Wireless sync of contacts

I have had my curve for a while and use an enterprise server for email (which works fine). recently I noticed that my contacts were not in sync and connected the device to my desktop and completed the sync. I now have NO contacts on my phone. My contacts are still on the desktop/server. On the phone in the contacts the wireless is grayed out. I need to get my contacts on my phone.
Help.

Crispy, thanks for sharing your concern. I understand how important it can be to have your contacts on your phone. I am hoping this issue has been resolved by now, but if you need further assistance, here are some steps. First, when you say the wireless is grayed out, are you going to your Contacts, press Menu, Options, choose Desktop, then Wireless Synchronization? If not, make sure that option says available. Here are some steps to delete the Sync service book and re-add it. If you are still not getting the option to turn on wireless sync, I suggest contacting your IT department, since they are the ones who control your company's BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server).

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!

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 :

Wireless Sync without an enterprise server?

Hello!
I'm not sure if this is even possible and it's probably a really dumb question....but here goes...I'm familiar the ability to wirelessly sync email, contacts, calendar, etc., in Outlook via a Microsoft Exchange Server. I'm trying to help a friend who has a Treo 755 and currently uses Hot Sync to sync these items to her Palm Desktop software on her personal PC. Is there a way to wirelessly sync all of these items either with Outlook or Palm Desktop without an enterprise server? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a valid question, and quite frequent here. Sprint used to offer a product named Business Connection Personal Edition (BCPE) that shoveled emails in real-time in and out of Outlook through a Sprint server. As long as you kept this product running on your PC, it worked very well. Unfortunately, Sprint decided last year to shut down this service. They then announced that Treo PalmOS and Centro users could migrate to a later release of this product named Sprint Mobile Email Work (at no charge if your data plan is $25/mo or more, otherwise it's $10/mo). You can read more about this product here:

Hope this helps! (If she's on another CDMA carrier, hmmm, no idea.)

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ron

the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more

Syncing ACT contacts while on automatic wireless syncing with Microsoft Exchange Server?

Does anyone know if this is possible? At the moment, my company is automatically performing a wireless sync between Outlook contacts and their Blackberry Curve 8330 devices. However, employees that travel also need their ACT contacts on their phone. I've researched CompanionLink and know that I can get the ACT contacts directly onto the Blackberry that way, but, the problem arises where the ACT contacts will end up syncing back to the Exchange server -- which we don't want. We want to keep the automatic syncing with Outlook, but periodically we want to do a one-way ACT transfer onto our Blackberries, without having those extra (approximately 5,000) contacts go back into Outlook. Is there an easy way to categorize/separate Outlook and ACT? Any ideas or workarounds?

80072ee2. This is probably a basic question but the server you enter into the Microsoft Exchange settings in active sync is the mail server you have in Outlook 2007? eg mail.internode.on.net. I don't need to do anything to outlook 2007 to "activate" Microsoft Exchange.
I'm looking at the Internode setup guides and it looks as though you have a POP server. In that case, if you want to sync directly to the server, you would want to set it up for POP/SMTP rather than for Microsoft Exchange Server. Does that help?
If you do not want to sync over the air and instead want to sync only by USB/Bluetooth to your PC, I think that works quite differently. I don't have any experience with that.

Does turning off iCloud backup affect my photostream, contacts, and calendar wireless syncing?

I keep getting the announcement that my icloud storage is almost full, so I checked into managing my storage. If I turn off the "Storage and Backup" on the bottom, will that affect my contacts, calendars, reminders, and photostream wireless syncing? I don't want to pay to get more icloud storage.

No, that just means it will no longer backup your device to iCloud.
More than likely it's the amount of photos and videos in your camera roll taking up all that space, hence why your storage is almost full. You can manually backup these photos and videos to your computer and then turn off the backup for just the camera roll (you'll see this option under Settings, iCloud, Storage & Backup, "This iPhone" or device you have, and then you can toggle Camera Roll on/off, where it also tells you how big the camera roll is) and still continue to backup the rest of the device (Settings, apps, wallpaper, etc) to iCloud. Or just turn the whole option off and backup to iTunes instead.

Trouble with wireless sync settings for Yahoo Calendar/Contacts

Hello,
Today I attempted to sync my Yahoo Calendar and contacts with my Tour. I was able to get it to synchronize when I connect it to the computer, but I intended to set up wireless sync.
If I go to the Calendar, and then select Options, I can see my email address under "Calendars." If I highlight and select my e-mail address, I can see the "Wireless Synchronization" option, but it says "No" next to it, and will not allow me to accept "Yes"--- it's just not an option.
How do I fix this?!
Thanks so much for any suggestions.

