3G 3.0.1 - contact phone munber to name ...

Has anyone notice on the iPhone 3G that has been upgrade to OS3.0.1 that the contact name to phone number resolution is a bit screwy?

My iphone will do the following

If a contacts phone number if set to the long format (international) ie 6427 123456789 it will resolve there name in SMS

Calendar stopped synching with Exchange ...

For some unknown reason, my iPhone calendar is no longer recognized by our university's exchange server. It had worked for months then I began noticing that certain items would appear on my desktop computer (Windows, MS Office, Outlook 2007). Now it no longer recognizes any calendar events..i.e. my iPhone calendar is completely blank. Outlook on the desktop works just fine, mail continues to synch between exchange server and iPhone but calendar does not synch at all. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the account, restoring iPhone. Nothing helps.

Syncing just one 'group' of contacts ...

I've just bought a 3GS iPhone and have transferred the contact numbers from my SIM card to the iPhone.

However, I use Address Book on both a MacBook and an iMac - the entries in these are not always identical. Is it possible for me to 'sync' just one group of contacts from the Address Book on my MacBook to my iPhone and then another group of contacts from my iMac to the iPhone? If any of these contacts have partial details transferred from my old SIM card will that mean I have duplicates or does the iPhone recognise that the SIM has only transferred, say, one contact number and will then go ahead and complete details for email address and home address?

Sorry if this is a very basic question but I don't want to end up with lots of duplicate entries and couldn't find the answer elsewhere

Cheers

Two iPhones, two accounts, but I need ...

I recently sold my old iPhone and got a new one. Through an unfortunate series of events I lost all the contacts on my new phone. I borrowed the one I sold (which still had my contacts on it) and synced it up with iTunes. That went fine but when I plug in my new phone it syncs but none of the contacts sync with it. I think because the phones have different names, it wont let me get my numbers. Is there a way to go from iphone to vcf card or just a way to view the contacts that I synced into iTunes? The most frustrating thing is knowing that I have those contacts and not being able to get to them.

Mail Disappears after arriving ...

I searched for this but couldn't find anything. I have Gmail (fetch, not push) set up on my iPhone 3G, latest software. 75% of the time, when I get a new mail message, my phone alerts me, displays the icon badge or email itself if I'm in mail, and then the message just disappears. I then reload, the message redownloads (and plays the new mail chime/vibrates again) and then always stays on the second go around. This happens both when I manually check and when the iPhone auto checks (i.e. I'll get a "new mail" chime, but my mailbox shows empty when I check so I open mail and reload and the message downloads).

Has anyone else had this problem? It seems to happen the majority of the time, but never to more than one email at a time (e.g. if i get 5 emails, only one disappears) and they even dissapear as I am looking at them during a manual fetch of mail. If I can open the message up quick enough, sometimes it disappears as I even have the message open, not just in the list view.

Help? It is really, really annoying.

iPhone calendar all-day events appear one day early when syncing with Outlook 2007 in Windows 7. The problem does not exist when I use Windows Vista. It only affects all-day events, not any other calender events, not even repeatable all-day events as birthdays.

In time-zone settings in Windows Vista the zones are all marked GMT, in Windows 7 they all are marked UTC. I think this is the problem and suspect that changes has to be made in iTunes.

However I'm curious if anyone had the same problem and/or found any solution to the problem.

Sync email, contacts

I want to sync email, contacts, and calendar on my iPhone and PC just like
it did with my blackberry, but I want to use a live mail account (or gmail or
other provider if Live won't work). The iPhone web pages don't list Live email account information any more like they used to. So I'm not sure what is going on with Live email and the iPhone.

I have an iPhone 2G (just today updated to OS 3.1) with the data plan. I have a Live mail account that I'll be using if possible. I currently have the updated contact list and calendar file that I want to use in Outlook 2003 on my XP desktop computer. I want to PUSH these items onto the iPhone because they have been painfully updated (from multiple accounts from multiple pc and phone upgrades). I want to continue using Outlook on the PC if possible, but want to migrate to using my notebook (that I plan to upgrade from Vista to Win7). I want the messages to dowload to the hard drive on the notebook for archival.

