Troubleshooting-iPhone contact and safari bookmarks syncing on mac - help!

I did the update this morning. Everything is working fine but the syncing of my contacts [address book] and the safari bookmarks. they do not change at all when i try doing a syncing. I have more bookmarks in my safari mac than on the iPhone safari. the same happens with my contacts - if I update the information directly on my computer and try syncing it to the iPhone it does not update the info. Can anyone help? thanks.

mfoto,
Sync History is what keeps track of what has been synced and what has been changed.
As a first step you might want to try reseting sync history as mentioned in this article:

    Yes it is the same and it is greed out so it can't be changed there.
    Go to Settings\Mail, Contacts, Calendars\Add Account  (select iCloud)
    You can create a new account here  ("Get a Free Apple ID" at the bottom) or switch it to another existing account you may have (separate from your Husbands).
    Once you tie your phone into the separate account you can go back and delete your Husbands on your phone.

  • How to transfer SMS and Call History from Iphone 5 to Iphone 6 plus? Only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced.

    Hi! Please help. I have synced my IPhone 5 to Itunes. When I try to sync it to Iphone 6 plus, only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced to the latest date. The rest like SMS and Call History have only synced to June 2013.

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
    I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!

  • Manually sync Notes and Safari bookmarks via USB cable for iOS device and an iMac with MacOS 10.7 Lion and iTunes 11

    "I'm aware that with MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion there is no support for USB cable sync of iOS devices." Notes and Safari Bookmarks cannot longer be sync via USB cable with iTunes. For owners of iPhone 3G that cannot upgraded the device to a version higher than iOS 4.2, syncing Notes and Safari Bookmarks via usb cable with iTunes is the only option we have. There is no iCloud integration for Notes and Safari Bookmarks under iOS 4.2. I'm not updating to MacOS 10.8, because there is no way to sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks via cable. So I won't be able to sync those anymore unless I upgrade to a newer model of iPhone. I'm not into a new hardware investment, at least not for now. I just want to know if iTunes 11 running in MacOS 10.7 Lion still have the functionality of sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks via USB cable.

    Mac OS 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.0.4.

    I want to confirm if "other" still appears with iTunes 11 and MacOS 10.7 for sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks:
    Yes.
    If you are sincing Notes via iCloud, iTunes will tell you so.
    If you change the iDevice - Settings> iCloud > Notes - Off, they sync (or not sync) thru iTunes (either wifi or cable).
    So my question now would be:
    Is "Notes" manual sync checkbox option provided under "Others" in iTunes 11.0.1 with MacOS 10.7 Lion?
    If you change the iDevice - Settings> iCloud > Notes - Off, then yes.

    I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac.  How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library?  I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

    I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

    It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

  • After reinstallation of Outlook 2010 on my Laptop, Contacts and Calendar did not appeared while they are exist in my iphone 5 by using icloud. What I should do to get Contacts and Calendars in sync with iphone 5? Thank you.

    Thank you.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

  • What do I do about contacts and groups not synced from iPhone to iCloud?

    I've been syncing my contacts with my Mac (Snow Leopard, not Lion) via iTunes for years now. It's worked well enough, but I don't sync with my Mac that often (typically weeks between syncs), so I've worried a little bit about losing data entered on my iPhone before it gets on my Mac.
    Before: Mac <-iTunes contacts sync-> iPhone
    A week or so ago I backed up contacts, calendars and my whole iPhone (and my Mac) then upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5. It took a while (hours) but seemed to work.
    Then I set up iCloud contact syncing.
    What I intended: Mac <-iTunes contacts sync-> iPhone <-iCloud contacts sync-> iCloud
    After setting up iCloud contact sync, the trouble began.
    I looked at my iPhone contacts and saw that instead of the half dozen groups they were organized into before, they were all in one iCloud group. I found I could make new groups and assign contacts to them on iCloud and they'd sync, but I'm not interested in redoing work organizing hundreds of contacts that iOS and iCloud lost for me.
    Shortly I discovered that some contacts were just missing. Poof. Gone after the iCloud sync.
    I've hesitated before syncing with my Mac again. I don't want to have the messed up groups and the deleted contacts propogate back to my Mac.
    I've also hesitated because I don't see a way to disable iTunes contact syncing before actually plugging in my iPhone — the options for managing what gets synced only seem to appear when the iPhone is connected, and sync starts automatically.
    Suggestions for how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    I found out how to disable automatic syncing:
    In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync your device when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see your iPhone appear in the sidebar.
    I'm still looking for suggestions about how to proceed to get contacts with groups synced.
    Thanks again!

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    You can use iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks between your Mac and your iPad.
    Instructions here >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Personally, I like the Wacom stylus for iPad >  Amazon.com: Wacom Tech Corp. Bamboo Stylus for iPad/Tablets: Computers & Accessories
    And try the accessibility features on your Mac. Open System Preferences > Accessibilty
    Apple - Accessibility - OS X
    I just noticeed on your other thread you mentioned that you've had your Mac for seven years so iCloud for syncing bookmarks may not be an option for you unless your Mac at the minimum is  running v10.7.5 with at Safari 5.1.1. See, "Bookmarks" >   System requirements for iCloud

  • Iphone contacts and photos is not syncing to iCloud

    iphone contacts and photos is not syncing to iCloud

    I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
    The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
    Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
    but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
    IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
    as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
    This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
    it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
    what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
    something is crazy
    but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......

  • HT204053 My contacts and calenders stopped syncing on my I pad and iPhone any ideas?

    My contacts and calenders stopped syncing between my iPad and my iPhone. It worked for a couple of moths when I first set it up.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Contacts not syncing.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    Calendars not syncing.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Categories in IPhone contacts and folders in safari favorites

    Will Apple ever implement categories in the IPhone contacts and folders in safari favorites? This is a great phone but without this it puts contact management back dark ages when you have 300 contacts. having the favorites in the contact screen is not the same but it helps just a little. If they do I would like more than 35 categories to define myself. If would also like a search with the virtual keyboard so I can type in Ken and get everyone with the first name of Ken. The MS smartphones have all of the above and it is a good idea.

    It already has Groups for Contacts and Folders for Safari favorites.

  • Syncing iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks via AirPort Extreme?

    Does anyone know of a way to keep iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks in sync across three Macs that are connected via AirPort Extreme? I don't want to use MobilMe at this time.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.
    Frank

    Hey, Lehmann:
    You need a server to process the information being sent out by your Macs. The server is what will determine which machines need what information, and will initiate the transfer. The Airport Extreme can't be this server as it only contains the functionality of a router. Most developers opt to develop WAN-based syncing (ie, MobileMe, Exchange, etc.) because LAN would be covered under that umbrella, so it's two for the price of one (I also think syncing over WAN is more convenient and more often the desired solution).
    I don't know of any LAN-based syncing solutions (ie, one that would turn one of your computers into the server to process the data and manage the syncing), but I can at least give you some of the tech language to help define what you're looking for and help your search.
    Can I ask why you want to keep the syncing server local? Is it a security concern? I love MobileMe and would highly recommend it unless there is a need for military-level security.