I also have the Tour and have the same problem....Did you ever figure it out?

BB 8520 Curve Wireless Sync of Calendar and Contact not working

--- REPOST ---
BB Model: 8520 Curve
OS: 5.0.0.681
Network: Mobilink - Pakistan
Can any one help me out, how I can get wireless sync working on my BlackBerry.
I have two emails accounts setup 1. [email protected] and 2. [email protected] where mydomain.com email is also hosted on gmail. I receive emails on both account and able to send as well.
None of these account contact and calendar are being sync. Previously when GoogleSync app was available I was using that, since Google has discontinued this app, so I have removed the app.
In calendar on device, I can see both the calendars and Wireless Synchronization: YES, but no update in either side i.e. If I create any entry on mobile it doesn't show on web or any new entry on web, doesn't show on device.
Very Important: If I access setup on device I don't see Contacts and Calendar under syncronization, however both options are visible if I use https://mobilink.blackberry.com/ to setup/edit email.
Looking forward your expert advise to solve this issue.
Thanks

Is it possible to sync only contacts and calendars to iPhone when syncing wirelessly?

I love wireless syncing between iPhone and iTunes, but I would prefer it if it only synced contacts and calendars and left the video and audio sync to happen when the iPhone was connected via a cable, as syncing all of my media files takes forever. Is it possible to set my iPhone or iTunes up to work this way?

Thanks, modular747. Sure, but isn't there only one "sync" button that will then sync everything, and isn't iTunes the only place to control what is synced?
I suppose one way to fix this would be to sync my calendars and contacts using iCloud. This would also mean that my iPad was kept in sync more regularly. But I use Google Calendar as a Calendar app and sync this to iCal via BusySync, and am yet to find a way that I can get this (and my Google contacts, which sync with my Address Book) to play nicely.
If there's some way I can use iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts between Mac, iPhone and iPad, while maintain the synchronisation I've currently got running between iCal, Address Book and Google, I'd love to hear it

Can't sync calendar, contacts, etc. in Outlook 2007

I just got a new computer and I can't figure out how to get it to sync my calendar and contacts to Outlook. I have my Outlook configured to send and receive my Yahoo mail. It was working fine until I download the Desktop Manager software. At that point, I could no longer send or receive email, so I uninstalled it. Can someone help me figure out how to sync the rest of my applications without killing my email?
Thanks, Katherine
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
Highlight the application name and click next button
Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
Check the radio button with Two way sync
Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desltop Manager 4.5
Example: Synchronize addressbook -
Connect you HH with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.
Click on the Synchronize button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on Configure Synchronization -> Click on Choose under Address Book (on the right side of the pop up window) -> Click on you organizer apps (like, MS outlook, Lotus notes etc) -> Select desired apps -> select Synchronization radio button and click OK twice go back to Synchronize tab ->click on Synchronize Now.

Companionlink Google for Calendar - OR - ANY Wireless Sync Software

I've been hacking at a way to wirelessly sync my BBerry Bold 9650 with Outlook 2007 and Google. Since the BBerry solution offers a good email sync, there is no problem there. Once you install Companionlink Google for BBerry it is clear that unless you want contacts to multiply you cannot have 2 programs doing the syncing. So, I erased the phone, backed up my contacts and calendar from Outlook 2007 - then erased them in Outlook, and erased them my Gmail contacts and calendar. Then I did a clean install of my Blackberry email setup for gmail - and "did not" check to have the contacts sync through BBerry's solution. All worked so far. Then I installed Companionlink on the PC (Vista), and configured that it would sync contacts and calendar. Lastly I had companionlink send a link to my BBerry with the mobile app - which I configured to sync contacts tasks and calendar. Then I wasn't getting my email. So I deleted my gmail account from the phone and re-registered it for email only. This worked. Everything was syncing like a charm. Next thing I know (about 3 hours later) Companionlink crashed!! Has anyone had this happen? After trying many apps to fully sync outlooks functionality I'm depressed! Who wants to plug the phone in every night? Can any one help with a solid and trouble free solution or app that works??

Again, not having a Windows Mobile Treo, have you checked the software download section on the VZW customer support area? I found this article which might be helpful. If you are talking about the VZW Sync software that sync your data and email with your VZW account, to restore that, you may need to hard reset your device. As a Sprint user, I don't know for sure.