I know I should upgrade the Vista machine to Win7 before I start trying to
sync these 3 devices/areas (2 devices and 1 cloud??? ;-)). Once that is accomplished, I want to sync the notebook (outlook email and calendar and contacts) with the iphone (email, contacts, calendar) and Live (email, contacts, calendar). Will opened email show as "read" on the other devices at next logon? Will calendar updates work properly from any location and propagate to the other devices? Same for Contacts: can I change one anywhere and have it properly update at the other two locations? What about deleting email messages (or contacts, or calendar items), can it be done from any of the 3 and propagate to the the other 2?

Can it be done? How?

Yahoo Mail Draft folder unread count ...

My Yahoo "Drafts" folder on my iPhone 3GS is always showing an unread count that is incorrect. All of my drafts are read; in fact, sometimes the Unread number is higher than the number of drafts in the folder.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it: when I go to "Advanced" in my Yahoo account on the phone, the folder to choose to hold my drafts on the server is called "Draft" but it is actually called "Drafts" in my Yahoo account.

This mail account is set up as an IMAP account; I believe I created it using the phone's Yahoo selection. It's been working fine for 2.5 years, on my original iPhone and now on my 3GS. This unread count problem is new over the past few days, I'm pretty sure before the upgrade to 3.1.

I have tried some of the advice out there: creating a new email on my phone, saving it to Drafts and then sending it. But nothing seems to work.

Question 1. How can I get rid of this email?

2. I have gone into the iPhone Settings and switched off the mail account but when I switch it back on again it just goes back to its last position (all emails sitting inside the inbox, I expected it to delete the account and all emails which accompanied it, especially the large email mentioned above).

Question 2. Is there a way to delete the email account on either the iPhone or in iTunes? I have a few email accounts and only select the ones I need to use on the iPhone by clicking each one within iTunes, but that has never worked (I have to go into the iPhone settings and make the ones I don't want to use as inactive). Also, within iTunes, I have just deselected the aforementioned email account with the large 40mb email and synced the iPhone, but unfortunately it didn't switch it off and thus the account and all emails are still on the iPhone. Help!

Thanks in advance

Genius problems on new 3.1 iPhone ...

Unsure where this question is really supposed to go in all the forum subcategories, but I just got a new 32GB 3GS and am having frustrating issues with Genius.

If I try to pick any songs in my library to create a Genius playlist from, it never finds anything, no matter how popular the song is I pick.

Worse, if I play any of the default Genius Mixes, I get "unknown/unknown/unknown" in the play area and either it stops or takes me back to the home screen.

Any idea what's going on? I stopped by the Apple store but they didn't have an appointment for hours and I couldn't wait. One of the guys at the store suggested a full Software Restore. Again, this phone is like 3 days old. A full software restore already?

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions that might help please let me know. Otherwise I guess I'll go the full software restore and actually make an appointment (I didn't know you were supposed to do that) at the Apple Store.

Delegate for Executive getting delay ...

Seems like a lot of people are having calendar issues. Well, let me add one more issue to this to see if anyone has any answers.

Our Admin is a delegate for three Executives -two have Blackberry's, one has the Iphone. We are using MS Outlook 2007 with Exchange Server 2003. We have tested using MS Outlook 2003 with Exchange Server 2003 as well and have the same issue.

When the Admin creates meetings, the meetings don't show up on the Executives calendar (the one with the Iphone) right away. The meetings eventually show up, but it takes anywhere between 30 seconds to 4 hours. This only happens to the Exec with the IPhone. The meetings post within 5 seconds for the other two Execs that have the Blackberry's. The Admin has all the calendars open and is able to see the meetings get posted (or in this case, not get posted on the one calendar). The Admin is not happy and wants us to fix this. When the delays take a long time to post, she really gets mad. We have checked various discussion boards, posts, Google, and Yahoo but so far, can't find anything. We have also opened a case with Microsoft and have spent over 30 hours with various support levels troubleshooting. So far, everything points to the Iphone.

The Exec with the IPhone will not use a Blackberry, period. We support Blackberry's but recently had to start supporting IPhones. And now, we have these issues.

Hope someone can offer some assistance.

