Syncing will change more than 25% of contacts, to add "display type"?

Hi all.
Suddenly I'm getting this warning on a phone I've synced numerous times before. The warning shows that 145 contacts will change on the computer, and the only change is that "Display type" will change from <empty> to "Person".
I suppose this happened with an iTunes update, and Apple decided that it wasn't permissible to have this field empty.

The only ways to avoid that issue are either to disable syncing of the iPhone's calendar, or reset the iPhone's sync data by overwriting it with the computer's data. If you do this, any new calendar items added to the iPhone since your last sync will be lost.
To reset the sync data plug in the iPhone. Open iTunes. Click the Edit menu, then Preferences, then the Devices tab, then click "reset sync history."

Syncing will change more than 5% of your calendars on this computer

Hi all,
I'm new to iPhone, but very familiar with Mac. When I attempt to sync my iPhone to my calendars in iTunes I get the message that syncing "will change more than 5% of the calendars on this computer."
What's this mean?
I always hit cancel because I don't want to lose any calendar info on my Mac.
I'm attempting to sync 9 or 10 iCal calendars.
I'm sure this has been well covered in these forums, but I'm able to find my answer.
Thanks!

What's this mean?
Basically you have more or newer info on one side of the syncing devices.
Click on Details when you get this message and you'll see the entries that differ on the phone based calendars. One solution could be to set up your calendar on your computer as desired and replace the calendar info on the phone during the next sync. Click the option in the info pane/ advanced section in itunes with your phone connected.

Syncing iPhone will change more than 5% of your contacts?

Now when I try to sync my iPhone with my Mac I get the message that more than 5% of my contacts will be changed. I want to keep what's on my Mac and write that to my iPhone. How can I do this? Thanks....

What the program is telling you is that you have more than 5 for every 100 new contacts, changes within your contacts, contact deletions, etc.
It is merely giving you a "heads up" that there are more than just "a few" changes to your contacts list. It, and iCal, should follow up that page saying how many additions, changes, and deletions occurs within that 5%.
For instance, when i add 1 month of my work schedule and sync it to my iPhone, I get that message, as it is adding 30 brand new additions to my phone.
Does that make sense?
As above, the suggestion if you are really concerned for overwriting, or just totally neurotic, is appropriate - making routine backups.
Or just wait until next week for Leopard for your next sync, and Time machine will make sure you never ever delete a contact by mistake.
Good Luck

Sync Alert - Change more than 5%

Hi all,
I am currently syncing between a MacBook Pro, a PowerBook G4 and a Sony Ericsson cell phone. Quite often on the laptops, I receive the error that states, "more than 5% of your calendar/contacts will be changed... are you sure you want to sync?" In most cases, only 1 or 2 items are being changed, yet I have hundreds of contacts and many more calendar items. In other words, much less than 5% of my items are being changed.
This become more than a minor frustration when one of my laptops is stuck on this warning, which prevents my other laptop from syncing. I don't always have the other laptop with me, so at that point, iSync is dead in the water.
Is there a problem here, or a way to change this warning? What might be going on?
Thanks,
-Keith

One of your free-standing computers being 'stuck' with this notice in the foreground will not prevent the remainder of your synchronization pool from interacting, and has nothing at all to do with iSync. iSync is simply the client responsible for interchanging data between supported mobile handsets, smartphones and Palm organizers and the Address Book and iCal applications. Nothing more.
It may be that the truth database on board one of your laptops is corrupted or outdated, or has become non-responsive to synchronization requests from other clients through .Mac Sync or a similar conduit. To deal with this, you should determine which of the machines is more likely the problematic one, and reset the framework using iSync on that machine. To do so, launch iSync, open the Preferences… dialog, press the Reset Sync History… button and follow any instructions which appear.
Once completed, synchronize—which will initiate a first time, slow synchronization and merge all client data, then synchronize again upon completion of that process, about five minutes after the first task has been completed. That should provide sufficient time to trigger other events across .Mac Sync or similar conduits, though your chosen interval determines the likely actual period of time you must wait until synchronization returns to normal.
You can also adjust the threshold which triggers this message in iSync in the same Preferences… dialog. But, choose your warning level carefully, and only after you have performed the reset.

