Time is always late and contact syncing

I just bought an iPhone 4. My problem with my iphone is its always late compare to the normal time. Then when I lock it then open it it will go back to normal time. It happens everyday. What should I do????
One more thing, is it possible to sync my contacts from my iphone to my computer? how???

Hello queckenstedt,
check settings>general>date-time.
Or go here:
National Institute of Standards and Technology

To sync your contacts download iBooks (free App),
then download iPhone Users Guide (free book).
Do a search for "sync contacts".
Good Luck,
A

  • Ipod Calendar and Contact Sync Issues?!!!

    Quick note:
    Itunes 7.6.1
    Ipod 1.1 (latest)
    OS X 10.5.2
    Hi guys,
    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano (4GB). It has been working fine since January but it has had trouble in the last month. I noticed about two weeks ago that my ipod nano had no contacts and no calendar events on it. I went into itunes and it was set to sync all contacts and calendars. It just wouldn't sync them. The ipod had over 2GB available free space. Software is all updated.
    Unclicking and reclicking the settings didn't work, so I did unset and unplugged, etc etc. Nothing worked.
    So I reformatted the ipod completely. That fixed the problem for awhile but not a week later it's started up again. when I go to my ipod it says it can only sync 21 of my contacts because:
    "Only limited portion of your contacts could be loaded due to the amount of content on this ipod."
    The ipod has 2.5GB available this time! None of the calendars are synced at all. It syncs my music no problem..
    So what the heck is going on and what can I do?! I'm out of ideas.

    This is a known issue with the current iPod nano firmware. Nothing is going to 'solve' it but an update from Apple. However, it's not nearly as serious as it seems. After you sync your Calendars and Contact (and Notes, they are affected by this issue, too), they often will not appear, but a simple reset will always 'refresh the iPod's memory'. (And you do that by turning the hold switch on and then off, and then holding down the centre button and menu button simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the iPod reboots.)
    This is not actually an issue with Contacts or Calendars failing to sync. It's an issue with the iPod failing to recognise that they've been synced. A simple reset always solves it in my case and many others.

  • BIS calendar and contact sync unreliable

    For years I've been using a SyncML client to sync my BB with my Google calendar and contacts and this has been 100% reliable. However, the annual licence fee is due soon so I thought I'd try the BB built in sync.
    I set up my Gmail email account to sync the calendar, contacts and deletions. The initial sync went well and looked promising. However, my joy soon turned to despair as several sync issues have arisen.
    Timing for any changes to take effect for a start! If the entry is made on the handset Google Calendar or Contacts update almost immediately. However, entries made online are hit & miss! It never syncs immediately and sometimes it's a few minutes but other times it's several hours. As I need to keep my phone and PC in constant sync I can't be sure if the sync has actually happened. Contacts changed on the computer take even longer to sync to the handset and can be from a couple of hours to more than a day..
    There are also issues with the sync of certain calendar entries. In particular, recurring entries, for example: I set up a new entry on the PC (in Google Calendar) to repeat weekly for 10 weeks. I subsequently deleted 1 of the weeks on the handset but after the sync Google Calendar had also deleted an extra week at the end of the run. There are other examples but clearly recurring entries cause a problem. I can possibly live with the delayed sync but not the errors.
    I've found that deleting the Gmail account and re-installing it resolves most issues for a while but that's not a practical solution. There's no point in Blackberry providing a sync feature if it can't be relied on but I'm not sure if this is actually a Blackberry problem or the network (Vodafone UK in my case). However, unless I can rely on the service it looks as though I'll need to renew my SyncMl license!
    Any one else having these problems or can offer any help?

    The lack of a reply from RIM on this topic and several others that are similar is disappointing.
    I replied to another entry that had a similar issue. Rogers was also singularly unhelpful (they recommended I downgrade from 6.0 B2647). In my case, the BB has wireless sync turned on but it doesn't actually sync. the DM won't let me backup the calendar or restore it because wireless sync is on (even when I've turned it off).
    Fingers crossed that RIM will fix the issue or at least answer with a workaround. Current workaround is manually syncing BB and online calendar each morning. Not good!

  • Outlook Calendar and Contact Sync with Nano

    Just wondering if apple is working on a service pack for itunes 5.0 that will actually allow itunes to properly sync up with outlook calendar and contacts without getting that -50 error (or -20). forgot error code !!!

    As others have said in your other posts, no one here knows or can say what Apple is working on.
    If you haven't seen this KB article:
    iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting iPod contact and calendar syncing
    perhaps it will help.

