did you find a fix in itunes for the INFO sync issue?

krissenbee · Jun 29, 2007, 09:47 PM

mine did the same thing. I added a group in my address book and had it sync that group only... After that it synced all of my email and stuff too. You should try it.

Do your checked boxes become unchecked when you hit apply? Anyone else have this problem?

supersize · Jun 29, 2007, 10:01 PM

I am getting the same issues, it also takes forever to sync then it doesn't actually sync the calendars, Email, or bookmarks. It did sync the contacts though. I've tried creating new calendars with no success.

bluecluee · Jun 29, 2007, 10:06 PM

Anyone else? Is this really that sporadic ?

spongeweed · Jun 29, 2007, 10:09 PM

Tried a reset, still no luck here. No way to create an extra group, as that is greyed out..

Same thing :-( Is apple support around this time of day?

question, if you people use outlook ( i know all of you are mac guys but those with a PC) if you have contacts with photos attached IE see below will the photo's sync up as well, do they display when the contact calls your phone?

PhatBoyG · Jun 30, 2007, 01:36 AM

When I tried to sync my Outlook, it didn't work until I VPN'd into work and had an active connection to the exchange server. Then it worked fine, contacts and calendars.

Just be sure to set your time zone!

Has anyone had any luck clearing up this problem? I can't sync anything on the "info" tab. I let a sync go all night long, and it was still syncing in the morning. Everything else syncs fine, as long as I deselect everything in the info tab.

I still have the same problem. I create new contacts and groups in Address Book and iTunes doesn't see any of them. Even after Restoring the iPod, restarting the computer -- everything!

No contacts, no email, no safari! I have that stuff backed up to .Mac -- you'd think that might HELP!

seamuskrat · Jun 30, 2007, 01:19 PM

I can sync music, movies and contacts but not bookmarks, mail accounts.

It says iPhone disconnected. Arrrggg.

Grimace · Jun 30, 2007, 03:08 PM

Why are people having issues with only certain syncs? It's really annoying and I think iTunes is to blame. I restored the damn thing -- maybe reinstalling iTunes will help...

Anyone have ideas?

help?

I had to re-install os x (as sync would lock up when trying to launch) I performed a complete erase.. all data resides on ext hard drives, so it was painless. after updating software everything worked perfectly.

jamesarm97 · Jul 1, 2007, 10:38 PM

I can sync, but I end up getting duplicate entries and they keep building. I ended up disabling .mac syncing thinking it was a problem.

Grimace · Jul 1, 2007, 10:45 PM

I did the same thing. I also went into the general "settings" of the iPhone and went to Reset -- then Reset All Settings. Suddenly, my music (which had synced but didn't show up) -- appeared!!

Zoot33 · Jul 1, 2007, 11:31 PM

My contacts, Ical and Safari bookmarks didnt sync no matter what box I checked. Finally found some tips from apple support page.

RESTART YOUR COMPUTER! Thats all I needed to do and now I'm all synced up and humming!

Now does anyone know if we can synced with our main computer AND our laptops? Let me know what you hear!

atlantadave · Jul 11, 2007, 10:11 AM

I'm having the same issue as bluecluee & spongeweed - in iTunes the checked boxes become unchecked when I hit apply.

Anyone able to figure this out?
