Syncing with windows 7

I got a new windows 7 computer and it seems that my syncing takes forever. Much longer then it did on my old XP computer. Is anyone else having this same problem? If so how can I fix this problem.

No, actually much faster on my Windows 7 machine compared to my old XP machine.
When you said "seems taking forever" how much is "forever?" 1-minute? 1-hour?
You could always restore as new re-add items to see if that improves. That is what I did after getting a new computer and new iPhone.

  • Help BB Q10 - syncing with windows 7 contacts

    I've just bought a BB Q10 (for me) AND a BB Z10 (for she who must e obeyed) Both are set up to sync via BB link (1.1.1.41) with windows 7 contacts on our respective laptops. The Z10 sync's without any problem BUT the Q10 will not sync and comes up with the error code of 2511 'error converting Unicode string to or from code page string'. A web search says this is a known fault and that a fix is on its way BUT this was dated March 2013. Does anyone know of a fix OR when the BB fix will be available?

    Steve:
    For my Z30...
    I received the error code 5211 when attempting my first sync with BBLink and my Z30.  My data file included about 1400 contacts so I took a stab at parsing the task.  Rather than trying to synch the entire contact list I broke the task down to blocks of 117 and completed the task over multiple syncs.  I also suspected a mapping error so in conjunction with the "sync-in-nibbles" technique I also remapped some questionable fields that I thought may be confusing the process.  I don't know if both or just one of these was the remedy but I did get the sync completed and subsequent syncs have been trouble free. 
    A caveate to the above....which may or may not apply to your situation.
    BBLink would not recognize Outlook, ie, Outlook was not offered as a sync option via BBlink.  I was offered only Windows Contacts as a sync option and this folder is typically empty.  So, to skirt this problem I exported my Outlook Contacts as CSV to an intermediate folder.  I then imported the CSV file into Windows Contacts which, during the import, converted the CSV file into 1400 individual x.contact records.  I then used BBLink to sync my Z30 with the Windows Contact folder and transferred all contacts to the Z30 without a hitch.  To verify that contacts modified on the Z30 would update in Outlook, I performed another sync with Windows Contacts.  I verified that the changes did xfer and new contacts were added to Win Contacts as expected.  Next, I exported the Windows Contact files to a new Folder as a CSV file.  I then used Outlook to import the CSV file and I verified that the edits made on the Z30 did appear in Outlook.  Sync Complete! Whew!  Its really not that bad to perform once I had a process tuned.  
    I purge the Windows Contact folder before importing each new CSV file.  Actually, I simply move thm to a purgatory folder until I am sure I no longer need them then I purge. 
    Windows Contacts is available with Vista and Win 7.
    For all you folks who have Win 7 or Vista and can't sync with Outlook, try the above process using Windows Contacts.  Hope it eases the pain.

  • I have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing   wht to do???

    i have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing   wht to do???

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • Tungsten t3 will not sync with Windows 7 64 bit using cradle sync

    Tungsten t3 will not sync with Windows 7 64 bit using cradle sync any suggestions?

    Try a low-tech solution.  Check the condition of the HotSync port connection on both the T3 and the cradle.
    Look for any possible corrosion, coating, or bent fingers in the cradle.  Sometimes a good cleaning with either Contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol can work miracles!   (Use a q-tip swabbed in it, do not pour it onto the PDA).

  • When will itunes sync with windows 8

    when will ipod classic sync with windows 8

    Apple has not announced any updates to iTunes for Windows 8 compatibility. Perhaps iTunes 11, expected sometime this month, but we won't know until Apple provides specific system requirements and compatibility information.

    Hi Dollie,
    I am wondering whether you want to upload multiple documents into SharePoint library once.
    If yes, you can try to use Drag and drop feature in SharePoint 2013 to upload multiple documents into SharePoint library.
    More information about Drag and drop feature, you can refer to:

  • TS1347 How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S?

    How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S?  I want to move my email contact information from Windows Mail to my iPhone 4S

    You don't need Outlook to sync contacts. You do have Windows Contacts available which is a supported address book application for syncing contacts with the iPhone.
    Windows Live Mail is not an email client. Windows Live Mail is an email account that can be accessed via webmail access using a browser or with an email client such as with Outlook or Windows Mail on a PC.
    You can export your Windows Live Mail contacts from your Windows Live Mail online address book for import into the Windows Contacts address book application on your PC which is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone.

