Turn off Verizon sync of contacts?

It's amazing how well things run until Verizon tinkers with things.

You can switch the contacts to be saved as Google contacts and eliminate the Verizon sync.

Apparently Sync Manager is turned off for syncing my contacts and calendar to using Blackberry Desktop Software - how can I switch it ON?

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 a few months ago.
Up till then I was happily able to sync mac Contacts and Calendar to my Blackberry Curve 9320 via Blackberry's Desktop Manager (for Mac).
Since upgrading the software tells me to that Mac Sync Manager is turned off. I know it isn't because everything else is syncing.
When I hunt through your support I find that there are solutions for this problem for other Mac OS versions but not for Maverick, so please tell me how I can once again use my business phone happily as I did before upgrading!
Many thanks
Janet

BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

Turn off wireless Syncing for Contacts

Blackberry Desktop software will not sync, (via Outlook 2010) claiming that the wireless tab is activated for the Contacts on my blackberry 9700. This has been turned off, phone restarted via a cold restart, yet I still cannot sync the contacts. All other syncs, calendar, Memo, Tasks sync fine.

I have a 9800 and I was trying to sync my contacts and I had the exact same problem. It was really frustrating but I finally figured it out. I don't know all the details.. I just know how it worked for me. From the homescreen click contacts. Once contacts is open, hit the menu button and click options. Contacts Options will pop up and for me there were 3 options at the top ( Contact Display and Actions, Recent Activites, and AT&T Address Book) then a gray divider line that says "Contact Lists". Under that divider line was my personal email address. I clicked my personal email address and a second window pops up that has THE CHECKBOX.. the one the instructions refer to (THE needle in the haystack). I unchecked that box and magically in desktop manager, after hitting the "configure settings button" it worked. Hope this helps! believe me i know how frustrating it is. The instructions in desktop manager should be more precise!

My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.

Hello kidmango,
I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
Hope this helps.

How do you turn off Verizon voice mail?

I have an answering machine, I would like to turn off Verizon voice mail so that all unanswered calls go directly to my answering machine. The tech that installed my service said it was possible, but the directions he gave me led to a dead end. Does anyone know how to turn off Verizon voice mail? Is there a way to do this on-line or via the telephone (without having to contact a representative)?

Since the Verizon Voicemail will answer calls to you number when you are using your phone, a second incoming call to your number while your own answering machine is taking a message WILL BE forwarded the the Verizon Voicemail system --possibly giving you recorded messages in 2 places. Note that each increase in the ring count will add 6 seconds to the amount of time it takes to forward the call to the Verizon Voicemail system.
If you really don't what the Verizon Voicemail system which can handle multiple calls simultanteously (something you own answering machine cannot do), your only option is to phone Verizon's business office and request that they remove the Verizon Voicemail service from your line.

How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting the ipod to PC?

My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

A couple of ways...
Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
Or...
Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.

How do I turn off automatic sync?

I recently accidently deleted most of my itunes music library. Previously I had itunes set to automatic sync. All my music is on my ipod classic and I want to keep it. I am worried that if I connect my ipod to the PC it will automatically sync and will delete most of the music on my ipod. How do I turn off automatic sync and set it to manual sync? Is there a way of changing the settings without connecting the ipod? Would it be of any help if I had access to another ipod and could I use this to change settings. I would be very grateful for any help.

To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

I would like to move my songs from my ipod nano back on to my freshly reinstalled windows and iTunes. Can that be done? I turned off automatic syncing so I can charge up the ipod. Help!

You won't be able to, just by navigating out the iPod's photos folder in iTunes. You'll likely need the help of some sort of third party software to get the job done for you. One thing you'll want to keep in mind about these photos is that they are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod's Video smaller 2.5" LCD display.
Here is one such product.

As the article you attached says, "Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off syncing."
In other words, once you click on the device in iTunes on your computer (with the iPhone attached), you then click "Photos" near the top and uncheck the "sync photos" box.
Then you sync your device by clicking something in the lower right (it probably says "Apply", but it might say "Sync").

You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

Turning off wireless sync

I have been trying to turn off wireless synchronization in my black berry ever since I got it.
When I go to the helpsection in my Blackberry Desktop Software program, it says
1. On you blackberry device, in the calendar application, Contacts application, Tasks application, or Memopad, press the Menu key > Options.
2. If necessary, click a calendar or contact list.
3. Change the wierless synchroization field to NO or clear the wierless synchronization check box.
4. Press the menu key > save.
NONE OF THAT EXIST ON MY BLACKBERRY!
I mean have all the applications but there are NO wireless synchronization check box.
There is NO wierless synchroization field! I can’t find any place where it says wireless synchronization on my blackberry. I can’t synchronize my calendar at all.
This is really horrible, what kind of stupid instructions does blackberry give out?
Has anyone come across this problem and is there a fix for it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

'Ello,
I have a BlackBerry Curve 9330 (v6.0.0.524, Platform 4.4.0.438). After installing the desktop manager software and attempting to synch my device with my pc, I received a notification that I must first turn off the wireless synchronization option on my BlackBerry. Okay, cool. But how?
Evidently with a headache. I tried following the directions from Research in Motion. I tried reading the user manual. I tried searching the web. I tried calling BlackBerry's customer service line to get a refund on the past two hours of my life I just wasted. But all of these attempts were in vain. You know why?
Because there is no "Wireless Synchronization" field, that's why.
I don't know how a company manages to give its customers false instructions or no instructions at all. I also don't know how I managed to waste yet another hour of my life on my BlackBerry. But after playing around with my phone, I figured it out. And now I will share with you lovely people!
So, assuming you already set up an e-mail account to be used with your phone, here's how to wirelessly synch your Blackberry Curve 9330 with Blackberry's desktop software:
Go to Messages on your phone. You can get there by either clicking the yellow envelope icon on the top of your screen or going into your apps and then clicking on the envelope icon.
Once you're there, scroll to the top and click on the date.
Click on Full Menu.
Go to Email Account Management (above Spell Check).
Click on your e-mail address.
Click on Edit.
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see Synchronization Options. Open it up and uncheck Contacts and Deleted items.
Save.
Viola! After following these steps, I could *finally* sync my BlackBerry with the desktop manager. Hope this helps!
