My biggets frustration is that I have allocatd tunes/songs to varios contacts. Everytime I sync it removes these....HELP

See user guide page 10ff:
Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Microsoft
Address Book, Google Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express),
Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync
contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one
application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your
new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve
set up syncing.

Set up your contacts on your pc as desired, select "delete info on iphone once" in the info pane in itunes when your phone is connected. Your contacts will be synced from our pc to your phone. After the sync you should have the same info on pc and phone.

IPhone Contacts Deleted when Syncing

Help!! My iPhone contacts were deleted when syncing. And only kept a few from my Address Book. Is there a way I can restore them? Please Help! Thanks.

Me too. Although I don't see what MobileMe has to do with it, I don't use it.

Keeping Contacts & Apps when syncing iPhone with new computer

I just got a new netbook with Windows 7 Starter. I would like to transition from using my current work laptop to the netbook as the manager of my iPhone. When I try to sync my iPhone with the new computer it says that my iPhone's library is linked to another computer. It appears that all of my contacts and apps will be erased if I sync these items on the netbook.
Does anyone know a way that I can keep this information without erasing? I already erased my music content from the iPhone. I foresee a real problem since this netbook doesn't have Outlook and all my contact information is in that format. I also don't want to have my apps all wiped out. Thanks for the help.

iTunes content can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer, and photos can be transferred to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first.
No other content is touched or erased when doing so including iPhone contacts especially if you don't select to sync contacts with a supported application on a new computer.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. If you haven't activated the new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, you should do so before doing this.
With Windows, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with calendar events, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
If you don't have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available on the new computer, you will have Windows Contacts available. Before syncing contacts with Windows Contacts, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync with Windows Contacts, which you want to select.
There is no Outlook format or Apple address book format with contacts. You can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 or with Windows Contacts on a PC, and sync contacts with Apple's address book on a Mac.
Contact, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks can be synced with the supported applications on multiple computers. With two Windows computers, with two Macs, or with a Windows computer and a Mac.

Contacts double when syncing iMac & iPhone 3G

When syncing my iMac (10.6.4) with my iPhone 3G, some of the contacts double on each device and I need to delete them after the sync is complete. I do not use mobileMe.How do I avoid the doubling up of contacts in the address book of each?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already try to reset the sync history in iSync on your Mac? Then set up your contacts on your Mac as desired and replace the contacts on the phone during the following sync, using this option from the info pane, advanced section.

Previous photo's deleted when syncing a new folder.

Trying to sync photos with Itunes (windows 7)into separate albums, but when syncing a group or folder it deletes the previous album or photos. I can't see anything in Itunes to change to avoid this. Apple is not making "Photo" PC friendly.
Any ideas???

I have a 16GB 3G iPad. I sync it to an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.6.3.
I have a desktop folder that I use for syncing photos with the iPad. Recently I modified some of the photos in the desktop folder and when I try to sync, I get a dialog saying: “The iPad is synced with another photo library or folder. Do you want to sync with your photo library and replace all existing photos on this iPad with those from your photo library?”
When I open the iPad Photos pane in iTunes, the “Sync Photos from:...” check box shows only iPhoto and when I check the box, a dialog pops up saying, “Are you sure you want to sync photos? All existing photos and albums on iPad will be replaced with photos and albums from the current photo library.” I don’t WANT to sync to an iPhoto library, I want to sync to the photo folder on my iMac’s desktop. I am not given the opportunity to pull down the menu beside the “Sync Photos from:...” menu.
Help, please?

Will iTunes-bought music be deleted when syncing with a computer?

Let's say I buy a few songs on my iPad. Will they be deleted when I sync with iTunes on my computer?

They should not be, they should be synced to the computer.
Before syncing , click File>Transfer Purchases if you want to be sure.

Can I prevent old calendars to be deleted when syncing?

I was wondering if there is any way to prevent iCal from deleting old calendars when syncing Blackberrys or other phones that usually force cancellation upon sync of events which are older than a certain time frame.
Thank you!

How to avoid getting old contacts added when syncing to a phone?

I'm trying to sync my contacts between Address Book and my Sony Ericsson D750i (identical to the K750i). I have been able to sync contacts (from one group) once successful to the phone. Now when I do another sync after some changes on the Mac, iSync wants to add a large number of contacts to the Address Book. (I suspect that this is related to the message that iSync displays while syncing: "getting contacts from Backup conduit".) When I allow the changes I get a number of old contacts that I had delete a while ago. Some are even corrupted.
How can I avoid this? Is there some additional backup somewhere which I would have to delete?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

i guess i'll just stay on 5.1 and 10.8.1 forever than

New Notes deleted when synced to iCloud

When I add a new note on my Macbook Pro, the note is deleted as soon as it has synced with iCloud. Adding the note again results in duplicates on my iPhone.

It's always a good idea to backup first. I just saw this today you might want to check out. I'm not affiliated with nor have I tried this. It does have a demo.

Contacts lost when sync'ing iPhone

I recently added a new outlook email account. This came with an empty Contacts folder. When I sync'd my iPhone 6, my contacts were erased when iTunes sync'd with the empty Contacts folder. I tried directing iTunes in Settings/ Contacts to sync with the proper email Contacts folder, but no joy. My only solution to get back my contacts on the iPhone was to delete the new email account and resync.... my contacts were restored, but now I do not have access to the new email account. Anyone know how to direct the sync of Contacts?

I've been afraid to push the button and apparently for good reason. I managed to loose the iPhone contacts. Darn!! I'm pretty sure I got the directions correct. The one fake contact on the computer showed up on the iPhone but no contacts made it to the computer from the iPhone.
I have a variety of archives, but there's an issue there too. None have the .abbu extension, instead they have .abcddb extensions. They are greyed when attempting an import. I duplicated one and changed the extension to .abbu and thought I was on to something when the associated icon changed to show an AB file, but while it was selectable for import, it only went into the ether.
Any thoughts?

Why are my contacts deleted when I back up my phone and only some restored

Everytime my iphone is backed up, some of my contacts are deleted, why is this and how do I prevent it happening, how do I return the missing contacts?

If they are synced to iCloud and appear on icloud.com, they will reappear on your phone when you sign back into your account. As a precaution, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back them up before you restore if you wish. I would also recommend as a precaution that you import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer before restoring, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

IPod Contact repeats when sync with MS windows

I have installed the Ipod into my MS windows and tried to sync up the contacts in office outlook. However, each time I reconnect my Ipod onto the PC, it would duplicate the contacts. I can't seems to delete the duplication nor am I able to reload. Is there anyone whom has the same problem or any kind Apple staff ould provide assistance?

hi!
I have the same issue.
It is a glitch from the actual device or firmware itself. And Apple is taking its time to fix it. I replaced my iPod U2 twice and still have the same problem, on top of having a very crapy sound, when I compare it to my 4G iPod U2.
I think something is wrong in the design of the 5th generation hardware itself.
Let's wait for news from Cuppertino.

Podcasts deleting when syncing

I am having a problem when trying to sync my ipod or iphone with itunes on my PC. Whenever I attempt to do so, podcasts will delete themselves from my hard-drive. The podcast still appears in itunes but there is an exclamation point by the podcast and no file linked to the podcast.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, do you know how to fix the problem?

Don't know your situation, but iTUnes consider podcast played as soon as play has started. If set to sync unplayed episodes then partially played podcasts will be removed from ipod.
I have found best settings for podcasts are for iTunes and iPod to be set to keep all episodes. Then delete the files yourself when done listening to them. Or play podcasts from playlist and manage contents of playlist.

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.
