Contacts on iPhone and Outlook 2007

Is it possible to sort your contacts by company name in Outlook and by the person's last name on the iPhone?

Go to contacts on your phone/ipad, click groups, make sure that the only checked contacts are icloud. That shoud do.

How to export contacts from iPhone to Outlook 2007

Duplicates IPhone and Outlook 2007

Yo!
I am continually getting duplicates between my IPhone 4 and Outlook 2007.
I delete the duplicate from Outlook and re-sync - still duplicated on phone after next sync.
I delete the duplicate from the IPhone - still get the duplication in Outlook after the next sync.
I am wondering if the way I make the entries into Outlook is causing the problem.
Here is how I enter data into my Outlook Contact list:
If it is a name of a person: I just enter the full name into the "Full Name" field: ex: John Smith
However, if it is a business or I want to manipulate the name so that it is organized alphabetically, I enter the name just into the "Company Name" so that the "File As" field will display and sort the name alphabetically. Ex:
If it is "John Smith Plumbing and Electrical", I enter this into JUST the "Company" field. I do NOT enter a name into the "Full Name" field.
After syncing using iTunes, going through my contact list, I will see a duplicate of the John Smith Plumbing and Electrical contact. One will my original, and the duplicated one will have John Smith Plumbing and Electrical in the "Full Name" field.
Hopefully I have described my situation clear enough.
Is there a known fix for this?
Thanks in advance

Synchronizing my contacts between iPhone and Outlook

I currently synchronize my calendars between my iPhone and Outlook via the USB connection between my computer and the phone. I tried to do the calendar synchronization through the iCloud, as that looked really slick, but I didn't like some of the side effects, so I went back to synchronizing directly between my computer and my phone. It seems like to synchronize the contacts, the only option is to use iCloud, but I don't know if I can do that only for the contacts and not have my calendar involved? Any suggestions on how I do this?

Merging contacts between iphone and Outlook rather than syncing

I want to be able to update a contact on iphone and in Outlook and when I sync I want the contacts to merge.
At the moment they seem to sync so if I have deleted on old phone number in Outlook but it is still on iphone it reappears after the synce and vice versa.
I want to merge so I can edit freely on both devices and on syncing be given the choice what information to accept or reject (like my Nokia E51 used to).

Problems with synching calendars between iPhone and Outlook 2007 on Windows

I recently purchased a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64. It was an English version, but since it is ultimate I downloaded and changed it to Danish - so far so good...
I have synch'ed between outlook and iPhone on a Vista platform without problems, but now on windows 7 when I sync - the result is, that on my iPhone the meetings, work schedules and birthdays I have in my calendar is shown a day too soon!!
I have checked that both iPhone and Outlook start the week on Mondays, so that is not an issue - I have updated my iPhone to the newest software with out any luck - so now I try and write here instead - hopefully someone can help me...
thanks in advance

yes they were set to the same timezone - which puzzled me a lot...
I lost a lot of sleep, but I can now say that I have solved the problem...
What I did was, that I un-installed microsoft office (desperate I know!) - then ran a sync with the iPhone choosing to overwrite the Calendar in the phone - as there was no calendar present - it deleted what was on the phone. Then I re-installed Microsoft office, by doing that, I didn't loose anything because the user files was still present including mail setting etc. - resynced the iPhone - and now it works...
Just can't figure out what went wrong in the first place...
thank you for your answer

Synching Calendar between iPhone and Outlook 2007

When I make a calendar entry in Outlook 2007 on my PC, it automatically synchs with my iPhone through iCloud. But when I make a calendar entry in my iPhone, it does not show up in Outlook anymore. This just started about a month ago. Under settings, in iCloud, I do have Calendar "ON." I tried turning off Calendar in iCloud and then turning it back on - when I did that, the PC calendar that was showing there is now gone, and only the iCloud calendar is showing and it is checked.
Any ideas? Thanks!

New Itunes 9.2.1.4 eliminated syncing contacts on iPhone with Outlook 2007

I get the following message when plugging in my iPhone to my Windows 7 based computer: "iPhone could not sync contacts to “john” iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" This just happened today after updating iTunes 9.2.1.4. Anybody have a solution?

