Why are contact and calendar entries painfully slow?

About half the time when I try to enter a new calendar item or a new contact, the keystrike response is so slow it is impossib;e to complete the entry.  This is with an iphone 4s runing IOS 7.0

You either sync your contacts & calendars over the air with iCloud or by USB with your computer...not both at the same time. Doing both will create duplicates.

  • I have 2 iPads with the same log in and password details. How do I make them independent of each other so that contacts and calendar entries are not duplicated

    I have 2 iPads. When gifting one to my wife I did not change the log in and security details. Consequently any contacts and calendar entries are duplicated. How do I make the iPads independent so that the foregoing duplications are eliminated?
    Thank you

    The logins on the iPads, for example the iTunes store can be the same if you share an iTunes account, this will not effect the Contacts/Calendars unless you are using iCloud to sync Calendar/Contacts in which case just setup a new iCloud account for your Wife and change the iCloud settings on her iPad to this new account.
    Unfortunately the contacts if syncing with your computer will be the same as it can only sync from the given contacts on your computer.
    You can use a different login to the computer for your wife and she can then have her own contacts.
    If your Contacts application on your compuer has Categories/Grouping you can tell iTunes to sync certain Categories/Groups to each iPad, that way splitting up the contacts on your computer for each iPad.
    The same is true for the Calendar if you only have the one calendar it will sync it for both of you, the iPad settings in iTunes has the option to pick a Calendar if you have more then one.
    One option is to use an online calendar such as Google Calendar and sync to and from it with your iPad that way the Calendars would be individual.

  • I just lost my contacts and calendar entries through icloud, how do i get them back?

    I read that the space being used up on my iphone can be from having iCloud backups on. So I turned them all off and thought when it said to delete the contacts and calendar eltries it mean the back up being stored on the phone, not the actual contacts and calendar entries. Can anyone help me to restore these items?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It sounds like you are turning off syncing (settings > iCloud) rather than back ups.
    Try turning them on again.

  • Missing Google synced contacts and calendar entries on ipad2, ios7

  • All Contacts and Calendars entries have disappreared

    All my Contacts and Calendar entries have suddenly disappeared from my iPhone4S, and the phone won't allow me to make any new Calendar entries. I've tried restoring from a back-up on my PC, but I get a messsage on iTunes on the PC saying no back-up is stored there, although I'm looking at the iTunes screen telling me when the last back-up was made.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    TIA

    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.

    You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.

  • Contacts and calendar entries go to ipad from iphone but not vice versa

    i've got the cloud set up on both my new iPad and iPhone--problem is when I make contact or calendar entries on the iPhone, they cloud right over to the iPad, but when I make entries into the iPad, they don't go to the iPhone--I've checked settings on both devices and can't figure out the issue--please help!

    Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account.  On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar.  Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
    Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default.  (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
    If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com.  Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone.  Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
    If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs).

  • Moving contacts and calendar entries from Outlook 2007 to iphone

    Don't know what happended - after installing newest update today - I do not have any contacts or calendar information on my iphone. I have had no problems for the last two months - now nothing. How can I get my contacts and calendar information back to my iphone from outlook 2007?

    In my case, I am sure that everything is set up properly. My calendar is still synching just fine, but I have NO contacts on my iPhone any longer. They are still in Outlook but just will not synch to my iPhone.
    I have tried resetting the sync history, restoring the iPhone back to scratch, creating a new Outlook profile, and even trying to synch my Outlook contacts from a different user account on my PC. None of these things have worked. I was synching just fine until the update but not anymore, and I am starting to get really angry....

  • Double Contact and Calendar Entries

    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS5 and an iMac running OS 10.6.8.  I foolishly got caught up in the iCloud fervor and converted my Mobile me account to iCloud - BIG MISTAKE.  I can still sync Contacts and Calendars, wirelessly (very slick), using iTunes. On the Calendar on the iMac, all previous Events are entered twice.  Not the end of the world, but messy.  Newly entered Events don't double enter, so far so good.  BIG problem is that on the iPhone, all my Contacts and Groups are entered TWICE; this does not carry over to the iPhone.  Settings on the iPhone > iCloud are Contacts ON, Calendar OFF.  I think that the double contacts appeared when I turned OFF Contacts on the iPhone.  When I did a Sync, it said that there were 608 Contacts on the iPhone that should be updated on the iMac.  I opted not to Sync them, hence no double enteries on computer.  How do I get rid of the double Contact enteries on my iPhone?  I know the easy solution would be to install Lion on the computer and Sync with the Cloud, but I have way too many PowerPC apps to make this practical or affordable.

    If you are syncing with iTunes, you do not want to sync via iCloud (and vice-versa).
    OOn yoru computer System prefs iCloud and tick Contacts.
    Select the iPhone in iTunes.
    Click the Info tab and uncheck Sync contacts (because you do not want them to sync via iTunes).

  • Cleaning up duplicate contacts and calendar entries

    I have a Treo 700wx, that I sync with Outlook, rarely with Active Sync - mostly with wireless sync (intellisync).  My input methods vary, depending upon where I am.  At home, I add/delete/modify calendar entries and contacts in Outlook on my laptop; at the office, I add/delete/modify same on wirelesssync.vzw.com; on the road, I make my edits right on the Treo.
    At this point, I have in some cases as many as 12 occurrences of the same calendar entry, 3 - 11 occurrences of many of my contacts, etc. I just want to get it cleaned up.  Does anyone know with which system I should start and what the best approach might be? I'm afraid of losing information that I need.  A diagram of how wireless sync works with each device and in what order between devices might help me...not sure.  I have no problems with email duplicates, oddly. (why is that?)
    I would be so grateful for help with this.

    Are you using iCloud as well as Outlook? You say Outlook 7, are you referring to Outlook 2007, or something else, as there is no Outlook 7. What computer OS are you using? If you go to the bottom of the screen when looking at your calendar and tap on the word Calendars, what is listed there?

  • Contacts and Calendar not loading into Droid

    I have my email set up and I am receiving email messages.  I have Calendar, Contacts, and Email selected in the account settings for this account, yet contacts and calendar entries have not downloaded.
    Just noticed I had to hit the sync button while in the inbox view to get an email that was 15 minutes old.

    Which email app are you using?  I use YAHOO and there is a setting in the APP that I have to set for the frequency of receiving emails ... unfortunately the lowest number is 15 mins.   You can check out other email apps that have more frequency - I think K9 is one of those that people seem to like.

  • Contacts and Calendar have disappeared from iPhone

    All my contacts and calendar entries have totally disappeared from my iPhone on 20.5.09. My free trial of MobileMe was due to end on 20.5.09, so on 17.5.09 I cancelled my subscription (didn't really use it). The only backup of my contacts/calendar was on MobileMe. Is it just a coincidence that my information has disappeared on the same day as my subscription ran out?!
    Message was edited by: KkAaTt

    When turning on over the air syncing for Contacts and Calendars with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, all contacts and calendar events on the iPhone are erased first and replaced with your MM online address book and calendar events. After the initial transfer from your MM online address book and calendar(s), contact info and calendar events are kept synchronized between the two.
    Your MM online address book and calendar events are designed to be kept synchronized with the supported application or applications on your computer.
    When a MM account is cancelled, the data on the MM "cloud" is no longer available.
