Why my contacts doesn't appear in my iPhone after synchronizing with iTunes?

Hello, I have a problem with the syncronitzation of my contacts.
I will explain all and it will be so great if there is somebody who knows how to solve the problem...
I have different devices of apple with different Software:
Two Iphones:
a 3G (16GB) with iOS 4.2.1
and an Iphone 4 (16GB) with iOS 5.0
Two computers:
an iMac OS X with 10.4.11 (Tiger) (Details: 2GHz Intel Core Duo + 2GB 667 MHz DDR2)
an Macbook Pro OS X with 10.7.2 (Lion) (Details: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo + 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3)
A Time capusle
I also have a mobilme account and I just transfer all the information to iCloud.
Until here all is ok. So where is my problem?
I have just install Lion to my Macbook pro and iOS5 to my Iphone 4, and until here all is working, but my problem is now with the rest of the devices.
As I cannot install iOS5 on the iPhone 3 it does not synchronize with iCloud. The same happens with the iMac - as I cannot install Lion I can not synch with iCloud.
To make it work I tried to restore the iPhone 3 and reimport the back-up that I had on the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 3. It worked but it did NOT copy the contacts and the calendar.
Thus, it all goes down to one question - can I somehow configure all the devices to be able to synch automatically through the net? And if the answer is really no - what other options do I have to synch all of them?

Why don't my tones appear on my iphone after the ios update?

After updating my phone to the iOS 6.0 I can't find the tones I downloaded (to the phone), even though iTunes shows them in the "Tones" page and they even appear on the "On this iPhone" page in iTunes...but they are not in the tones list on the phone. Where are they?

i just ran the diagnostic in itunes and it says that itunes doesn't find any usb ports. they're clearly there and working. thought i'd add the info just to see if anyone had a clue as to what was going on.

Avatars from Google Contacts is not showing anymore on iPhone after sync in iTunes 10.7

Sorry for my English in advance.
Before update to iTunes 10.7, avatars from my Google Contacts was transfer to iPod Contacts well. After iTunes was update I had to connect with Google Contacts in iPhone “Information” (in Russian) menu again and after that newly create contacts in Google Contacts is transfer to iPhone without avatars.
Please, help.

I was having the same issue too. I was hoping that apple will address this issue with a SW update or at least someone from apple would be kind enough to answer this thread.
After researching for a couple days I found a solution. It's not the most efficient, but it works. You'll need a CD-R or CD-RW with this method. The trick is you need to convert m4p file format to mpa or mp3 file format.
You can follow the following steps:
1. Open iTunes
2. Create a New Playlist: File -> New Playlist
3. Drag the song(s) to the playlist you just created. Note: Depending on the file size you might only be able to burn just 1 song at a time
4. Insert a Blank CD to your disk drive.
5. Right click on the playlist then click "Burn Playlist to Disk." Then click burn. Make sure the Disc format is set to Audio CD.
6. Once the disc is finished, click on the CD in the device section in iTunes. Right click the song and click "Create AAC Version." This will create a .mpa file into your iTunes.
7. Copy that file to your iPhone and you're golden
Hope this helps guys. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it works and now you can workout with those tunes. I know I've been quite frustrated because my tracks didn't show up, hopefully the new SW update will fix this.
I would appreciate any apple genius' solution that is more efficient as well.
Cheers

Check in your settings - under Mail, Contacts, Calendars...
In your accounts you will find that your email accounts will also have notes. If you share an email account, you might have notes turned on as well...

My iPod doesn't appear on my desktop or in my iTunes when connected

I have a 10GB iPod which I brought autumn 2003.
I recently removed all of my music from my iPod so that I could update them properly. Now when I try to connect my iPod to do this it doesn't appear on my desktop or in my iTunes. Not even the 'do not disconnect' message appears. It just seems to think that it is connected to the power adaptor and shows that it is charging, first just on the small power sign located at the top right hand corner of its screen, and then the full charging screen.
I am using the Firewire cable that came with the iPod.
The 5 R's suggested on the support web-page don't work. I can't restore my iPod to factory settings as the updater requires for my iPod to be connected, which it is not regestering. The problem in the first place!!
Any suggestions?
Please, please, please... I'm loosing faith.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Unfortunately, as my computer isn't recognising my iPod as anything, I can't do these things you suggested on my computer.
I tried it on a friends, using my cable, and that all worked -which suggests it's a problem with my computer? But getting home it was all the same as before.
I just removed all iTunes and iPod everythings off my computer and re-installed them using the original disc. I installed iTunes first, and then the iPod, and that worked, it connected and I restored my iPod to factory settings.
I had to disconnect my iPod to use the port for my external hardrive, to upload all of my music again. and now that all the music is there and I have something to put onto my iPod, the bloody computers not recognising it again!
Any other ideas?

HT204291 Apple mirroring needs a protocol to message EXACTLY why, when mirroring will not appear on an iphone.

Apple mirroring needs a protocol to message EXACTLY why, when mirroring will not appear on an iphone. It is sloppy architecture to simply have the mirroring / Apple TV buttons not shown when something is wrong - especially when both iphone and AppleTV are on same WiFi network with solid signal and no interference. Trying to figure out why (fickle) mirroring will not appear on the iphone should not be a guessing game, as the current architecture has it now. At least have a message protocol so the iphone can be told what is preventing mirroring so it can report to the iphone user.

I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

Hello!
The cloud logo means that you purchased these songs from the iTunes Store but haven't downloaded them to your computer yet. If you want, click the clouds to download the songs and the cloud logo's will disappear for those songs too.

How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

Hi, Did you work out a fix for this? All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!! And yes i too back up regularly.
Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone! Never to be found.
All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
Extremly disappointed again!

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
Bob
