Weird things going on with my contacts. Anyone else???

My phone lost almost all internet and phone signal after the last update. I took it in the the local apple store and they traded me a new phone for my old one. New phone still had 1.1.2 on it. Took it home, downloaded the new itunes, and did the sync to get 1.1.3.
After the sync, none of my contacts or calendar events showed up on my phone. My music and pictures were on it, but that's it. After syncing 10 or so more times over the weekend, and doing a restore, the calendar events showed back up on the phone. (By this time I had already reentered the contacts)
My question: Where is this info stored on my computer when I sync my phone? I've looked in outlook, nothing there. They MUST be somewhere, but I have no idea where to look, incase this ever happens again. I've been on the phone with Apple Care all weekend and no one I've talked with has been able to help.
HELP!!!!

The calendar data will only sync from outlook 2003 or 2007 on a windows computer.
If you do not have any calendar data in outlook it will not sync to the iphone.
However, if you had calendar data on your previous iphone, when you connect it to the computer, itunes does an automatic backup. So, if you did a restore, then restored from a backup of the previous iphone, this would have put the calendar data from the previous iphone onto the new iphone.
As a precaution, I would really think about syncing your iphone with outlook if you have calendar data on the iphone. This way you can back your contacts and calendars to outlook. As long as you are running outlook 2003 or 2007.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Hope this helps.

  • Weird thing going on with Expose and Dock

    Weird things have been going on with my Macbook Pro. It's been like this for several months and it's very annoying. What happened was that at some point during using computer, the dock and the expose will go on doing strange stuff together, for the dock, it's the magnification not working properly, when i move my mouse over any application icon, the magnification didn't come up, but if I click on it it will, however, after having clicked on the icon it will not doing the jump motion like it usually does, what it does is that it's going to stay being magnified, even if i point the mouse elsewhere. That's the dock. The problem with the expose is with the all window view, where when i turn it on everything seems to be normal, but if i move my mouse around, anywhere, each window that has been shown in the "all window" view will keep flashing until i dont move my mouse again. And that's the expose problem. Two other problems that occur along with the annoying issue mentioned earlier is that say when you click on the apple icon on the top, usually when you move down along there will be a blue stripe as a background to the words like "About this mac", "System preferences" etc, but when the problem occurs it will not do that. And if you have any window opened that has a scroll for horizontally, it'll keep forcing me to the right hand side of the bar, even if i drag it to the left it'll still go straight to the right hand side automatically. These are the problems that log-out-then-log-in won't resolve, needs to be restarted, i cannot work under this kind of situation, and it's getting really frustrating although i really like my mac still. I'm not sure when it started to do this, one time i thought maybe an application like p2p may disrupt the system so one time i only had calendar, itunes working still it happened again. I have a macbook pro A1226, has been updated to 10.5 and went through all the software update already... still... Does anyone have have the similar or maybe exact same problem as I do here? Please let me know. If you know how to fix it even better, I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

  • Weird things going on with Iphone

    I updated to the most recent software the other day, it may be coincidence but now strange things have started to occur. Now it automaticlally goes into voice and sometimes starts to call people, it also will not charge and the home button barely works, it is now completely dead and will not recharge.

    You're welcome.
    I also got the double banner, and the website looks different and how it is designed when accessed with Safari on my Mac. Not sure why it is doubled with some iPhones and not others.

  • Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 Version 185673

    Something weird is going on with Compressor 4 (v185673).
    I've just completed a 1.5hr edit in FCP X (v10.0.1) and chose to send it to compressor so I can encode my MPEG-2 files.
    It takes approximately 5min for compressor to open and show the job to start with!
    I then drag the MPEG-2 preset and click on it, the spinning ball comes up and takes approximately 10min before compressor reacts...!
    Wondering if anyone else is having the same experiencing?

    after updating my my Iphone 4 I lost all contacts  - anyone else - how to resolve?

    If updating to iOS 7 caused your contacts to disappear, please call your AppleCare number and tell the advisor your issue. He should have you escalated to a senior advisor in which they can further assist you as far as trying to get your contacts back to you.

    Howdy MacRocker,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To start with troubleshooting an issue like this where you're unable to load certain websites in Safari, I suggest that you clear out your browser history and website data.

  • Macbook Pro Headphone Jack, a very strange thing going on with it? help

    Hello,
    My Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2011 has had this very annoying small issue for over a year with the headphone jack. Sound only plays through the headphone jack as per normal when i restart the laptop, but once i remove the headphones and plug them back in sound isn't going through the headphone, it's going through the speakers as if headphones aren't plugged in, to have it working as normal i have to restart the laptop again.
    Is this a hardware or software issue?
    Please help me resolve this..
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Since this is a brand new MBP under warranty, the best thing to do is to contact Apple and tell them about your difficulties. If you have access to an Apple Store, you might want to bring your Mac in and show them what it is doing. This does not sound at all normal, and it's very possible that you have hardware issues involved. If so, you should be eligible for a repair under warranty or possibly even a replacement if you are still in the first 2 weeks of ownership.
    There is a long thread which may be relevant:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12542170
    It's probably too long to read the whole thing, but you might browse the posted images and see if this looks like your problem.
    Good luck!