So we fixed them on Outlook and set the MM Control Panel in Vista to overwrite the iPhone data with the Outlook data. After they were both the same we would change the setting to Sync.

It starts the sync process and after 2 minutes an error pops up, "Unable to Sync Contacts." Any suggestions how to get the OL07 events to MM?

Limiting what the iPhone downloads ...

It doesn't appear there's a way to do this, but it would be nice if I could limit the timeframe for downloading email messages. In other words, if the phone gets some emails and I delete them and it can get some more, it only does that if they are more recent than a certain date. I don't want it getting emails that are two or three days old, for instance. I have my computer set to delete them only after a certain number of days. This is mainly so that I can still retrieve them again if there is a problem or if I have to use web access to view something, it will still be there for awhile. But I generally don't want my iPhone downloading old emails. Perhaps there's a way to limit that and I've missed it?

Gmail Active Sync: Country of contact ...

Hi.

I setup an "Exchange" account to sync my contacts (and mails, but mainly I'm interested in contacts, as far as that's concerned) from Google Gmail to my iPhone.

If data is entered correctly, contacts can be synced more or less well to the iPhone. I found, however, that the listing of the country isn't consistent.

Have a look at this screenshot, please.



You can see there, that the country in Google is entered as "Deutschland". When viewing the contact details in Contacts.app on the iPhone, it's also shown as "Deutschland" (and it's also used as "Deutschland", when clicking on it to see the map).

BUT: When editing the adress, it's shown as "Schweiz".

Why's that? And can I do anything about it?

If you have a look at the comment of \"grof\" at the bug report at Google (might need to expand to see all replies), you can see that I'm not alone with this issue.

Can anything be done about this?

Cheers,

Right now when I set the aol account as imap if I delete mail on the iphone it purges it from the server so when I go back with outlook later to save the email it cannot download the mail I deleted on the iphone as it is gone from the server.

The pop3 settings are working fine in this regard as it doesn't remove the mail from the server when deleted on the iphone which is what I want but when I send or reply to mail on the iphone using the pop3 aol account it sends just fine, the receiver gets the mail, but it doesn't save the sent mail anywhere, not on the iphone and not on the aol servers. I want to be able to send email from my phone but I absolutely have to be able to save all emails and the sent mail going no where is unacceptable.

Hello,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mobile.
I understand that a message with an attachment has been sent multiple
times from your sent folder using your Yahoo! Mail account with your
iPhone which has caused some problems with your bill and your mobile
carrier. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have
experienced and I know how frustrating this must be.
Unfortunately, this issue isn't related to a problem with Yahoo!, it is
actually related to the most recent firmware update for the iPhone and
is a known issue for Apple. In order to stop the message from continuing
to send you will need to delete it from your sent folder.

You should be able to find the most up to date information regarding
this problem and possible fixes by going straight to Apple. They're the
real experts on their own stuff, and can give you the most complete
information regarding this problem on the iPhone.
Again I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced.
I'm sorry that there isn't more that we can do to help. Please feel free
to let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns
regarding Yahoo! Mobile Services and we will be happy to assist you
further.
I hope you have a wonderful day!

sending (imap) email draft with ...

Here's one situation:

I type up an email and attach an excel file to it, then save it as a draft (in my @me.com drafts).

The draft email is now visible in the drafts folder on all of my devices: apple mail on my computer that I originally used, my iphone mail drafts, and also by signing on to www.me.com and opening my mail drafts.

one problem is when you open up an email draft on me.com that was created on a computer mail.app, only to see the message body text lose all of its formatting and appear to be jumbled html.

My main concern / question is:
The email draft with attachment appears to be in tact on me.com and on the original computer, but NOT on the iphone. On the iphone, the attachment seems to disappear.

Double entries in contacts after ...

I sync my gmail with mac address book and with iPhone. I told iTunes to sync with gmail and also told the address book to do the same. But I keep getting double entries in contacts.

First I tried to fix this by merging the contacts in gmail. But after sync they came back. Then I tried by deleting the doubles on my iPhone, same problem after sync. Then I tried deleting the doubles from my address book on the mac, same here.

Whats is really weird is that every time other contacts are doubled. And in gmail in all contacts sometimes even tripled or more.

