My iTunes music lives on an external hard drive. The iTunes program, of course, lives on the computer. When I am trying to synch Contacts and only Contacts, does the ext HD have to be connected or does the Contacts data live on the computer? I do not store anything in the cloud.
Info:
MacBook Pro 15 in (early 2011), Mac OS X (10.6.7), 250G, 500G, 1T Ext HDs; FCE HD 4.0.1; CS 5
iTunes goes through the whole synch process step-by-step including saying it's determining tracks to add etc etc but then it doesn't update the music and often doesn't update the app's. I may have to try synching 2, 3 or 4 times before it will actually applies the changes.
The annoying thing is it will say it's synched & the synch is complete but it isn't and hasn't. I don't receive any alerts saying that the synch coudn't be completed etc.
Presently have around 21Gb free so it's not a space issue. iPhone is latest iOS update & iTunes is likewise.
First my app updates would not complete on the phone for certain apps. i hooked u to my itunes on Win& and it transferred purchases it seemed. But when try to synch get message that synch failed to start. Help!!!
My iphone will no longer synch new contacts in my Address Book on my Mac. It was working fine and then I loaded too much audio content and ran out of memory so I think it could not synch properly without memory available. I've since deleted all my audio and have plenty of space yet new contacts in Address Book do not show up on my iPhone even though the synch process appears to complete.
I'm a newbie to iPhones and have just got a 4S. I use Outlook 2007 [not Exchange] as email client along with Contacts/Notes etc.I have previously used Nokia PC to synch specific Outlook contacts and mail folders with Nokia E75 [i.e. just the ones that are relevant] because there are too many folders and other extraneous stuff that will just fill up the iPhone needlessly. Also extremely time consuming and resource hungry to do it all the time. PST is currently about 2.5Gb How do I select just specific folders from Outlook to synch with iTunes/iPhones? The other option would appear to be to use Google/GMail, which seems obtuse when iTunes is already on the computer. it just seems to be a pretty blunt object for a device with such finesse.I am also trying to find out how to make good use of the Blutooth and/or Wifi connection. which is easier/better/faster or is the USB cable the best, fastest and most reliable option?
I just purchased the Samsung r330 (through PC Mobile) to replace my dead Nokia 2855i. (PC Mobile no longer offers Nokia;s). The unknown was my contacts, how to get them from one to the other. I was not able to find a direct way to transfer but fortunately the contacts were backed up to my PC (running Windows XP). The process is relatively simple through bluetooth - if your contacts are in Microsoft Outlook. Step 1 - pair the phone and the computer. Step 2 - Open Outlook - Contacts/ Highlight the contacts you want to transfer. Step 3 - In Outlook go to File, Send to Bluetooth.I was able to transfer multiple entries at the same time.
I had to create a new Outlook profile, but Ovi kept syncing the old one.I changed the name of the new profile to "Outlook": Now sync doesn't work anymore ("Sync. aborted - Please reconnect you phone").How can I fix this?
I have deleted an old e-mail address I no longer use, but it's still synched to all my contacts on my phone. I have a new e-mail address that I would like to replace it with. I can't seem to remove the old sync and add the new one? Anybody know? I think I can do it manually one by one, but I have like 200 contacts.
i have Blackberry 8520, and using blackberry desktop ver 5 installed on windows 7 pro and outlook 2010. when i choose syncronization from configuration menu i recieve "No Available message stores".
So I added a new gmail email address to my phone but by accident, when prompted told it to synch my contacts with that account. The first thing it did was import all the contacts to my gmail address book, on gmail.com, effectively erasing most of them from the phone. I took it into the t-mobile store and the guy somehow managed to recover about 1/3 of the contacts. So when I took it home, I deleted that email address and just plugged it into my computer and re-synched the contacts from my address book. However, whenever I look in my address book on the blackberry now, at the top of a contact it says "Sychronize using: emailaddress@gmail.com" (Obviously insert the email address I used). But that email address is no longer on my phone, so how is it synched with that? It also I think it is creating problems with synching up my facebook contacts as their pictures no longer show as icons on my phone. It's a minor problem, and seems to be a software issue, but is there any way to completely un-sych my contacts from this deleted email address?