Syncing with MobilMe will change more than 50% of your Keychains....

I keep getting this message. This keeps popping up in spite of me doing the following:
Running Keychain First Aid to verify/repair any problems
Resetting Sync by having the Mac overwrite the keychains on mobileme and then having the other Mac overwrite its keychain with mobileme data
I am a bit stumped over why this keeps cropping up so often. Is it related to MobileMe?
Thanks

Yes, it's related to MobileMe (not iSync) - the MobileMe forums are here:

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed

When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer" most of which are years old and many are recurring events. I'm afraid to proceed with sync.

Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

Synch will change more then 25% of your bookmarks on this computer

I'm trying to backup my ipad and when I do I get a message saying synch will change more then 25% of your bookmarks on this computer
I am trying to keep my bookmarks on icloud so my macbook my iphone and my ipad can all have the same book marks.
The only thing I've done lately is delete a folder in my bookmarks in safari on my macbook, its saying that 14230 will be deleted and 587 will be added.
Is this the result from deleteing that folder, i can't see there have been that many book marks in that one folder.
Also everytime i synch my ipad it seems that it keeps downloading the same apps all over again.
Whats the deal with this?

How come free memory will be more than physical memory?

Hello Guruz,
Interesting, I installed one zone with 1Gb dedicated memory, But when I type top command I am getting o/p as below.
Memory: 1024M phys mem, 1972M free mem
How come free memory will be more than physical memory?
If that so, how can we get exact memory utilization on non-global zones.
Thanks in advance.

RegionRenderer encodeAll The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance.

Hi,
I am using JDEV 11.1.2.1.0
I am getting the following error :-
<RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.
Piece of code is for region is:-
   <f:facet name="second">
                                            <af:panelStretchLayout id="pa1"
                                                                   binding="#{backingBeanScope.Assign.pa1}">

                                            </af:panelStretchLayout>
                                        </f:facet>
How do I resolve it ?
Thanks,

Hi,
I see at least 3 errors
1. <RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components.
the page fragment should only have a single component under the jsp:root tag. If you see more than one, wrap them in e.g. an af:panelGroupLayout or af:group component
2. SAPFunction.jspx/.xml" has an invalid character ".".
check the document (you can open it in JDeveloper if the customization was a seeded one. Seems that editing this file smething has gone bad
3. The expression "#{bindings..regionModel}" (that was specified for the RegionModel "value" attribute of the region component with id "pePanel") evaluated to null.
"pageeditorpanel" does seem to be missing in the PageDef file of the page holding the region

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Syncing iPhone with more than one Mac

Up to now I've synced my iPhone with just one of my Macs, the main desktop machine that sits at home. However, when I'm away from home for more than a few days I miss the ability to sync podcasts, applications and do backups.
Is there a way of syncing the phone with a second (or third) Mac without having to have the full iTunes library on those computers? I would like to be able to backup the phone, sync apps and podcasts. Music and videos do not matter as long as the sync doesn't wipe existing copies from the phone. Incidentally, I use MobileMe for syncing calendars and contacts, so that isn't an issue. Any guidance would be appreciated.

<edited by host>

I think that without the steps in that 'minefield' the iPhone will detect a change of Mac and even if all the content is on the other Mac, it will all have to be re-loaded onto the phone. Probably not a good idea to keep the library remotely, I expect. But, copying the whole library may work - if you have the time, it's worth a try. Just sync the iPhone to your desktop machine first so the backup is updated, then copy over the library to the portable, then try syncing there. If it works, great. If not, you can Restore the iPhone from the desktop if you need to.

Syncing iphone using more than one computer

Does anyone know how to get iphone to sync to more than one computer? I activated my wife's iphone from my computer (after having logged into her itunes account) but when I try to sync from her computer (logged into her account) nothing happens.