This is really annoying! Going through 2500 contacts , again and again trying to merge or delete, is no fun!
Please, does anyone knows how to solve this?

Subscribed calendars push ...

Hi everyone,

Following subscribed calendars moving to mobile me in the 3.1 update I'm having problems.

First off I removed the subscribed calendars from my iPhone (accounts) so to remove the duplicates.

I have around 8 subscribed calendars but the main ones causing issues are my wifes 'home' and 'work' calendars which change/update regularly. When she creates an appointment it gets pushed to ical on my mac, but isn't being pushed to my iphone, which is where I want to see the appointment 70% of the time.

This is also happening vice versa for her iPhone and my appointments.

Any advice greatly received!!!

IMAP Mailbox not behaving as it should ...

Hi all,

Hope you can help.

Have recently set up an IMAP email account for my business on both my Mac and my iPhone.

Anything read or deleted on my Mac syncs with my iPhone as it should but when I read the email on my iPhone it does NOT appear as 'read' on my Mac. In fact, it marks itself as unread again if left for a while. Also mail deleted on the phone does not appear deleted on my Mac.

Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.

PUSH me.com mail, but still using ...

Since 1995, I have had a pobox.com e-mail alias which means I have never had to send out all those annoying "my e-mail address is changing" e-mails to all my contacts. On the downside, I am on every spam list on the internet (but fortunately, pobox.com filters thousands of them for me each day).

I currently use MobileMe for my primary mailbox, and I have my pobox.com address set to forward to my real @mac.com address.

On Mac Mail, I can easily set up a mail account that uses IMAP to retrieve mail from me.com, and when I sent mail the outgoing mail server is set to pobox.com so I can send "from" my pobox.com address securely, and any replies get filtered back through pobox.com.

On the iPhone, this does not seem possible. I have a me.com entry, which gives me access to PUSH calendars, mail and contacts, but if I try to configure it to use pobox.com for the outgoing server, I lose the PUSH integration.

My solution has been to have both a me.com mailbox, and a pobox.com mailbox. I set up the me.com to work with contacts and calendars, and leave the mail part off. The pobox.com account is set up like my desktop mail -- me.com for IMAP/incoming and the pobox.com server for outgoing.

Doing this means I do not get push notifies on incoming e-mail. And if I turn both accounts on, I get notifications on me.com then need to go in to the pobox.com account and let it load so I can read/reply so my messages come from pobox.com and not from the unfiltered me.com address.

What I need to figure out is how to have a me.com enabled account that uses an alternative SMTP outgoing server -- I want to retain push for mail, contacts and calendar but use something else to send.

Anyone know if this is possible?

iphone calender sync nonsense ...

Ok, I've looked through all the other threads - of which there are many - and tried all options thus far - still no good.
Here's the situation.

On ical on my imac, I have just 1 calender - called 'work'.
I have a mobileme account, and up until recently only synced my iphone via cable and itunes.
I now have numerous duplicated events on the iphone.
If I look in 'Calender' on the iphone, then at the top left oft he screen hit 'Calenders', I see that I have 3 'work' calenders.
If I just access 1 of the work calenders, great, but I can't therefore be sure that's the one that's synced!

Also, when I go into 'Settings' - 'Mail Contacts Calenders' - and access my 'me' account, when I turn 'Calenders' to 'On', it tries to then turns 'on' to 'off'!
I deleted the account, and then reinstated it and now 'Calenders - On' is fine, but the calender itself is still a triple version!
Aaargh!

Everyone may already know this - but it is worth repeating - Yahoo / Apple have released a simple CalDav Synch method - note that the Yahoo end is still Beta but it has been in development about 12 months.

Last Updated: August 18, 2009If you are running iPhone 3.0 software (released Summer of 2009) or newer, syncing calendar to your iPhone can be done without plugging into your computer.

1.Go to your iPhone settings application.
2.Tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars".
3.Tap "Add Account".
4.Tap "Other" and then tap "Add CalDAV Account".
5.For the "Server" you can simply type "yahoo"
6.Now type in the Yahoo! username and password you use to signin to your calendar
7.Once you click save, the iPhone will verify your username and password.
8.Next time you open up your iPhone Calendar you will see a page allowing you to select which Yahoo! Calendar layer you want to view/edit.
NOTE: Once you start syncing your Calendar with your iPhone you will be upgraded to Yahoo! Calendar Beta automatically. You will not be able to go back to the old calendar product once this is complete.

