1. Select the Calendar icon
2. Select Menu
3. Select More
4. Select Calendars
5. Select the calendars that you want to display

Get photos from iPhone one-way into iPhoto

I want to be able to load pics from my iPhone one-way-only into iPhoto *without* loading the iPhoto pics back into the iPhone...
How do I do that, please?
thanks

Still works for me
on an e-mail with photos attached go to the Save button next to the attachments list, point to the triangle to the right of Save inside the button and hold the left mouse button down - a menu will appear with save all at the top entry, a list of photos below that and "add to iPhoto" as the bottom entry - move your pointer down to the "add to iPhoto" and release and your photo will be a new event in iPhoto

ICloud - iphone, One way Sync contacts Only

hello everyone please help me,
my synchonisation of contacts between iPhone and iCloud is one way only.
Contacts created on my iPhone do not sync with iCloud but contacts created in iCloud sync ok wth iphone.
Calendar entries sychronise ok between iPhone and iCloud
i am using iPhone5, IOS 7.04

Thank you Chris CA for your reply,
I have tryed both of these and they did not solve the problem
I am creating Dummy contacts on Gmail, iCloud and iPhone.
contacts created on iCloud and Gmail are copyed on my iphone.
contacts created on my iPhone DO NOT get copyed on iCloud and Gmail
any changes made into existing contacts of Gmail and iCloud do get synchronised correctly
so the issue is only how to synchronise contacts from iPhone to other accounts

Can someone explain to me why iTunes will only sync photos ONE WAY from my PC to my iPhone, and not vice versa?

I have photos on my iPhone and want to put them on my PC. Should be straightforward, right?
So I go ahead and install iTunes, and plug in my phone, and sure enough iTunes tells me I've got 1610 photoes on my iPhone. It won't let me actually SEE them, of course. Fine (no, not really fine). So I create a blank folder on my PC and proceed to do a sync. My options are to (a) Sync FROM "My Pictures" to the phone, or (b) choose another and sync FROM my PC TO the phone.
Where is the option to sync FROM my phone TO my PC????
It boggles my mind that I have to go outside of iTunes and use Windows Explorer to copy the photos from the phone to the computer. So I go to "My Computer" and within the iphone Internal Storage there is only a DCIM folder and two sub-folders. There are only 800 photos there! Where are the other ones?
Evidently what I can see from Windows Explorer is ONLY the pictures I took with the phone itself, and NOT the pictures I saved from email attachments or instant messages! Why? Where are they and how can I access them???
SO far, the closest thing I have been able to find is to have to buy a third party App like "Simple Transfer" to do this. Is this really the case? Or am I missing something?

Photo sync is only one way, computer to iPhone.
To get pictures from the iPhone to the computer, copy them to the computer as you would with any other device.
Pictures saved from emails or instant messages (if done on the device) are in the camera roll.
Pictures previously synced to the device from a computer are not available to be copied off the device. They should already be on a computer.

HT1670 Sync iPhone/Entourage will only recognize one of my two iPhones?

I have two iPhones. One I have managed to sync no problem, but the second is just not interested! A friend told me that with iPhone/Entourage will only recognize one iPhone, if so is there anything I can do to sync my second phone?

Hi, Darcie13.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Ovi Suite & Bookmark sync = one way only

I tried to sync bookmarks between Firefox and C6-00. Ovi Suite proudly announced syncing to be complete. But I only found it had added the phone's bookmarks to Firefox. No new bookmarks appeared in the phone's web browser.
How do I get the sync work both ways?
I tried the PC sync from the phone (what's that supposed to do anyway?) by Bluetooth but that didn't work 'cause Windows (64-bit Win7) didn't find a driver for the phone.

Hi roz_n97. In Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0, photos are synced only one way from device to Nokia Ovi Suite photo library. Additionally, you can transfer your content from Nokia Ovi Suite photo library to device by drag'n'drop. Select photos that you want to get into your device and drag'n'drop those into device icon shown in Nokia Ovi Suite.
What comes to other content types, for example Notes, Contacts and Calendar - we're supporting two-way sync. We've vision, where your content is always available, in device, in Nokia Ovi Suite, in ovi.com, simple and effortless way. When we designed Nokia Ovi Suite, we noticed that current sync settings in Nokia PC Suite are pretty complex for end users and we wanted to give users simple way to keep content in sync.