  • Weird stuff going on with my iPhone 4: losing settings, "set up your phone"

    I've had the iPhone since the 3G unit including the 3GS. I've had my iPhone 4 since 6/24 and all of a sudden in the last couple of days, I've been experiencing some weirdness I have never seen before in my iPhones.
    A couple of days ago, I noticed that the battery percent meter was simply turned off. I did NOT turn it off. It was just simply off now.
    Today, I synced my iPhone to iTunes 9.2 at home and the sync went fine. I realized right after the sync that I had purchased some music and didn't "Transfer purchases" (don't ya just hate remembering you forgot to do something just AFTER you unplug your iPhone! ).
    Anyway, I unplugged and plugged it back in. iTunes now showed a "Set Up Your Phone" screen and offered to restore a backup. Huh?! The weird thing is that the name of my iPhone 4 showed up correct in the device list AND iTunes was wanting to restore a backup of the same name.
    sigh
    I rebooted my Windows 7 64-bit PC and tried it all again. Same results. I then thought, I wonder if rebooting the iPhone 4 will fix the issue. I tried that. Same results.
    sigh
    Okay, I guess I'll let it restore the backup. I just went through that (takes about 7 minutes) and things are great now.
    Is that weird or what?! Never seen anything like that before. Is my iPhone 4 going bad?
    Weird. Weird. Weird.

  • T440p freeze with display corruption - anyone else?

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced crashing with display corruption similar to this:
    Link to image
    It happens randomly 1-3 times per day, and I have been unable to reproduce on demand.
    memtest86 and Lenovo's memory testing utility both pass.
    No critical events are logged in Event Viewer, other than "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first."
    Problem occurs both docked and undocked.
    Open files were often corrupted (overwritten with 0's) - this was resolved by disabling write caching on the drive.
    I've just about run out of ideas and this is incredibly frustrating. I found a github issue for Linux which might be related.
    System:
    T440p w/4700MQ and NVIDIA 730m
    RAM 16GB (Patriot PSD316G1333SK)
    SSD 256GB (SanDisk SDSSDHP256G)
    HDD 500GB in UltraBay (HGST HTS725050A7E6300)
    Windows 8.1
    BIOS 2.19 and latest drivers for everything (nothing available with Lenovo Update)

    Hi - 
    I'm wondering if the issue reported by mixdio is related to resuming from Sleep also.
    Though, I am not encountering corruption, I too have an issue with that same SATA drive (hgst hts725050A7E6300), when resuming from Sleep. My issue is that I continually receive "Problem Ejecting ... (hgst hts725050A7E6300)" (after waking from Sleep and logging in).
    I originally encountered this about a year ago. I just basically kept up on (Lenovo) System Updates and Windows Updates, ensured the drive in the UltraBay was locked in, and dismissed the error as false weirdness. Unfortunately, last Summer, that drive went corrupt and was unrecoverable.
    (my SSD on controller 0 went defunct as well - very bad sucky time - also a learning lesson: SSD like any other hardware device, even though it doesn't have moving parts, like memory, CPU, etc - they can all go bad ... I just look down and shake my head everytime I hear someone praise SSD like it's some Technological Messiah ... so foolish)
    But last Fall, I was able to correct it by running the "Fix for issue of HDD with HD detection for Windows 7" update (and starting the service in TaskScheduler - which is not outlined in the instructions).
    Now, for some odd reason, I am again encountering the error. And now I am basically going through Events and finding what I can on that drive  and searching for other "resume from sleep on Windows 7" issues.
    I'm on a W530 running Win7 Pro 64

  • Have lion on 5 year old 20" mac desktop. tried to download and received a message mountain lion not compatible with this computer. anyone else have this problem?

    have lion 10.7.4 up graded from tiger 10.5.8. tried to download mountain lion but received a message that mountain lion is not compatible with my computer. anyone have this problem or suggestion?

    It's actually not the chip... it's the drivers for the video card. this is what my friend who does IT work said.
    "The drivers for your Mac's video card are not 64bit compatible even though the computer itself is. Mountain Lion has done away with all 32bit OS components so it only runs on full 64bit MAcs now"
    So even though I updated my video card to a newer version and my computer itself is 64bit... apple didn't create a driver for it that was 64 bit. My hardware is fine for this update and the chip can handle it. It can handle all my 64 bit programs just fine. It's apple forcing me to update and buy a new expensive computer. So much for long lasting computer... they last long but they won't be supported very long.
    Why not release a version of mountain lion that supports 32 bit graphics alongside the 64 bit? Wasn't that what grand central was going to accomplish? This is rubbish.

  • This new version is terrible !!  It keeps on glitching on me so that I cannot burn cd's.  My playlist is replaced with "list" . Anyone else having this problem ?  Suggestions ?

    I keep on getting a glitch that changes my options at the top.  I lose the "playlist" option and it is replaced by "list".  I cannot burn cd's without the playlist option.  Anyone else having problems with glitches?  Any suggestions ?  I've already uninstalled and reinstalled twice with no luck.

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • New 4s connects with bluetooth in my Lexus, but I have intermittent problems with calls.  I can hear them, but they can't hear me.  Never did this with 3gs.  Anyone else have this problem?

    New 4s connected to my Lexus bluetooth.  Having intermittent problem with calls.  I can hear them, but they can't hear me.  Never a problem with 3gs phone.  Anyone else having this problem? 

    I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple.  I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it.  Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours),  I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
    I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway).  Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent.  I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
    Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something.  Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.

  • Had to work off safari to watch netflix via silverlight... tried uninstalling silverlight and reinstalling, but it appears the silverlight plug in will not work with firefox 4. anyone else experience this problem?
