Cannot search iCloud sync'd Contact details in Outlook instant search

Relevent topology:
iCloud (contact database) > iCloud Control Panel for Windows v1.1 > 32-bit Outlook 2010 (fully updated)
I am able to perform "Instant Search"'s on iCloud sync'd contacts in Outlook. What I am having trouble with is trying to performa "Instant Search" on the contact details, which works flawlessly on normal Outlook-generated contact folders.
As this document (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4861) explains some issues with the Outlook Calendar, I was wondering if there was a similar issue with Contacts, and if there are any work-arounds.
Thank you

I've had a very painful experience with multilingual support on Microsoft's products and this is one reason that I ditched Windows Mobile (the other being that I was terrified by its user friendliness).
To be honest, I'd be perfectly happy to ditch Microsoft Outlook as soon as a perfect substitute for Outlook Tasks appears on the Mac OS X platform (NB: I am aware of the iPhone/iPad task management solutions or the web-based ones - I am not interested in those).
From the entire Outlook suite, Apple covers Mail, Calendar, Contacts reasonably well. They are not so advanced in features as Outlook but they do the job. Tasks is the only one that doesn't exist on Mac OS X - to my knowledge, at least. If someone knows something I don't, then please fill me in on the missing bits.
I can see the benefit of the iCloud but only among Apple's devices. I think that once it hits the PC platform, issues are propping up (inevitably).
Is anyone aware of whether this issue still persists in MS Outlook 2010? I am using Outlook 2007 for now as I don't any reason for the upgrade. But if the situation with those iCloud sync folders in Outlook is better in the 2010 version, then I might think about upgrading.

The UAE and several other mostly Middle Eastern Countries ban FaceTime. Because of this all devices manufactured for sale in those countries does not have FaceTime and FaceTime cannot be installed on those devices.

I cannot sync my contact groups from Outlook 2010 (Win 7) onto my iPad. Can anyone help please ?

I cannor sync my contact groups from Outlook 2010 (Win 7) onto my iPad. Can anyone help please ?

in Itunes, once you connect the iPad, do you see the 'info' tab? Tap that and scroll down and see if outlook is chosen as the place to sync contacts from. If not, check it and sync and see if your contacts move over.

How can I copy iCloud calendar and contact back to Outlook personal folder?

Hi
If you go to the web site of iCloud and then to contacts there is a button left bottom where you can export your contacts as cvs files and reimport them in outlook

My blackberry tour does not sync my contacts anymore with outlook 2007. I do not get an error message. Help!!

Norton is probably the issue. It can really screw things up, that is one reason I never use it. See if you can temporarily disable it and then try the sync and see if that works.
On a Mac, there is a way to run a program that repairs permissions for the user, not a Windows thing.

Cannot add icloud account to Contacts so all my icloud contacts are stuck on the cloud and I can't actually get them on my desktop imac

So all my devices have my contacts on them from my icloud account. However on my desktop imac when I go to the Contact application there are none in there. When I go to the preferences for contacts and try to add the icloud account I get through the login process of user account and password but then nothing else happens, no contacts get added to the imac. Hmmm. Now what?

Yes that is all correct. Now, I think I know why it isn't working, I just don't know how to fix it. Several years ago before icloud really was up and going I used dropbox to sync my contacts between my computers. I suspect that is the problem. WHen I open Contacts in Maverick on my imac it knows there are vcards somewhere and asks if I want to add them. I click yes but then it sits there and does nothing. There is no "Library" file that I can find in Maverick to move that old address book file back to the application support file. That's what I have to figure out.

Is there a way to set an auto sync feature to icloud and windows contacts without using outlook or Windows live messenger just straight to windows contacts?

Need to sync icloud contacts to windows contacts without using outlook or windows live messenger on my pc, i have itunes and icloud fully set up on my pc and i have an ipad2. itunes setting for syncing to windows contacts is not working, nor will it sync to my gmail. I tried to get icloud to sync to my gmail, and thought that i could then sync my gmail to windows contacts, but icloud isn't syncing to gmail either. I configured it correctly, (or at least tried). I was able to copy the csv and all that, and do it manualy, but would like it to sync automatically. Please help.
using itunes new version (9/30/2012), on my windows 7 pc. My ipad2 is running ios 6.

No, you need Outlook.

Sync iPhone Contacts Group to Outlook

I have a iPhone that was sync with other mailing system. Now I want sync those contact to my companys outlook and it's sync succssfully. But I find that was miss the contact groups information and cannot edit it in the outlook. It's strange that the iTurn can display the contact group information but it's cannot be found in the outlook.
What is the problem?
Thanks!

i have a new iphone as of last week -- had all my contacts in outlook 2007 in one group and synced them. then i figured out I could create groups in folders-- which would make searching easier on the iphone. i did that and they show up in itunes and sync perfectly.
fyi -- (i couldn't get "contact groups" to work -- i had to create new folders in outlook contacts instead of groups. that may help the problems listed in this thread.)
now, i'm trying to figure out how to "delete" the initial contacts (that are all of my contacts in one group) from the iphone and leave them on outlook.
i'm working with outlook 2007 and a pc. the initial sync in essence duplicates all of my contacts and is unnecessarily taking up space on the iphone.
any ideas?