This is the part of phones & computers that is so hard to deal with, it has made me loose my mind sometimes.
BEFORE YOU EVER UPDATE YOUR ITUNES ON EITHER THE MAC OR PC.
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR PHONE & OUTLOOK FIRST.
EXPORT YOUR ENTIRE OUTLOOK PROFILE INTO A .PST FILE (READ HOW TO DO THAT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW)
I go a step further and export my contacts separately, my calandar, notes separately too. just in case the .pst file gets corrupt.
Then put all of them on a backup CD or DVD
After making sure you have valid backups. Search the internet for any problems on the new update that is available and make sure it doesn't have a Bug on the computer you are using etc.....
don't just install the update, cause it just came out. I would wait a few days, to make sure there are no problems with it.
One of the worst updates Apple put out: was for the iPhone, when it was new in the market and everyone who downloaded and tried to update their phone, it erased all their contacts on the phone and computer. that would've put me in the hospital.....
I'm a tech for Mac and PC music/video studios, so I do this for a living.
I'm still using the iPhone 3gs. My clients and friends are all texting and asking when they can buy a 4.0.... I say wait until the 2nd version comes out.
which I'm right, cause they haven't worked out all the kinks.
So if you're running a business and have a real job and pay bills, don't mess around. Buy the 4.0 for your kid, so he or she can be the beta tester for apple.
as far as your Syncing issue. 2 ways to fix it.
remove the new itunes 9.2.1.4 and delete the system registry keys, restart and install the previous version of iTunes that didn't give you that message. There's really no reason to keep updating iTunes every time they do an update, unless there's something wrong or missing and read the updates that they are offering in the new version to see if there's anything significant for you to bother with it. or else wait for the next one.
the only thing that really comes to mind is that Microsoft and Apple work with each other move the market in the direction to maximizing sales.
Office just introduced version 2010 for PC users. So I'm assuming that the reason that 2007 stopped working for you, is because it's going to force you to go purchase 2010....I bet you it will sync fine after that.
I'm also a beta tester for microsoft and been using the 2010 version of Office and it's amazing.....and I downloaded the 9.2.1.4 and sync'd just fine.
So again, when all the new stuff comes out, it starts bugging you in ways to make you upgrade and purchase the newest technology.
I support that and for the past 15 years, we're all beta testing the future, hopefully the next generation will appreciate it, because these companies need the support right now, to build future products that will be seamless....
hope that helps.
just remember, don't be 1st in line when new stuff is released. Do your homework and do a search like this before touching your system: "iTunes 9.2.1.4 problems"
good luck

HT1692 sync between iPhone and Outlook 2007

first time sync went perfectly well. Now it doesn't sync anymore. It seems to be synchronising, but it does not. How come???

i use outlook for my work email, but my personal email is in gmail. besides work email, i do not use outlook at all.
i get my work email on my iPhone, but i do not sync calendars and contacts as i have to use an imap connection for work, and this does not allow for calendar or contact syncing.
i have seen a gmail/outlook sync tool, but i am afraid i do not use it so i can not offer any help with it.

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!

IPhone 4 & Outlook 2007 contact groups

I'm totally stumped - please help!!!
Hardware:
iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1 (I think that's right!)
PC: Vista with Office 20074
I sync my phone with the contacts and calendar in my outlook and both technically sync fine. The contacts were imported into Outlook 2007 from an excel file that was exported from Outlook 2003.
My conundrum is that on my iphone the contacts are also shown in groups - but I cannot for the life of me find these groups in Outlook to update them or even remove them! In Outlook none of the contacts are labelled into the categories or into groups - I'm totally stumped!!
Since having my iPhone I don't really use outlook anymore other than as a back up for my calendar and contact data so I am wondering whether to just import the data into my yahoo account and sync there but its driving me nuts that I cant work out where the group information is being tagged to the contacts.
Can anyone help me?!
Thanks in advance

I have been working on a group email app recently (MailShot), and the way the iPhone handles some of this stuff is certainly fun.
How do you sync your contacts with Outlook, do you use the Exchange wireless protocol? That also creates an "Exchange Global Address List" that can be the source of some strange effects along the lines of what you are seeing. Do you see it listed at the bottom of the Groups page of your Contacts app?
Typically it is used to allow everyone in an office to access the same shared contact list. Unfortunately the GAL persists even if you turn Contacts sync off in the Exchange account panel of the Settings app, you have to disable the Exchange account to stop seeing it.
Hope this gave you a few pointers

I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook.

I have an Ipad2, an Iphone 4 . I want to be able to sync both of these with my Windows desktop and Outlook 2007. I would like to sync to and from the Idevices and Outlook. When I attempt to sync in itunes I get a popup message asking if I want to delete, Merge or cancel. Not wanting to delete of cancel the only option left is Merge.
When selecting Merge all of the entries in outlook are added to the idevice. The next time I merge all of the same entries plus any new ones are added, resulting in older entries being repeated i.e an entry like “John’s Birthday” will appear 5 or 6 times on the same date.
How do I resolve this issue? How do I get the the sync process to add only new entries?

This is a great question. First, facetime will not work because it has to establish a Call connection first. iMessage should work, but how to get it going I am not sure. Two great Apps to try are, Viber and Skype. Viber is excellent, it works over WiFi, you can make free calls and free text messages all over the world with other users who have Viber installed. It does not even have to be open on screen to work. Viber does have to recieve one text message with activation code, to activate it, this will be your only hurdle, but maybe Verizon can help you get that one text message. Skype does have to be open on screen however, but this can function like Facetime with WiFi connection. Definitely get Viber free in App Store, and put it on all your iDevices so the old Verizon iPhone can function as a telephone when on WiFi.

HT1296 how do i make sure the changes i make on my iphone over-ride my contacts in yahoo and outlook?

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.