You can, but you can only sync one type of information with each computer. Here are the instructions I followed to sync my two computers. Hope they help.
How to Sync with Two Computers
You can sync your iPhone with only ONE media library. However, it is possible to sync the media library with one computer (like your home computer), and the contacts/calendar information with another computer (like your work computer). I have this working on two PCs with Windows XP. I have read posts of folks doing it with two Macs, and with one Mac and one PC.
This is not sanctioned by Apple, so I dont know if these steps are "correct". I only know that these are the steps I followed and worked for me. Your mileage may vary.
1. Select "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones" under Edit / Preferences / iPhone in the iTunes menu.
2. Uncheck "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" in the Summary tab of iTunes.
3. Check "Only sync checked items" in the same tab.
4. On the computer you want to sync contacts and calendar, check the corresponding boxes in the Info tab. UNCHECK everything else in the MUSIC, PHOTOS, PODCASTS and VIDEO tabs.
5. Sync your iPhone with this computer FIRST.
6. On your other computer, follow the same steps above (1, 2 and 3). Then, UNCHECK everything in the INFO tab, and check everything else on the other tabs.
7. When you sync with this second computer, you may get a message that the iPhone has already been synced with another computer, and that the media library will be deleted. Fine. There should be NO media library on the iPhone since you unchecked all the media items on the first computer, right?
8. Sync. Then you can sync on both computers and each will sync what is checked and not overwrite the rest.

N79 showing no more than 92 SIM Contacts after lat...

After I've updated my N79 to the latest firmware 30.019 I found that its showing no more than 92 contacts from my SIM card (about 240 contacts), and as I store all the contacts on it then I have no option but finding a way or another to store all of them on the phone ... I'm not pleased by this as i try to put all the contacts on the SIM in case of empty battery of something like that.
Please anyone have the same problem or anyone have an idea about how to fix it.
Note: I've tried to reupdate it via NSU and to do a hard reset but in vain

Hi,
I am facing the same problem after updating to 30.019 my N79 was displaying only 91 contacts while in the contacs info its was showing 206 contacts on sim.
I have resolved this problem using following steps
1 Take backup of all phone contacts using the OVI after successful backup.
3 Change contact setting to display only phone contacts
4.Delete all contacts from the phone. Now ther are only 91 (actual 206) contacts from sim and 0 from phone.
5.Change contact setting to display sim contacts.
6.Copy these 91 contacts to phone and delete these 91 contacts from the sim.
7.Change contact setting to display phone and sim contacts.
7.Reboot the phone now phone is showing next 91 contacts from sim and 91 copied contacts from the phone (actual no may differ depsnding upon the actual contacts in the sim).
8.Change contact setting to display sim contacts.
9.Copy these 91 contacts to phone and delete these 91 contacts from the sim.
10.Change contact setting to display phone and sim contacts.
11.Reboot the phone now phone is showing next 24 (206 - (91 + 91)) contacts from sim and 182 (91 +91) copied contacts from the phone (actual no may differ depsnding upon the actual contacts in the sim).
12.Change contact setting to display sim contacts.
13.Copy these 24 contacts to phone and delete these 24 contacts from the sim.
10.Change contact setting to display phone and sim contacts.
11.Reboot the phone now phone is showing 0 (206 - (91 + 91 + 24)) contacts from sim and 206 (91 +91 +24) copied contacts from the phone (actual no may differ depsnding upon the actual contacts in the sim).
12 go to contacts mark all contacts from the phone and select 'create backup' option , phone will ask this will erase all data from the Sim card' select 'ok' and take backup.
13 go to contacts marl all contacts and copy to sim. now there are 206 contacts on sim and 206 on phone.
14 Change contact setting to display phone contacts.
15 Delete all 206 contacts.
16 Change contact setting to display phone and sim contacts. Now there are 206 contacts from sim (in the contacts info 206 and actual displaying 206).
17 connect mobile to pc and restore oroginal phone contacts (back up in the step 1) using ovi suite.
After this you will have all your phone and sim contacts.

Sync Apps on more than one computer

How do I have my ITunes apps available to me on more than one computer? I have all my ITunes purchases currently stored on my PC but I now also have a MacBook Pro and would like all my apps available to me on this so that I can sync my Iphone with which ever machine I choose.
thanks

Iphone will sync to only one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will erase the itunes content from the iphone first, then replace with itunes content from the new computer.
Unlike music, you can re-download apps:

Syncing will change more than 25% of contacts, to add "display type"?