Notes-iPhone, Notes-Mail and Sync ...

Like a lot of us, I have had a difficult time with "Notes" and syncing my iPhone and my Mac Book Pro.

While I do not have all of the answers, I would like to provide some information - based on experience.

First, it is necessary to clear up some confusion.

On the iPhone there is an app called Notes. I will refer to this as Notes(iPhone/app).

On the iPhone there is a Folder in Mail called Notes. I will refer to this as Notes(iPhone/Mail).

On the Mac there is a category in Mail, within Reminders called Notes. I will refer to this as Notes(Mac/Mail).

1. In order to sync Notes(iPhone/app) with your Mac you must connect via USB. There is no wireless/MobileMe way to sync.

2. If you create a Note in Notes(iPhone/app) and then sync via USB with your Mac, the Note will appear in Mail, in the Reminders category, in the On My Mac folder.

3. If you create a Note on your Mac from Mail, in the name@me.com folder in Reminders, it will automatically show up on your iPhone in the Mail app in Notes(iPhone/Mail) but it will not show up in the iPhone app Notes(iPhone/app).

4. If you sync via USB, the Note you created in 3. will show up in the iPhone app Notes(iPhone/app).

Hope this helps.

Gmail and Hotmail question ...

I am thinking about getting an iphone and my friend has one. He uses hotmail as his email service. He does have his hotmail account linked up to the mail app that comes with the iphone. When he opens the app, his new email is downloaded and afterwards, he deletes the email. However, if he were to go directly to hotmail's website, those same emails he deleted will still be in his inbox. So basically, yes he can view his new emails, but it's not reflected on hotmail's website.

Is that the same case with gmail? I use gmail and wanna know if I use the mail app that comes with the iphone, will all of my mail folders appear in the app and will everything be "same time?" So to say if i delete an email from the mail application, would it reflected if i go right to my gmail account online?

Sorry for the draw out question, but its the only way I know how to explain it.

Post 3.1 Update, First Sync Mis-aligns ...

Anyone else have issues with the first sync after 3.1 bringing up a series of conflicts to resolve centered around newly mis-aligned address book fields? Both my phone and my wife's phone, syncing with the same Mac address book list, decided that every non-empty "child" field in a phone contact was suddenly a "brother" instead. Easy resolution during the sync because iTunes raised the alert that there were conflicts, but just want to raise the issue so Apple knows of it. Bottom line, they were all "child" before the update, and somehow during the initial sync, iTunes decided they were "brother".

Unsent message? ...

My iPhone has an unsent email message that I can't get rid of. When I first got the phone, I set up an email account and mistyped the SMTP address. Then I tried to send a test message, which failed, then later I either fixed the typo or I may have deleted that entire account and created a new one. I'm guessing that the mail app is probably still trying to send the test message to the bad address.

I can't find an Outbox folder, and can't figure out how else to get rid of the unsent message (it always says "1 unsent message" at the bottom of the mail window).

I also get several "Connection to the server failed" messages whenever I use mail. I don't know if these are related to the unsent message or something else, but they are very consistent, and annoying.

Any idea what I can do here?

On two of my mail account on the iPhone, ( both are .mac / Mobile Me account addresses ) I have one "Draft" message indicated as being present, but on opening the "Draft" folder in each account there's nothing there, and the "Edit" button is grey'd out so even if something did show up I couldn't erase it. So I can't clear these two "ghost" drafts from the iPhone.

my father-in-law has an iPhone 3G which he's used with his PC without a problem. I finally convinced him to buy a MacBook Pro (which he did today) and we've been unable to move the contacts from the iPhone to the laptop. The phone is connected to iTunes and all looks normal but when we select "contacts" to be synced to the laptop and then click apply, nothing happens. Tried to sync it, the phone and iTunes say "syncing" but the contacts are not showing up in the laptop's address book - very embarassing. I'm assuming it's something I'm doing wrong but I can't for the life of me find an answer.
