Its a easy fix,it will take too much time to type out all of the steps,
Check your email account. see if they are their, You can then import them on your DAV card, The best thing to is add them to icoud then they will be safe.
Apple support can talk you through it.

Avatars from Google Contacts is not showing anymore on iPhone after sync in iTunes 10.7

Sorry for my English in advance.
Before update to iTunes 10.7, avatars from my Google Contacts was transfer to iPod Contacts well. After iTunes was update I had to connect with Google Contacts in iPhone “Information” (in Russian) menu again and after that newly create contacts in Google Contacts is transfer to iPhone without avatars.
Please, help.

I was having the same issue too. I was hoping that apple will address this issue with a SW update or at least someone from apple would be kind enough to answer this thread.
After researching for a couple days I found a solution. It's not the most efficient, but it works. You'll need a CD-R or CD-RW with this method. The trick is you need to convert m4p file format to mpa or mp3 file format.
You can follow the following steps:
1. Open iTunes
2. Create a New Playlist: File -> New Playlist
3. Drag the song(s) to the playlist you just created. Note: Depending on the file size you might only be able to burn just 1 song at a time
4. Insert a Blank CD to your disk drive.
5. Right click on the playlist then click "Burn Playlist to Disk." Then click burn. Make sure the Disc format is set to Audio CD.
6. Once the disc is finished, click on the CD in the device section in iTunes. Right click the song and click "Create AAC Version." This will create a .mpa file into your iTunes.
7. Copy that file to your iPhone and you're golden
Hope this helps guys. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it works and now you can workout with those tunes. I know I've been quite frustrated because my tracks didn't show up, hopefully the new SW update will fix this.
I would appreciate any apple genius' solution that is more efficient as well.
Cheers

HT4872 Synching Contacts iOS to Google - contacts not transferring to Google

I have followed these instructions to the letter including re-booting and starting again. My Contacts are currently on my iOS device but are not being transferred to my Google contacts. When I open the contacts on iOS, it does not seem to have the turning wheel idicating that it is synching. My google contacts are empty and my ioS contacts are stubbornly sitting there. Why is it not transferring? Could it be the number of contacts that I have? (2900) Any help would be most appreciated....

I'm having the same issue! Have you discovered any solution? I just did a fresh reformat and could not for the life of me get my contacts to sync with my MobileMe account. I kept getting an error saying that the data was corrupt. So, I decided to try syncing with google but the option was no longer there.

Sync Google Contacts via iTunes not working

Hi
Just got a new Macbook with Yosemite and am syncing my Google Mail, Calendar, Contacts with the Macbook without difficulty, I have disabled iCloud syncing for Mail, Calendar, and Contacts.
Now, I want to get Google Contacts set up on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) as a stop gap before getting a new iPhone down the line. However, I can't find a reliable way of getting my Google Contacts on to the iPhone 3G.
Exchange Sync and CardDAV do not work. I don't mind syncing via iTunes but I can't set this up either. Despite telling iTunes to sync 'All Contacts' it won't sync those from my Google account. Only contacts in 'On My Mac' group sync across, but I don't want to manually keep track of and copy new Google contacts into this group just to sync.
Why won't iTunes sync the Google contacts group - currently it is the only group in my OS X Contacts.
I have reset sync and reinitialised the iPhone to factory image - neither works.
Any advice appreciated.

try rebooting the appletv.
also, you have a first generation appletv but have posted in the second generation appletv forum.

Constantly Syncing with Google Contacts on my work PC

My work PC is continuously trying to sync my contacts with google. If it was just in the background I wouldn't care, but it is using nearly 100% of my CPU capacity.

Online chat with Apple (Jeremy). Advised to turn off iCloud sync of contacts, manually entered contacts from All on My iPhone into Google contacts, deleted from All on My iPhone.

How do I transfer contacts from a Droid HTC Eris to my new iPhone?

Any help on how to transfer contacts from a droid iris to iphone would

What were you syncing your Droid with?
Usually it's Outlook on a PC or Address Book on a Mac, so you just sync your contacts from either of those to the iPhone using iTunes.

Z10 does not sync with Google contacts

I've had my Z10 for about a week and am trying to set it up. I am trying, and failing, to replace an Android device with this phone. I used the easy setup for "Email, calendar, and contacts" to link the phone to my gmail/google account. That account has two-step verification enabled and the setup program duly collected the verification code. All three accounts got set up and populated with the latest from google.
But ..... if I make a change via a web browser on my PC (an up-to-date Arch Linux system), those changes simply don't get picked up by the phone, even with the sync interval set to 5 minutes. This is not a matter of not waiting long enough. It's a matter of sync not working. The phone does pick up new email messages arriving and new calendar entries.
If I try to change the sync interval, after the 'save', I'm told that my login credentials were not correct. After one of those episodes, I deleted the 'contact' account and added a new one, this time using the caldev approach under 'advanced settings'. This behaves the same way (except that it requires an application-specific password from Google, rather than honoring the fact that I'd already supplied a valid two-step code). Contacts get loaded as part of the account setup, but no further sync-ing happens.
I've wasted almost an entire day on this. Googling reveals plenty of other people complaining of the same problem and over a two-year time period. You would think that Blackberry, now the 90-pound weakling in the mobile hardware business, would pay careful attention to making their software work correctly with the largest purveyor of email, calendar and contacts. But they haven't.
It's too bad, because this system has a lot to recommend it (I am a retired computer professional and spent almost 50 years of my life developing software and managing large and small software projects and I am confident that I know good stuff when I see it, and much of this system *is* good). But my primary requirement is that the phone be a good organizational tool and if it ignores changes to my contacts, it's useless to me and I will return it and stick with the less elegant, but more functional Android, unless someone has a bright idea for how to fix this.

