Using Exchange and Sync for Contacts and Calendars etc.

I recently bought and iPhone 3Gs and I sync it through my microsoft exchange service. Then when I connected it to itunes I accidently synced the same contacts and calendar through it. It basically created a seperate contact list and calendar on the iphone. So my question is:
How do I delete the contacts and calendars on my iphone but not have it delete the contacts on my computer without resetting the iphone and loosing all my other files, music, pics, and data? I only want my exchange contacts and calendar on my iphone.
Thanks,

When you add an Exchange account and turn Calendar/Contact syncing, you are given the option of keeping the data currently on the phone, or deleting it. So, if you delete the Exchange account and re-add it, you should be able to choose the option to delete the content currently on the iPhone, leaving only the Exchange information.

That feature is available for your BlackBerry model ! First you need a Specific BlackBerry Data plan also known as BIS from your Carrier Vodafone to use this feature , Once you activate it on our account you can refer to those KB article for help :

Looking for reliable sync for contacts and calendar

Does anyone know of a reliable app that will sync contacts and calendars between my droid and my pc? I use outlook (not exchange). I have no problems syncing gmail and webmail. I tried Missing Sync but it won't bring contacts from my phone to my pc and it really doesn't sync. It creates duplicates on my phone while bringing nothing to my pc.
The operative word here is reliable.

Hi. I have my Microsoft Outlook synced to my google calendar which syncs to my iCal on my MacBook which then syncs to my Droid! LOL, a lot of different calendars but I use my PC for some things and my Mac for other things but I want them all to work together and it does with the google calendar. You can go to google, read the calendar section and it's pretty easy to set up. I have bells and whistles going off for birthdays and appointments but I never miss an event.
Good luck!

Can I use 1 apple id for contacts and one apple id for find my iphone

My family has multiple deivces on using the same apple id for store stuff and to find my iphone. How can I put a different apple id on my phone so our contacts won't get merged.

Yes you can. Changing your ID won't get rid of any of your previous purchases. You just won't be able to redownload them from iCloud. (They are permanently tied to the ID you used to purchase them and you can't switch IDs and redownload under the new ID for 90 days - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627). So be sure to transfer them to your iTunes library by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. That way you can sync them back at any time without worrying about having to redownload them.

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.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

While I have a few ideas, I think you'd have better luck troubleshooting this in the iCloud forum.

ICloud for Windows 8 doesn't sync my contacts and calendar

Hi,
iCloud for Windows 8 doen't want to sync my contacts and calendar with the local Windows 8 programs.
Look at the first line:
What's wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my bad English!

No, it's "Calendar" from Microsoft Corporation, and "Contacts" from Microsoft Corporation.
They are Windows 8 Modern UI apps, which are installed with Windows 8.1.

Usually, where there are issues like that, it has to do with incompatible programs that may be loaded at system startup. So, in System Preferences, look at your login ID, and login items, and see if any programs listed there should be updated to run with Snow Leopard. While in System Preferences, look at the bottom of the window where you may find some programs listed also. Check them too.
On your scanner, HP changed the way the scanners work under Snow Leopard. See this HP document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=219&product=3739150&sw_lang=#N377 . Scroll down and click the scanning twistie.

Successfully using Exchange to Sync iPad, iPhone, Gmail (PC) contacts. If I lose my iPhone and contacts were erased I would lose them everywhere! Backup!

I am successfully using Exchange to keep my contacts in sync on my ipad,iPhone and gmail(windows 7). But I think that if I lost my iPhone and someone cleaned out the contacts,then I would also lose the contacts on my Gmail and iPad. How can I do a regular backup of the contacts?

Im not sure that you can restore your Google Contacts from the iPhone Backup.
Try this: Go to gmail page on your desktop browser then in Contacts, click More and select "Restore Contacts".

Suddenly won't sync all Contacts and Calendars

I’ve been syncing my iPhone 2G with Mail, Contacts and Calendar on Outlook 2007 via USB for over a year without any problems. I recently added a Microsoft Exchange email account to Outlook on my PC but I use it only for email. The Exchange email account is NOT set up to sync with my iPhone. The Calendar and Contacts I use are in an Outlook Personal Folder and not the Contacts and Calendar associated with the Exchange account.
Ever since installing the Exchange account, the iPhone does not recognize my original Contacts and Calendar and is not syncing them. Instead it seems to sync the Exchange Contacts and Calendar, which are empty so now my phone has not Contact or Calendar data.
I have tried replacing Contacts and Calendar using the iTunes/Info/Advanced option but that didn’t work.
In iTunes/Info/Contacts and iTunes/Info/Calendars I don’t have an option to select multiple contact lists or calendars to synch.
How can I get it back to syncing the Contacts and Calendar I actually need?
Thanks

I have the exact same problem and it drives me mad - thanks for letting me know if you find a solution. Here is what I will try: export all my contacts from where they are in the pst file in outlook then "try" to reimport them in the ost file (exchange). I noticed indeed that if I create a contact in the ost file, it does get pushed over to itunes.
But there seems to be no way of telling itunes which outlook data file to use in priority, and if you select it as default in outlook you wipe out the content of your mail file on the exchange server. Not great.

How can I sync my contacts and calendars through iTunes again?

Since I upgraded to 2.0.1 I used to sync my iPhone over the air. Now that I'm going abroad I'd like to sync through iTunes again, to avoid high roaming costs. But I can't find a way to tell iTunes to sync calendars and contacts again. It tells me that these data are synced over the air and there is no checkbox or preference setting to change this...

Is this with a MobileMe account?
If so, you need to turn off syncing over the air for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks via your MobileMe account settings on your iPhone.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your MobileMe account.
Turn Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks Off.

Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

ITunes won't sync my contacts and calendars

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble syncing my contacts and calendars to my iPod, because iTunes say's it doesn't have any available, and then it asks me to open that application.
This started after I forcibly shut down my computer.
I've tried replacing the information by deleting all of my contacts and calendars, and restoring using the Backup application, and I still got the same message asking me if I wan't to open iCal/Address Book.
Any solution will be appreciated.
DC
2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook; 5.5G black iPod 30GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) Hard Drive: 60 GB; RAM: 512 MB

The most likely solution is to launch iSync
application ,and then in the preferences menu, click
on Reset Sync History button. This resets
configurations for the iTunes iPod sync process that
is dependent on the iSync system database system.
Is this the only way to do this? I am sic and tired of reseting my sync data as .Mac seams to have plenty of it's own issues. I use several computers Two for work and an extra at the office and one extra at home that I would have to then on the next sync accept all of the diolog boxes to get the most recent sync data on each computer. What a pain in the ... Not something that I want to do again as I have done it about 4+ times in the last month.