I have been synching both Yahoo Address Book and Yahoo Calendar successfully for months.Suddenly, Address Book no longer synchs.Yahoo calendar still works.The problem occurs aftew Desktop reads all the contacts.It halts while "Synchronization Progress reading from Yahoo Address Book" displays.That message has displayed for up to an hour with no progress.I then disconnect and halt Desktop.I can still synch Yahoo Calendar.I have not updated desktop or device software.
Ok I have been using my Navigon GPS occasionally and sometimes when the spoken directions are played though the speaker, it's so soft I can barely hear it. So I thought it was just the app. But now, I was just using my phone texting people and all of a sudden the sound became very faint. I can barely hear it. I then went to the iPod app to listen to some music through the speakers and I still can barely hear it. I reset the phone and now everything is working again. Is this normal?
My iPhone 4s will not discover my external bluetooth gps which is located within 100mm of my iPhone. I have tried with location service swithed on and off. Bluetooth is switched on and the GPS is transmitting. Does this mean that the iPhone 4s will not work with an external GPS?
Only my right external speaker is giving out sound. If I cover it up I can't hear anything. Seem the left speaker isn't given out any sound. Could I have a setting wrong? Or is my speaker broken and as a result need a replacement phone?
Those of you who had the 3GS, and especially the 3G, and listened to podcasts or music with the external speaker, is the iPhone 4 speaker louder? Is it clearer?
What are your first impressions? This is one of the things I really hope is improved.
I'm trying to find a cable to connect a 3.5mm external lapel microphone to the iphone4. There are threads which mention a KV Connections cable, but some people seem to have had problems with this. Anyone actually successfully using their iphone4 with an external 3.5mm mic?
My microphone for Siri and typing text by speaking is not working. It works using Google, and when using voice memo. I've been told that it may be a firmware issue. I have the latest upgrade. (It's and Iphone 5.)
So there I was, watching video on my iPhone 4s without the headphones in when all of a sudden there was no sound coming out of the right side speaker! I tried to clean the speaker with no luck. I powered the phone off and on, I reset the phone to the factory settings, I even tried to restore the phone from iTunes via my computer. All attempts to fix this failed, I would also like to add that this phone has never seen a drop of water nor has it ever been dropped on anything harder then a pillow. I treat this phone like a new born baby, so why would my speaker suddenly stop working after two and a half months? I've spent hours on the internet looking for solutions, and it doesn't even appear to have a "mute" option just options to turn sound on/off and up/down.
My external speaker doesn't work for notifications or ipod audio. It only vibrates no matter what type of notification sound is selected. Incoming calls come through the speaker ok. I cannot control the volume with the side volume buttons unless I am in the Settings>Sounds screen and if I move the volume on the touch screen first. Of course the mute button on the side upper left above the voume controls is not on. Also, the setting under Settings>Sounds>"Change with Buttons" is "ON". I have reset the iPhone and the nothing has changed. I know the volume buttons work because when I plug the earphones in, it will control the volume up or down.it is a software issue or setting.
The external sounds on my iphone have completely shut down, the speakerphone doesn't work, the ringer doesn't work, everything else appears to be working normally, what should I do with the phone?
I have some questions about the iPhone 4 and would appreciate your input please.
1) Does anyone know the specs for the HD video recording for the iPhone 4? 1080p or?
2) What kind of cable will I need to transfer the photos and video I take with an iPhone 4 to my Macbook Pro? And is that cable included with the iPhone 4?
3) Does the iPhone 4 have a screw-in thing where I can attach a tripod?
4) I was going to buy a Kodak Z18 HD video camera to film some instructional videos because it records nice HD 1080p video, has an external mic input and costs only $150.00. Does anyone know if the iPhone 4 will be able to do video that is as good as the Kodak Z18?
5) Does anyone know if I can use a external wireless mic with an iPhone 4 and can you recommend one?