Wireless Sync (not Bluetooth or WiFi)

I'm trying to find out if the "pushed" email/contacts feature is available on the iPhone. My Wife's Boss has it on her Treo using Version's Wireless Sync plan, and i believe Cingular/AT&T may have the same feature called Xpress mail, but i've not seen a Yes or NO anywhere concerning the iPhone.
basically, when her boss can't find a contact on her phone, she calls my wife and askes her to add it to her contacts on their exchange server (using Entourage), in few moments her Boss has it on her phone.
i haven't found anything that says absolutely "not a feature" on Apple or Cingular/AT&T's website. it is mentioned on Cingular/AT&T's site that the iPhone "Does not support enterprise e-mail such as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, Good Mobile Messaging, or Microsoft Direct Push", but the wording on that seems very proprietary anyway (as though the BlackBerry Enterprise Server would only be available if you had a BlackBerry). However, it also says "iPhone [will] synch with your contacts and calendar from Outlook/Outlook Express or Mac Address Book and iCal", but can this be done through the carrier's network rather than only a local sync (bluetooth/itunes dock)?
on Verison's website they give a lot of info on their version of this feature but not much is mentioned on Cingular/AT&T, so i'm still wondering if it's a feature that is only available through Version, or if Cingular/AT&T is just not marketing it as well.
this seems like a real big downer if they don't have this as a possibility. all the other great new innovations are really great, but this seems to be a standard for corporate/enterprise, how could this not be a feature.

Hi Gailid,
Do you know how your wife's company's exchange server connects to the AT&T network to update the phone?
I remember either Verizon or T-Mobile having something on their web site where you could enter your contacts using a computer with a keyboard and then send it to your phone to save having to use the numeric keypad to enter a large number of contact names.
I couldn't find a similar feature on AT&T's site; actually, it specifically says the iPhone doesn't support direct push (RIM and MS Mobile devices only) and that contacts must be syncronized using a USB connection and iTunes.
However, I suppose it's also possible to send an email with the contact information to an email account accessable by the iPhone and just dial the number from the email and store it in contacts on the iPhone at that point. Not very high-tech, I know, but it will do in a pinch.

Why can't I sync updated contacts to iPad

iPad IOS 5.1 on iPad[1]; iMac 10.7.3 intel core duo
Contacts on iMac do not transfer updated information to iPad. Following instructions to sync on the Wi-Fi 'help' does not do it; neither does connecting iPad to iMac/select device/click Info/select contacts/click Apply
I *do* get the original Contacts [duplicated] I do *NOT* get updated addresses/details of new contacts, which are in my Address Book on the iMac... HOW do I transfer this 'new' information? HOW do I prevent/delete duplicates?

Thank you for helping: I have been using iCloud/wireless syncing but then tried to sync using iTunes and the computer connection.
Neither has updated my contacts...
I now have 4 sets of duplicates of existing contacts.. and NONE of the new addresses/contacts has been added.
[a] should I try deleting the entire contacts/address book on iPad, and then try to transfer contacts [start all over]
[b] HOW do I delete duplicates, and better still how prevent them in the first place?

Wireless Sync Problem.

My iPad Mini and iTunes 11.2 are both setup to wirelessly sync. The sync starts just fine, telling me that iTunes is 'preparing to sync', syncing email accounts, and then the sync stops, showing the message "The iPad cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)"
Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

Howdy lightworks56,
It sounds like you are getting error code 50 when trying to sync your iPad to your computer. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article named:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4062
Start with these steps:
Quit and reopen iTunes and restart your iOS device
Quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, restart your iOS device.
Restart your network router
Restart your home network router using the manufacturer's instructions. You may need to disconnect the power cord for 30 seconds or more.
Note: During this time, Internet services, such as a VoIP-based phone, won't work, and you may need to reset additional network devices.
Check your network connection
Make sure that your Wi-Fi network has an active Internet connection.
Make sure that you connect your iOS devices and computer to the same network over Wi-Fi.
Check for network configuration changes that may interfere with syncing:
VPN configurations
Extending the Wi-Fi network through multiple wireless access points or routers
Guest networks or other security configurations that limit access between devices
Routers that configure different networks for different frequencies such as 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz
Connecting the computer over Ethernet
Wake up your computer and open iTunes. If your computer is asleep or iTunes isn't open, the device may not sync.
Update your router. If you're using an AirPort or AirPort Time Capsule, you can learn more about firmware updates. If you're using a router from another manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to ask about available updates.
There are additional steps to use after these if needed in the article.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