  • Calendar and Contact sync

    I recently boughta  new computer and it has Vista on it. I was able to download the software for my T5 and everything syncs fine except for my calendar and contacts. THey initially showed up correct when I first downloaded the software and performed a sync. Now when I make chages on either the desktop or handheld, the other does not change. I have tried different settings....handheld overrides desktop and visa versa. Anyone have an ideas or had the same problem and was able to correct it?
    Thanks
    Post relates to: Tungsten T5

    I have a similar problem; new Vista laptop won't synch Contacts although other applications are fine.
    Log shows: "Contacts synchronised successfully" but also "Not synchronised", no matter how the conduit is set.
    Any advice welcome; I have all the necessary authority and have tried updating to the 6.2.2 Desktop

  • Windows Live Calendar and Contacts sync with iPhone

    I am looking at buying an iPhone. Is it possible to set the iPhone up to sync my Windows Live calendar, contacts and email over the phone network (ie without having to use iTunes), and can the calendar and contacts be edited using the iPhone and will this sync straight back to Windows?

    If you are syncing Windows Live Calendar with your iPhone calendar app, then you have discovered something that neither Microsoft nor Apple have admitted can be done.  There are a couple of published "workarounds" none of which are simple and which mostly just do not work.
    Perhaps you could tell us what you are actually doing?

  • IPhone and Contact Syncing

    For whatever reason, my iPhone no longer syncs Contacts. Or more correctly, it syncs contact names, but not associated phone number and addresses. Just the names. The correct information remains on my desktop and on me.com, but I'm only seeing names on my iPhone. Any ideas? Has this ever happened to anyone else? I tried a restore, but to no effect. I also turned off me.com Contacts on the iPhone preferences to sync directly, but that didn't work either.

    create a fake group in Address Book with no contacts, in iTunes info tab at the bottom there is an option to replace info. Select Contacts, sync just that group then re-sync the actual contacts from your computer.
    Hope this helps.

  • While looking to upgrade to a new MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me. are there any workarounds?

    While looking to upgrade to a newer MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. Syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me for several reasons. Are there any workarounds or do I have to go back to a PC with my tail tucked between my legs?

    When you say wired syncing, are you meaning between an iphone and your mac?

  • Calendar and Contact syncing with Outlook

    I have I tunes 8.0.1.11 and Touch software 2.1. Up until one of the last updates (not sure which they come so quickly) my Touch with sync perfectly with Outlook. Lately it has not been syncing. I had a trial Mobile Me which I removed by uninstalling the program and the control panel but it still does not work properly. If I uncheck the sync boxes in the info tab and click apply and then recheck the boxes the entire calendar and contacts will sync, but that's pretty clumsy and takes too long. What can I do to get it working back to the old way? There must be a remnant of Mobile Me somewhere in my system.

    I too have not been able to get Notes to sync with Outlook. I updated to v3.0 today, and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch to my PC, iTunes basically refused to sync Notes. It was odd: I would select the box for syncing Notes, and when I initiated a sync by clicking on Apply, the selection checkmark on Notes would uncheck during the sync. It did all the other syncs normally, to Outlook Calendar and Contacts, plus my music and apps. Plus, other aspects of functionality in v3.0 work quite well, e.g., copy and paste. In any case, I got no syncing of Notes in this new version. I created new notes in both platforms, plus activated OneNote on the PC, just in case. Nada. I also have not noticed any new "handheld synchronization" folder under Notes, either. I will try the reboot mentioned by Mac users that has been found to be necessary for the sync to work with Macs.

  • Best Advice for a working web-based email, calendar and contacts sync system

    I am setting up an office with people that use Blackberry curves. They all have Gmail but that is not important at this point - what I am hoping to achieve is a working (note the operative word: working) solution for keeping a calendar, contacts, and email all in sync on the Blackberry devices. Google promises much but fails to deliver a working solution, their system is frought with problems form errors to duplicated events and contacts to slowing down the phone. Does anyone have an alternative scenario using some other free web-based solution that actually works well? Feel free to post your working solution!
    Thanks!

    check out funambol or scheduleworld
    or stick with the gmailsync... it will eventually work... it just got released not to long ago... they will work out the bugs... once they do, it will be the next best thing to a BES

  • Outlook calendar and contacts sync limits with Xperia Z1 Compact

    I have just set up my Xperia to sync with Outlook Calendar and contacts- took a while to realise outlook calendar needed to be closed to work, however now that I am able to sync my calendar and contact, I am only able to sync some of the items in my contact and the calendar updates to my phone only sync for a few months.  Is there an option on this phone or in PC Companion where I can sync all calendar and contact entries, or somewhere that limits entries that I can switch off?