  • N8 Sync with Windows Live!!!

    Hi All,
    Any idea if N8 can be synced with Windows Live or not yet?? It really s***s that I am not able to sync with Windows live still after such a long time.
    Is Nokia going to wake up ever??
    Siddhartha

    One solution is to use Microsoft Outlook.
    You can synchronize Windows Live Calendar with Outlook using Outlook Connector. You can get it here:

    Ovi Can then sync the Outlook Calendar with your phone. This should serve your purpose.

  • An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

    I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

    Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

  • Sync with Windows Address Book just hangs

    I have iPod Touch 4g, iOS 4.1, iTunes 10.0.1.22, Windows XP (up to date). I sync'd my Windows Address Book to the Touch without issue, I made some updates on the Touch, and now when I try to sync, it just hangs at trying to sync the contacts. No errors, it just indicates that it is syncing. iTunes doesn't actually hang, I can cancel the sync, and I can still sync songs, and it still backs up fine as first sync step.

    As far as I am aware, "identities" is an Outlook Express concept that was dropped by Microsoft some time ago in favour of separate User Accounts along with Windows Address Book being replaced by Windows Contacts. I am also not 100% sure that iTunes will sync with Windows Address book. Do you see it on the drop down menu in the Sync Contacts tab?
    If you do and if iTunes will sync with Windows Address Book you should only see the contacts associated with the identity you are using and shared contacts. If iTunes then syncs, it should sync with the identity you are using at the time of the sync.

  • Syncing with Windows Live instead of Outlook?

    I use Windows 7, which uses Windows Live for it's email and calendar & contact programs.  I like it better than Outlook.  When is Apple going to allow syncing with Windows Live?  Right now you have 1 option only.  Outlook. 

    Not sure, but if you set it up as an Exchange account it may support the syncing you're looking for.  See http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=6ae4b9c2-1c01-4e9c-bdc5-12da 8728f4c2.

  • How do i get my ipod to go from syncing with windows 7 to windows 8?

    Bought new songs and they won't sync onto my ipod when I plug it in because my new computer is Windows 8 and my old one was Windows 7. It syncs the songs from 7 but not the new ones I downloaded with windows 8

    Move all of your content from the old computer to the new computer.
    Then connect the iPhone to the new computer and sync.

  • Wi-Fi Sync with Windows 7 PC doesn't work

    I have both an iPhone 5s and iPad-3. I use iTunes (latest version) in a Windows 7 PC. No problems to sync with the USB cable, but Wi-Fi sync is totally unreliable.  I have spend lots of time reading all the information available online. Wi-Fi sync is configured right.  It is not a problem with either Antivirus software or the Firewall (I have tried disabling both).  I re-installed iTunes following the Apple support note on the subject.  On one time after I reinstalled, Wi-Fi worked, but only for the first sync.  When I turn on Wi-Fi in the iPad and iPhone, the iDevice always appear in iTunes but for a short while and it then dissapears. It is clear that they have some problem during the communication but neither iTunes nor the iDevice report any kind of error I could use to try to fix the problem.
    It is really frustrating, and I work in IT ... From what I have seen online, I am not alone with this problem. I have several iphone/iPad apps that do Wi-Fi syncs with applications in the Desktop, and they work every time.  I don't undertand why Apple can not implement a reliable Wi-Fi sync with iTunes.  I don't think it is to sell more Apple computers/laptops since there are many with those that have the same kind of problem. Could it be to sell more USB cables ?.

  • New Ipod touch won't sync with window's vista/itunes 9.2 - help!!

    I charged my brand new ipod touch via my computer, have it plugged it into my computer's USB port, and Itunes acknowledges the device in the left hand menu BUT it automatically says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out". The ipod will not sync with my itunes! I tried connection/disconnecting, turning the ipod on and off, and restarting the computer. No luck. What do I need to do? Please help, I was so excited to get the new ipod and now I can't use it! I have window's vista and I don't know anything about how to check or change computer settings that might be preventing the store from opening (it used to open, but I haven't tried in a while and I just downloaded version 9.2 today).