Well, I tried a workaround: use Link to sync the phone to Outlook. I just want a way to edit contacts with a computer and sync them with the phone, and very occasionally go the other way when circumstances require. You know, like we did with Palms 20 years ago?
What I found was that sync-ing contacts 1 way from device to computer produced no contacts in Outlook. Just utterly frustrated, I called the place where I bought it to try to get some help, they were clueless (and trying to call Blackberry is a waste of time; they won't talk to you unless you have a paid support contract), and so I asked for and got an RMA # and return label.
But still thinking about this, I poked around in the phone and noticed the BBLink accounts for calendar and contacts and thought "can it be that this system, which provides a nicety like Hub, which gives you an integrated, chronological view of *all* your communications -- calls, texts, emails, etc. -- be only sync-ing the BBLink accounts, not the Google accounts?". This is correct, difficult as it is to believe. So I exported my contacts from Google, imported them to Outlook, and did a 1-way sync from the computer to the device, and, mirabile dictu, the contacts showed up in the phone. After about an hour and half. Further synchronizations, done after some cleanup of my contacts were also very slow, though not this slow, since few contacts were actually being transferred in these incremental synchs.
Whoever wrote the synchronization part of Link clearly doesn't understand the concept of complexity of algorithms. (S)he also clearly didn't test this code on a contact data set of any significant size. I have about 1800 contacts. I had about the same number many years ago when I had a Palm that would sync an order of magnitude faster than this Blackberry setup and do so on much slower hardware with a slower communications channel (a serial port).
I also found that two-way synchronization produced some very odd messages, such as telling me that essentially all the contacts were in conflict. I abandoned the idea very quickly of ever trying a two-way sync (again, standard practice with Palms).
Link is clearly a crock, but I think I've coerced it into doing what I need. I have until the end of January to decide whether to keep the Z10, and as I said in my original post, there's a lot I like about this phone. So I will use that time to see if I really have found a workaround for this ridiculous synchronization weak spot.
Hello,
I`m glad you figured out a way to do what you need to do. I have red before some other people having issues with BB Link and Outlook. I never used Outlook - I prefer Google account, which for me has worked very well, regardless what phone I use. It is true, it can take some time to sync in everything but for me it never took days as others have said.
However, once the huge amount of data is synched to your phone, you don`t need to worry about further time consuming synching.
Are you saying that synching with Google *contacts* works for you? In the sense that after you have the phone loaded up with all your Google contacts, if you make a change to the contacts with a web browser that the change appears in the phone? And vice-versa? Neither of those cases work for me. One wrinkle: I use two-step verification on my Google account. Do you? I am very suspicious that two-step verification is the cause of my issue with contacts synchronization (though, as I said in my original post, email and calendar synch do work).

Google calender and google contacts won't sync AGA...

I am getting very tired of Nokia now!
Actually I've had it with Nokia!
One last Change,
My wife and I have now received Nokia phones number 4 and 5 from the care center.
I now have a E7-00 with a poorly responsive touchscreen,
my wife now has a N8, wich just again is different than her previous.
I'm still haven't been able to find out whether the touchscreen is broken or...
Namely because I can hardly use the phone, again google calender and google contacts won't sync.
Got it to work last time around, but things (espacialy with Nokia) change.
Can somebody, Please, give me the page with the CORRECT instructrons? for the e7-00 and the N8?
I am very tired of clicking pages wich do not contain the anwsers.
Meanwhile, my friends and colleagues laugh at me, with their smasung's, HTC 's, LG 's, and iPhone's.
Which all sync (nearly) hassle-free with all they want.
Help

Hi Gucky66,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
Please reset and update the phone to fix any software issues you're experiencing on both your E7 and N8.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and create a back up via Tools > Back up.
Now disconnect the phone from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# and default security code 12345 into your phone. Once the phone has rebooted, please reconnect with Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where you will be able to update the phone to it's latest software version. If no update is listed, please reinstall the current software. This option is displayed in blue.
When the updated has completed, please restore the back up via Restore > Back up.
You should now have a fully working phone. If you're still experiencing difficulties with your Email account, please delete the account and reconfigure, you can do this via Menu > Mail > Select the email account > Long press > Delete mailbox.
If the above doesn't work, please contact your local Care line where they will be able to look at your previous repairs and look for a solution.
Please get back to me if you manage to resolve the issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

Google Calendar and Google Contacts

On a previous Android phone (T-Mobile's G2), there were two apps, Google Calendar and Google Contacts. When I first got the Incredble 2 in June, I thought I remembered seeing a Google Calendar app, but now it is no longer there.
I'm interested in the Google Calendar app because I'm wondering if my syncing issues (see earlier post) is related to this? (Verizon's Calendar app is not syncing phone created events to my Google calendar).
Thanks.

