I am trying to get my Mac contatcs in sync on my old iphone 3G (not "S") without updating ditto phone any further than iOS 3.x as that makes the phone unbearably slow and practically un-usable. You know the story.
I don't mind connecting the iPhone to my mac and make a "wired" sync of all contacts but with OSX 10.7.3 installed, MobileMe contacts transferred to iCloud and WiFi sync activated for my other iOS devices I can't find a way to do so and sync this older iphone.
The problem appears to be with a "mixed" environment of WiFi syncing and wired sync.
Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 1 tb TimeCapsule, AAX, Apple TV2
I have just had a replacement phone and was led to believe that my texts and photo's were backed up and although I can see that I have used up 1.7gb of the 5 gb space in iCloud I can not find a way of re-syncing these items back to my iPhone.It has pulled back my notes and calendar items but these are not the equivelant of 1.7gb.
I have one calendar that is in a different section when I look at the calendars list that says "on my phone."It doesn't sync with icloud like the ones in the section below it called "Untitled Account".The phone made it the default calendar for some reason and now a BUNCH of appointments don't show up on the other calendars. How do I fix this.I want all the calendars accessed everywhere!
Can I sync my iphone to the computer after I have synced with iCloud? There are some deleted text messages we are trying to recover, and I need to backup and sync to the computer to retrieve the file from what I have found. Can I then sync back to the backup in iCloud?
All were syncing and now, nothing is syncing.Iphone calendar is not syncing to Icloud. Microsoft outlook is not syncing to Icloud. Not sure what is going on, but I need this working!
I just created a new contact on my phone yesterday (iOS 7.1.1 / iPhone 5s). But it's not showing up in iCloud when I log into iCloud.com or when I look in the Contacts.app on my Mavericks iMac or in Contacts on my iPad.Â
I seem to have about 30 contacts in the contacts group "On My Phone" that only exist on my phone and not on iCloud. (I assumed all contacts I create on my iPhone are synced to iCloud??)Â
Why are these "stuck" on my iPhone? How do I move them to iCloud?
For the past couple of days my iCloud email has not been working fully. I can still receive emails but all mail stored in folders will not download to my phone and I cannot move emails around in folders. For example I cannot delete mail or move mail from inbox to other folders. I keep getting an error message saying "Cannot get mail the connection to the server failed".
I synced my iPhone contacts with my iMac via iCloud, which was great because I had duplicate info with variations that needed to be sorted out. But I don't want to KEEP every single contact on my computer on my phone. How can I limit the contacts that sync to the iPhone while still using iCloud? I liked being able to be selective about contact groups when syncing with iTunes, but iTunes always made my duplicate info worse rather than better!
If I add a calendar entry on iCloud or on my laptop (Win 7, Outlook 2010) the event shows up on all my devices (iPhone, iPad, laptop, and iCloud). However, if I enter an event on my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.4) calendar it will not show up anywhere else. My iCloud login is set up with my ID login on all my devices. Also, my iPhone is set to sync Calendars and under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" my "Account" is correct, "Calendars" is switched "ON", and I have tried setting "Fetch New Data" to both Push and Pull. Still, whenever I enter an event on my iPhone Calendar it will not show up anywhere else.
When I update/change a contact on my iPhone 4 the change shows on iCloud but doesn't download to my computer Outlook 2010. I don't have this problem with the calendar.
I find that if I enter something on Outlook (using Windows), an entry in the Contacts or in the Calendar, it does sync with my ipad/iphone. But when I enter on the ipad/iphone, it does not sync with Outlook at all. I have resorted to emailing myself and then entering it when I'm at the computer. I've read here on the forums and tried various things but it doesn't seem to work.
I have 2 iPhone 4's, 1 is my personal phone, the other is my business phone, I want 2 different iCloud accounts, but both syncing to 1 computer, just so I can keep my personal and business life separate.