ICloud destroyed my contact groups in Outlook 2007

I have windows 8 and in my Outlook 2007 I created some (coloured) groups of contacts.
A few weeks ago I received from Apple a email, because I own an iPhone 5, that I could get my contacts
synchronized with Outlook. I had to give the version and some steps to implement it.
I also had to create a new iCloud address. I thought it might be useful.
Now weeks later after my vacation I come home and I remember that I have to send a mail to a certain group of my contacts.
I open my Outlook 2007 , emails everything ok, until I open my My Contacts / contacts:= totaly blank!!
Underneath is a box with iCloud / contact in iCloud: I can open there my contacts (I hope they are all there?) arranged alphabetically, but all my groups of contacts are gone! hours and hours of work wasted!
How can I get my contacts in my Outlook 2007 back into the groups classified as I had created them?
Microsoft and Apple do not directly support a suitable solution.
How can I reverse the steps that I did before synchronizing to iCloud ? The contacts (groups!) are not in “deleted items” !
Please help !

You can get your Contacts back as they were by signing out of iCloud and then restoring your backup (if you have made backups). If not, you can't.

Sync of Contacts in Microsoft Outlook with IPhone

Numbers stored in Contacts in Microsoft Outlook are as +21 (123) 456-7890. But when syc'd with Iphone, the number appears as +211234567890. Why doesn't it sync the way the number is stored as per Outlook. This doesn't happen in Blackberry. The number is sync'd exactly the way written in Outlook. Pls advise.

Hi, I am having the same problem with this stupid Nokia Suite 3.2.100 (almost nothing works!) and Microsoft Outlook 2010.
I get the same error 83860004 when I try to sinc between phone and computer. Nokia Suite says contacts, notes, etc get synced, but not Outlook.
Any ideas?
I used to have Outlook 2003 and the previous Nokia suite, and it worked fine.

Sync iPod contacts with iTunes & Outlook

I have a new iPod that I have added over 200 contacts on. Now I have a new PC and need to sync contacts to Outlook through iTunes.
My contacts are not saved anywhere else at this point other than my iPod.

My iTunes is configured to sync all contacts with Google Contacts, and doesn't allow me to select the option of syncing specific groups. The four contacts from my Google Contacs list were added to my iPod, but nothing from my iPod was sent to Google Contacts.

Upgraded to Mavericks yesterday. Cannot get iCloud or Mail, Contacts, etc. Pref Panes to open.

Very odd behavior by several of the Pref Panes in the System Preferences app. I cannot get the iCloud pref pane to launch. There is no spinning beach ball and the Force Quit Applications box doesn't show that System Preferences is not responding. Same goes for the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pref pane. This is really not cool at all (along with Safari not working any more).
Lucky for me, I upgraded to Mavericks on a clone of my primary hard drive, so all I've lost is the time it took to clone the primary drive and perform the Mavericks upgrade. I thought about holding off upgrading until the first major Mavericks update came out. I've not run into any major problems with any of my OS X installs or upgrades until Mavericks.
Oh, yeah, Finder is syrupy-slow under Mavericks as well. All the supposed memory use improvements in Mavericks have not resulted in a snappier system performance on my early-2011 MBP.

Problem solved: it took a long time for Mavericks to sync data to the newly upgraded drive from iCloud, apparently. I rebooted and let the laptop simmer overnight. When I got up the next morning, all the problems I mentioned were gone.
I have since done a Mavericks upgrade on another of my hard drives and let the system "settle" for a few hours after the upgrade. This seems to be the answer: if things that depend on iCloud aren't accessible right away, wait at least 30 minutes and then see how your system's behaving.
Hope this will help anyone with the same issue.

HT204150 iCloud sync dropping contacts from iMac to iPhone - help!

I have OS X Lion and am using iCloud with my iPhone. I've noticed that my iPhone is missing a number of my contacts from my address book with no apparent order or reason that I can see. There will be one or two missing under each letter, sometimes the first one, sometimes the last, sometimes right in the middle of the list. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? It's really a nuisance when out in the field and a key contact isn't on my phone! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Cannot activate iCloud services for contacts under Mavericks 10.9

Just completed my 10.9 transition today.
Small glitches, nothing major, little snitch wants an upgrade, EPSON scan no longer working but built in work around, airport 5.6 no longer working (I liked the statistical functions), ... little things.
The only major issue was that my address book data had disappeared. No panic (yet) - everything backed into the cloud.
Now the tricky part:
I can activate the iCloud service in the "system preferences", but I cannot see or seem to be able to add the same in the "contacts - preferences - accounts". It asks me to enter my AppleID nd PW but it is not added to the acounts.
At a loss here, I have "reset documents & data" via my iCloud web access, multiple re-boots with iCloud / Contacts services on/off - no change.
Any help out there to help me look what is going wrong or even a quick fix.
Thanks,
--- Carsten

Found the problem.
I was using a symbolic link to share the addressbook / contacts between multiple accounts on the same computer. Just deleted it and had Contacts re-establish the folder. This worked fine under 10.7 Lion, no longer works under 10.9.
iCloud recovered the addressbook / Contacts data - Works fine now.
