8 Steps to make your iPhone sync your data Over the Air
July 23rd, 2008, Hedi Regaya |
A lot of people are complaining about the fact their iPhone isn’t receiving anything from the MobileMe cloud; and I was one of them; but I finally managed and it is now up and working!
Here are the steps I followed to make my iPhone sync my data “over the air“:
- Sync the iPhone and uncheck the email sync (in iTunes)
- Open mail.app and deleted my .mac account
- Setup a “brand new” mobileme account
- Sync from system preferences the datas (contacts, ical etc)
- Sync the iPhone and check the MobileMe account (in iTunes)
- Went to the iPhone and set it up (pref>general>mail, contacts…) to sync these datas over the air
- (I saw) the contacts names appearing instead of their phone numbers in the recent/missed calls and on the SMS received and sent but still nothing in my address book
- Restart the iPhone: everything is there!
I still don’t know which of these steps made the “thing” work though…