Ovi Suite 2 - can you sync one way only?

In the old PC Suite, you could set it to automatically back-up all the photos on the phone to the PC. In OS2 this doesn't seem possible, all syncing (especially in this case - the photos) are both ways. Now I do NOT want all the photos on my PC on my phone, so...
...is there a way to set up one-way (Phone > PC) syncing on OS2?
Cheers,

Started to grind to a halt until I hard reset it - still a lot slowly than my wife's iP4

Active Syn works one way only with calendar

I need some help. I have a Treo755P with Sprint and I remotely syn my email, contacts, and calendar with my office Exchange Server. Everything works great except my Outlook calendar only syns "one way!" Input into my Outlook Calendar syns with my Treo755 Calendar, HOWEVER, input into my Outlook Calendar DOES NOT syns back to my Treo755. By the way everything else syns fine both ways!!! I have checked with our Exchange Server Administrator and everything is going on fine from there end, so it seems to be in the phone. I just discoved this issue but it appears by my Outlook Calendar that it has been going on a few months. Please help.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
One thing you can try is delete the server sync profile and then recreate it. Make sure you have all the server information needed before doing this. I'll continue researching this issue for other means of resolution.

Synchronizing one way only

Hello,
I have been struggling trying to figure out how to configure the BB desktop software to synchronize data only one way, from Outlook to the device, i.e. applying MS Outlook updates and additions to the device and not vice versa.
I went through the sync operation many times a few thousand entries in the address book). I experimented with the settings asking to accept changes/additions one-by-one and applying the same setting to all future changes but I have not been able to configure and execute a "one-way" syncronization operation.
Any help in explaining what I am doing wrong, and how I could achieve a one-way (Outlook >>> device) synchronization operation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Alex Donnini
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Go to synchronization, upper left hand corner is synchronization configuration, click on it. The grey "reset configuration" radio button
will be active now, press it. It says :resetting configuration information') now go back and click on the synchronization
configuration button. You are now taken to the setup wizard. On each option on the bottom it says "two sync" as a default option.
You can see where you can change it to one way, either to device or to outlook.
Thanks

One way only video on ichat with aim to pc

I can only get one way video. I have a imac and my friend has a pc. He downloaded aim 6.8 and I also got an aim account. When we try to video conference with ichat he can see me fine but I can't see him. He also has a built in camera. The instant messenger also works fine. I would certainly appreciate any suggestions.
Terry

He should go to the AIM Preferences And the Enhanced IM button and select the camera (At least that was what it was in AIM 6.1 and 6.5)

Flash Builder 4 and Catalyst workflow: one-way only?

If I initially create an application in FB4 and save the .fxp project file, I am unable to open that file in FC. Does this mean the workflow is only one-way: from designer to developer? In the real world, a project goes back and forth from/to developers and designers.

IPod Nano, downloading music - one way only??

Hi
I have just bought an iPod Nano (one of the earlier versions) and I have a question.
I know with iPod Classic, you can only load music onto the iPod from iTunes and that it DOES NOT work the other way round.
The Nano I have bought has come with 330 songs on it, but if they are not in my iTunes, will these be lost when I next try to put my own music onto the Nano??
Thanks in advance.
Andrea.

Still is one way, and you will lose these songs. But they aren't yours anyway so Restore the Nano and load your own music.

Bonjour video issues (one way only!)

Interesting... Using a MacBook and a MacBook Pro on the same network using an Airport Extreme (n) base station. No firewalls... same subnet...
If we video chat via AIM, it works fine... both ways.
When we chat via Bonjour... both computers can "see" each other in the Bonjour pane. Also, we can text chat both ways--that works fine.
When the MacBook initiates the video chat, everything connects fine and works great.
However, when the MacBook Pro initiates the video chat, it pops up correctly on the MacBook... but when he clicks "Accept," it pauses for a moment and then gives a "communication error -8".
Weird! I feel like all the settings are correct since the video chat works one way (when the MacBook itself initiates) but it doesn't want to work the other way around.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Mac Firewall is in System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall tab
If it is On then it is best to set the iChat ports.
This is done by clicking New
Selecting Other in the drop down
Filling in the requisite TCP and UDP ports
Giving the entry a name in the Description line
Apply.
See the Second pic here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_ports
If these have been done then they should appear in the scrollable list when you get to the firewall.