My contacts list will not sync to my iphone 4 since updating to IOS 5.1. I get an error message saying the iphone is using the contacts and to close this but I do not have it open. How can I resolve this???
iTunes syncs contact info from the iPhone to Outlook, but it will not input the contact photos which are visible on the phone into the persons contact information. They just show up as a white square. If I open the contact it acts as if it's not there and gives me the option to add a photo.
There are plenty of instructions out there, but they all vary to a certain degree, so I'd be grateful to hear from someone who has actually done it. Up to now I have been using an app called Smoothsync, but I've had many problems with it.
I think I'll have to go the Google way, but there are so many different instructions that I don't know which to follow, and the last thing I want to do is screw up my contacts database.
I work at a hospital and we are exploring syncing our iPhones with our Exchange server....(we are already doing this on a limited basis).
I sync with my work email (Exchange), and say for example, I also have 2 or 3 personal pop email accounts on my iPhone as well. Now let's say I turn on the syncing email with iCloud....it seems to me this syncs ALL my emails accounts with the iCloud. Which means hospital sensitive data would be in the iCloud, out of our control....
I cannot seem to be able to find a way to say, sync my personal stuff with iCloud, but do NOT sync Exchange mail with iCloud....in other words, it doesn't look like you can cherry pick which email accounts sync to iCloud.
let me know if these concerns are valid, or if there is indeed a way to specificy certain mail accounts to sync with iCloud.
This week I restored my iPhone since it's now offically been unlocked by AT&T. I'm now on a new carrier with a sim card overseas so I imported my SIM Contacts unto my iPhone, no problem and they are on iCloud also. Mind you I have the same iCloud as I did before. I have added people since then but now within my Contacts list theres two lists within the iCloud list... So I added a person with A and Y names, so they are at the very top of the list and then after the "new list" those are all my old contacts....
Discovered that a users BB has 2 contact lists both named Desktop. 1 is contacts that are syncing wirelessly and the other are contacts that were imported from his Standard feature phone back when he got the BB. The Standard feature "Desktop" list is not see on exchange, by Blackberry Desktop Manager, or any other tricks I have tried. It has over 152 contacts with multiple phone numbers on each so we are really hoping to get these moved over and properly syncing.
I installed .419 and resynced. Everything works fine but one thing - none of my contact pictures in Outlook are syncing to the BlackBerry. First time this has happened. I treid to clear the BlackBerry contact database and resync, but again, everything resynced except the contact pictures.
I am syncing my Bold 9700 with my address book on my mac using desktop manager for mac. When i check my contacts on the device, it does not show numbers in the 'main', 'other', or any field that has '2' in it.
Recently I have noticed that my facebook contact pictures o my phone (ray) has not been updating. Thought it was my phone so I have removed facebook and facebook inside xperia from accounts and sync and even clear the data from facebook in appications.
Readding the accounts, facebook is syncing up but I do not get any pictures, the photos/interest info is there when you view my contact but the picture is not there.
Is anyone having the same issue, there a bug in the recent update?
I just discovered that if I add a new contact on the phone, using the stock contact app and being sure it is added within the corporate synch account, when the synch happens with outlook, the name transfers over, the phone number transfers over, but the email address is not transferring over. It is blank even though I added it on the phone. I add the email address a second time on the phone after i see the contact synch on outlook and it still doesn't transfer over. I tried it with a test contact on the phone and the same thing happens.
The ms exchange service (3rd party) is telling me to make sure the data is current on outlook and remove the account from the phone and re-synch the phone w/ exchange. However I can't tell how much info will be lost by doing this (and am not going through to compare contacts from outlook to the phone) so am discounting it for the moment. They then say that the phone handles the synching.
Prior to posting I added on the droid, the business name, title, address and notes to the contact and they synched to outlook, but still no email address. I rebooted the phone, no email address. I deleted the address, saved the contact, waited 5 minutes, added the email address back and no email address synch with outlook.
I have a RAZR M. I synced my outlook contact list into Deja Contacts, but the phone does not "see" the deja contact list, so when I receive a call, the callers name does not come up, as it would if the information were in the native contact list. How can I get the native contact list populated?