    There was a setting I hadn't found in the PC Companion software:
    On the start sync page there is a settings heading next to a spanner on the righthand side - this takes you to sync settings
    Select Personal Data Selection and then the properties button for Calendar
    You can then set the sync to select all your appointments or a subset.
    I hope that this helps someone - it has taken hours to find this setting!

  • Nokia X2: Calendar and contacts sync with outlook....

    hey there
    i have a nokia x2 and i got myself a new outlook.com account just in order to finally have my emails, my contacts and my calendar synch using the outlook.com app.
    1 email synchronisation works fine
    2 contacts sync seem not to be possible.
     - contacts can be edited only on outlook.com, but not via app. could you confirm this? I wonder why and if an update will solve this issue. what am i supposed to do in order to synch my contacts if i add a new contact or email or whatever on my nokia x2? add it manually to the outlook.com adress buch? this is not feasable!
    - besides the birthday is not displayed on nokia x2 alltough being present on the database of nokia x2 (i can export it with the contact using the export function)
    3 calendar synch works only from outlook.com to nokia x2. if i add a new event on nokia x2, this one event doesn't get sync on outlook.com. any idea what goes wrong or what i am supposed to do to fix this?
    nokia/microsoft colleagues please help, i am using only your stuff, it cannot be that it does't work even when using ONLY microsoft programs
    thx

    Little update
    2 calendar --> there is a workaround that makes calendar synch working (using exchange account and also outlook.com app). if you turn off the local calendar and  if you edit directly the exchange calendar, it works (create, edit and delete).  synch between local und exchange calendar doesn't work, no way.
    2 contacts: no workaround
     - using outlook.com app you can't edit contacts and birthdays don't get displayed
    - using exchange server you can edit the contacts locally bur all changes doesn't get synchronised with outlook.com. birthdays are displayed.
    - new problem: contact groups don't get synchronised in any direction!!
    microsoft / nokia people kindly help..

  • Calendar and Contact sync SLOWWWWWW!!!

    This isn't the backup issue, I get through that quickly.
    When I try to sync Calendar and Contacts with Outlook 2003, it never gets trough it. No error messages, I've left it for multiple hours.
    Any thoughts?

    Eureka!!!! My contacts are now synced, but not through iTunes...
    ...over the air (oooooo weeee).
    Go to:
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/iphone/mac.html
    Step #4 is CRUCIAL!
    After completing these steps, iTunes now shows that information is being synced with iPhone over the air with MobileMe.
    I guess mac is going to MAKE you use MobileMe. Hope this helps.

  • Calendar Sync not working - email and contact sync working

    Hi,
    my company's exchange activesync is working for email and contact but not for calendar. there is no single meeting in my iphone calendar. when invitation arrives, I get alarm and I can even see invitation on phone and can accept it. it then goes into calendar but gets removed soon after (after it gets sync with exchange I guess).
    I know that multiple issues like this have been discussed in this forum but could not find similar. My IT guy telling me that it is iPhone issue as it is only one global object and my email and contacts are working.
    BTW, other iphone users have same issues.
    Any comments? is this because of 2.2.1?
    thanks,
    Sam

    were you able to solve this? i too can sync mail and contacts but not calendar...
    so far i have recreated my SSL
    rerun the internet connection wizard
    tried it from my ipod touch running 2.2.1
    tried it from my dev iphone 3g running 3.0b5
    tested and CAN access everything via outlook and OMA
    can add an appointment via iphone, it appears in Outlook, but cannot add from outlook and sync
    have deleted every single appointment/event/anniversary then added one to check for corrupt.
    everything worked fine until a few days ago when the dev iphone had 3.0 installed on it... at first, the calendar was all i could get to sync, we had some interesting firewall setup that was causing confusion for a few things, in an effort to make life easier on the dev phone, the firewall was simplified (removed double NAT). but, in the process of removing and adding and removing and adding my Exchange info, i gained the ability to sync my contacts and mail, but lost my calendar.
    i do not think 3.0 is the exact issue, but i do think it may have caused some kind of problem with exchange or activesync which others have apparently been able to cause with 2.2.1.
    any verbose suggestions are appreciated... i've spent the last two days pulling out whats left of my hair and trying to find someone with a Windows Mobile or other Activesync device that's not iPhone/iPod to test looking for clues. thanks.