The Google Contacts app on a stock android is called the People App on a HTC phone. It has been skinned with HTC Sense.
I do see a Calendar application in my app drawer on the Tbolt. It too has been skinned with HTC Sense and doesn't look like the stock android calendar application. The stock android widget for the Calendar should still be available on the DROID Incredible 2.
Perhaps those are the differences you are seeing when you compare the T-Mobile G2 to the Droid Incredible 2.
i beleive your correct
the g2 was vanilla android
any phone thats not will usually have skins, and be diff
on my fascinate i have a gmail, and a calander

Bluetooth iphone 4 macbook pro isync addressbook Google contacts

Hi all,
Hope you're enjoying your devices, when your not troubleshooting them here
This doesn't appear to be a difficult request but its proving beyond me and I'm seeking help.
I would like to sync my Macbook Pro's addressbook with my iPhone 4 - the help file in Addressbook suggests its possible and my iPhone 4 and my Macbook Pro pair but don't connect. I sync doesn't like it and keeps overwriting all my data in Google contacts, that I ulitmately want to update with the information I have stored in the Addressbook, once I've ensured all the data on my phone is transfered successfullly also.
Any suggestions?

You can't sync contacts with an iPhone via Bluetooth, nor is iSync compatible with iPhones.
Use iTunes to sync contacts by following the instructions in the iPhone User Guide.
Or if you upgrade to OS X 10.7.x Lion, you can use iCloud.

Transfer Footprints from HTC Eris to HTC Incredible 2

I switched from HTC Eris to HTC Incredible 2. I want to transfer my Footprints thumbnails and data to HTC Incredible 2. On the HTC Eris there is a folder on the SD card called .footprint that contains the footnotes.db file and folders for thumbnails and voices. The thumbnails for the footprints I have created are in the proper folder.
On the HTC Incredible 2, the footprints folder is on the SDcard as a subfolder of the .data folder. That folder has a footprints.db file and footprints.db-shm and a footprints.db-shm files in it. It also has "thumbnails" and "voices" folderswhere the pictures and dictated audio that are created with the app reside.
I have copied the HTC Eris .footnote folder over to the HTC Incredible 2 SDcard. The footprints application has a menu item to import pictures and data. The pictures have to be imported individually. While the pictures import and retain the address and GPS information, they display the current date and time, not the date and time when the footprint was orginally created. When you try to import a database, it says no database found.
I tried copying all of the Eris thumbnails into the Incredible 2's thumbnails folder and replacing the footprints.db on the Incredible 2 with the one from the Eris but the app would not display the existing footprint pictures and the app would no longer save and display footprints created even though the pictures taken were in the correct folder. I restored the Incredible 2's footprints.db and solved that problem.
If anyone has ideas, I would be interested to know. My guess is the Footnotes app on the Eris is a different version so the data is not transferable.

If I had to guess I would say that the issue is because of the different versions of Sense, I have noticed that some of the old files stored from a HTC Sense application doesnt always work on the updated version..

Syncing contacts with Google Contacts causes duplicates

I don't use MobileMe, I just sync with my Google contacts, however it puts them in my iPod Touch twice, I tried removing one of them for each contact, it ended up wiping out my google contacts completely. I attempted to sync again hoping it would put the contacts back from the iPod, but it wont.
So my main question is, is there a way to fix the duplication issue please, also is there a way to get the contacts on the iPod back into google contacts, short of entering them all manually, not a prospect I relish.

I have the same problem. It seems like itunes (on windows) has a problem to sync the google contacts (address book) with my iphone. The first time i tried, it worked (all contacts from Google contacts were transferred to my iphone) but the next time nothing happened, nothing changed in the iphone contacts neither in the Google contacts (updates were made in both the iphone and goggle contacts). Any idea anyone?

Syncing iphone (icloud) contacts to google contacts

Good day, everyone.
I've followed the steps here (which are the same as the Apple.com version of this article): http://support.Google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2753077. Unfortunately, I do not see any contacts transferring from my device to my Google contacts. I'll reiterate that I've followed the directions in the support article to a "T." I've set the Google contacts account on my iphone as the default for contacts, and yet still no transference. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions as to what might be wrong? I see that the set up procedure for this works for many others.

Log-in to whichever email you want to get the contacts from. It depends on the email client, but if you are using gmail, click on the contacts tab, there will be a settings button, most likely a gear symbol, and select export contacts. Make sure you export them as V-cards, that's the contact file apple products recognize.
Once you have your contacts exported, log into iCloud in your web browser, go to contacts and import them there. Once they are uploaded in iCloud you will see them update on every device you have that iCloud account signed into, as long as you have contacts switch on, on those devices.
