This being a Friday, I hope to not get yelled at posting a non-related subject :-)
I have an issue since the February 2015 update of iTunes with the sync functionality that syncs Contacts, Notes and Calendar events from MS-Outlook to an iPhone using iTunes. Previously the sync worked correctly taking into account which device the entry was updated later and then copied that to the other device. So if the entry on MS-Outlook on my laptop was updated later, MS-Outlook would update the entry on the iPhone. Similarly, if the entry from the iPhone was updated later, MS-Outlook would be updated from the data on my iPhone. Now after that February update, the sync operation is no longer a sync. Irrespective of what was updated later, the sync now just copies what is on MS-Outlook on the PC to the phone and looses whatever update was on the phone if that update was later resulting in loss of data. I am on the latest version of iTunes and even patches after that February patch, have not resolved this issue. I have also noticed that it does a true sync and not a one directional copy now ONLY if I close iTunes and delete the SyncServices folder and then reopen iTunes and perform a sync. So something has definitely broken since the February update of iTunes. Has anyone else noticed this? Joe PS: I have heard of options like google mail accounts and other cloud based solutions to use to sync this information but for privacy reasons I would rather have this information locally on my laptop/desktop rather than up in the cloud some place - even if it is a supposedly a secure place.. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
