IPhonne stopped synching contacts with Outlook

I had somehow synched my outlook contacts with the iPod. After that I deleted all my contacts from Outlook. Then, to take a backup of my iPhone contacts, I added just 1 dummy entry into my Outlook contacts. I am using the latest iTunes and also have updated the SW on the iPhone. I make all the right selections in iTunes to sync iPhone contacts with outlook. When I sync contacts are not synced. Neither the Outlook contacts nor the iPhone contacts are changed.
All I want is to create a backup copy of my iPhone contacts. Is this an impossible task?
Thanks,
Bulent Dervisoglu

It is now 2008 and I assume Apple decided to support the most popular versions of Outlook and I guess if Microslop didn't have significant changes between Outlook 2002 and 2003 - with 2003 released the very next year which is unusual and speaks volumes, Outlook 2002 would also be supported but I venture to say there is a reason.
Nothing special or additional purchase is required with a Mac and rightfully so and I don't blame Apple one bit for not wasting resources to support every Outlook version or Windows version. The minimum system requirements and other requirements is published and easily available before making this purchase.
I think Apple designers need to go for a training session @ Motorola. I had no backup issues with my Motorola Razr using the Motorola Phone Tools SW.
And Motorola designers need to go for a training session or two @ Apple since the Motorola Phone Tools SW is Windows compatible only which I believe requires an additional purchase.
Which Windows version are you running since there might be another option depending on your answer.

  • Synching contacts with Outlook does not work

    I have a Mac (with the contacts application), an iPhone and an iPad as well as an iCloud account. Synching contacts between all 4 of them works perfectly. However, synching contacts with Outlook 2011 does not work anymore. It used to, then I had some trouble with the synching with the iCloud (due to the fact that I had to change the Apple ID from the one I use for iTunes to the one I use for the Cloud), and since then contacts do not replicate with Outlook anymore. I can deactivate and reactivate the synching in Outlook as much as I want, no change.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    So it sounds like you have contacts from multiple mail accounts syncing to/from your iPhone.  They will all appear there as long as their respective accounts are checked under contacts/groups(upper left of contact screen).
    As far as contacts created on the iPhone, if you select Outlook as your default account for contacts, all contacts created on the iPhone will sync with Outlook.  I'm assuming your Outlook syncs with an Exchange Server.
    You could connect the iPhone to iTunes and sync all of your contacts to say, a desktop version of Outlook.  You could then import that set of contacts into the Exchange version of Outlook.

  • Synching Contacts with Outlook 2010

    I am running Outlook 2010 on a brand new computer. I am running iTunes version 9.2.0.61 and iPhone version 4.0.1. I have had no problem synching my contacts with my phone until today. There are 3 "contact" folders in Outlook: all called "contact" but 1 is associated with my e-mail address on microsoft's MAPI server; one is associated with my wife's e-mail address on microsoft's MAPI server; and one resides on the desktop in an "outlook" folder. As of yesterday the two MAPI folders were empty and all of the contact information was stored in the outlook folder. But today I entered a new e-mail address in the "to" field of an e-mail. When I synched my iPhone it erased all of the contact information on the iPhone and replaced it with the single e-mail address I had entered. When I checked the computer I saw that the new address had been placed in my e-mail MAPI contact folder. I removed it from the MAPI folder and put it in the "outlook" folder but the iPhone will not synch with the outlook folder. I have tried synching it several times and it just produces an empty contacts file. But it had been synching successfully with the outlook folder for the previous several days until an entry was made in the MAPI folder. What do I do now to get all of my contact information back on the iPhone?

    Why isn't Apple addressing the Outlook 2010 64 bit Sync problems?
    I had a computer crash & had to replace it. I didn't have copies of some of my software including Office 2007 and just bought all the new version and now nothing is working together...
    This *****!

  • How do I STOP synching contacts with FB?

    I accidently answered yes at the initial setup - but I no longer want to synch FB with my contacts.  Does anyone know how to change that setting?
    I have the iPhone 4  (not S)
    TIA!

    It's Settings > Facebook > turn off Contacts.
    And if you do not want all the Facebook birthdays and events on your Calendar turn off Calendar in the same location.

  • Can synch contacts with Outlook, but not calendar/todo list

    My Nano syncs fine with music, photos, and with Outlook's contacts The contacts page in itunes even lists my calendars, but when I synch they don't come across, and neither do my todo lists. Any suggestions?

    Hi - I was able to sync contacts and calendar, but not to-do lists, although there is an option on the nano itself for to-do lists - when I select it it tells me to "enable syncing from Itunes under the Calendar section of the contacts tab." There doesn't seem to be any option to enable this in the calendar section - I suspect maybe this was eliminated for the 3G?
    Anyway, one problem you may have in syncing from outlook is that there is too much data in your calendar and contact files. Try archiving your files in outlook first before syncing.(File/Archive) I got the "Itunes cannot sync" error message and this solved my problem.
    Good luck.

  • HT1296 When synching Outlook Contacts and calendars with iTunes for Windows, I do not get the option to "Synch Contacts with". It says, and cannot be changed, that it is synching with iCloud.  How do I get iTunes to give me an option other than iCloud?

    Using iTunes for Windows to synch my Outlook Contacts and Calendars into my iPhone 5, with the iPhone Device designated and in the Info tab, I do not have the option to "Synch Contacts with", but have an unchangeable message that it is synching with iCloud. How do I create that option to synch with Outlook?

    Bought my hubby an iphone4 and I registered it and opened an apple account for him.  I have an iphone 5 (under my own Apple account).  I use icloud to sync calendar and contacts with outlook 2007.  How do I add my hubby's phone (account) to icloud so I can sync the same contacts and calendar?

    On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

  • How can I sync my iPhone contacts with Outlook 2010

  • HT1692 I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; twpo problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my calendar will not syncd at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do no

    I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

    It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

  • TS1363 My Iphone stopped synching with my computer

    Can anyone give me any ideas?  My Iphone stopped synching with my Itunes.  I can see the phone on my computer but Itunes does not recognize it.

    I have a similar issue with iTunes and my iPhone 5S (7.0.4). Of course this was after the most recent update to iTunes blew away iTunes and the forum here walked me through the process to get iTunes back. I used to be able to plug in my iPhone 5S to my PC and sync'ing worked flawlessly. Now it seems that either the new update to iTunes of this latest software update to the iPhone prevents the sync'ing of music ptoperly.
    Of further note is the fact that when I would make a manual change to a playlist on the iPhone directly and then sync'd it with iTunes, the changes I made on the iPhone were wiped out. I don't know which is the problem but it seems that the 2 are not compatible.
    After the issues I had (as many others had) with the latest update to iTunes, I won't update iTunes any time in the near future. I am sorry that I did and I am also sorry that I allowed the update to my iPhone happen a month ago.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />
