Contact Sync problem - Syncing contacts TO Outlook 2013 stopped working, whilst syncing contact FROM Outlook 2013 to iPhone still works.

I've tried everything...
iPhone version: 5S with latest OS (v.8.1).
Outlook version 2013, on Windows 7, latest iTunes version (12.x)
I prefer NOT to use iCloud (as the representation of iCloud contacts in Outlook ignores the contacts' folder division, which is important to me).
I have an Exchange server, though the sync is directed to my local Outlook client.
All other settings looks good (again, syncing FROM Outlook TO iPhone works, but I need vice versa).
I've tried syncing with closed Outlook client. Tried resetting configuration, tried moving to iCloud and back etc.. All, just to see the problem persist. Newly created contacts on the PC get synced to the iPhone, while newly created contacts ON the iPhone, does not get synced to Outlook.
Please HELP.

I have the same problem, when I sync the contacts they pass well from outlook to my iphone, but not the way around, indeed it changes my iphone contacts information and dismisses all the inputs that I already made in the iphone.

  • HT1296 Syncing my iPhone with Outlook in iTunes only transfers the information from Outlook to my iPhone

    Syncing my iPhone with Outlook, in iTunes, only transfers the information from Outlook to my iPhone, not vise versa.  How can I configure it to transfer data from my iPhone to Outlook as well?

    I had a backup from outlook that I restored to outlook and then used Itunes to sync the Iphone
    I had to turn off the ICloud sync
    The only problem now is that it does not sync my calendar or contacts unless i plug the phone into my compluter and tell Itunes to sync them

    Go to Settings/ Store and under the category "Automatic Downloads" you can turn OFF the automatic download of purchases to your device (this needs to be done for each device). There's also a setting in iTunes just for automatic pushes to your iTunes library.
    To remove a purchase you've made directly to your device, you can either:
    a- Swipe across the song title from left to right and press Delete, or
    b- If you auto-sync your device, connect to iTunes and click on the Music tab where you define your sync settings (the Music tab is to the right of the overall Summary page of your device). At the bottom of the Music tab you'll see direct purchases that are on your device -- simply un-check those and click "Apply" or "Sync" to remove them.
    c- If you manually manage music on your device, connect to iTunes and click the small arrow to the left of your device name, and then click on the Music folder under your device. Then navigate to the item(s) you want to remove and then delete them.
    To prevent things from syncing from your library to your device, there are many ways to do that (un-checking things in your library is one way, but not the best IMO). Might want to read the manual or some online tutorials on iTunes if you want to learn more.

  • Deleting a contact list item through Powershell in sharepoint 2010 synced with outlook 2010, does not delete the item from outlook.

    hi All,
    I have a requirement for updating the contact list from CSV file and updating/ adding and  deleting the changes in the SharePoint list using PowerShell script. List is also synced with outlook.
    The problem arises, when we delete an item from the list using PS, the item (which was earlier synced with outlook) is not getting deleted from outlook.
    Strange behavior : when we perform the same deletion operation manually from the SharePoint UI, every thing works fine as required.
    Please refer the below PS
    #Adding the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
    if($flag -ne 1)
    Get-Member -InputObject $csvRow -MemberType NoteProperty | ForEach-Object {
    $property = $_.Name
    $newItem.set_Item($property, $csvRow.$property)
    $newItem.Update()
    #Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
    CreatePSLog "Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file"
    foreach($itm in $List.items)
    $del = 0
    $items | ForEach-Object {
    if($itm["SAP Ansprechpartnernr"] -eq $_."SAP Ansprechpartnernr")
    $del++;
    if(!$del)
    $List.GetItemById($itm.Id).Delete()
    $List.Update();
    $Web.Update();
    many thanks in advance, Please suggest as I am completly stuck on this :(
    Regards, Arun kumar

    Hi Kumar,
    Please remove the codeline $List.Update();, then run your code again, it works for me.
    You may need to firstly delete the synced contacts list within Outlook to remove those undeleted accounts, then re-connect the SharePoint contacts list to outlook, then run your modified Powershell code.
    Thanks

  • Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

    I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
    I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
    Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
    Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
    that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
    OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
    scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
    Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
    of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
    I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
    info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
    Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

    Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
    I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
    problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
    who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
    So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
    (the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
    Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
    that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
    (For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
    email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
    Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
    and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ... 
    why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
    the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
    These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
    me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
    to spot said critical attachment.
    Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
    basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
    Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
    me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
    Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
    Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
    The whole .doc .vs 
    docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
    Bulleting function grayed out
    Spelling errors not highlighted
    Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
    Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
    Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
    Track Changes not accurately recorded
    These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
    This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
    To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
    “Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not. 
    I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
    awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.

  • Updates whacked my Outlook Calendar - now the appointments are missing from Outlook

    - while they are supposed to share (per the Organizer) between OUTLOOK and my Pearl 9100 - only the BB has all entries - serveral erased from Outlook.. I have tried resyncing several times - no success. Happened today after downloading the latest update.  How do I "fix" this screw up on RIM's part?

    It's more weird than that. I have tried muliple times to download all calendar entries-from the BB to Outlook. But I have found i have 2 calendars - a default and a Facebook calendar. The default downloads but the facebook calendar doesn't. I have deleted the Facebook App - and have searched for a facebook calendar - no luck.
    The Facebook entries are in green. I don't understand since the Facebook calendar only applies to events ,birthdays etc - not routine entries. If I could find where they are stored I could download them - anyone have this issue?

  • (1) Calendar sync. problem using Chapura 3.1.2: (2) Can I sync more that one calendar in Outlook?

    A few items do not sync onto my Visor Prism (Palm 4.0.1 OS) calendar from my desktop computer (XP) Outlook (version 2003).  It is listed as "Unknown Error (FFFF)" in the HotSync Log.  Using Chapura 3.1.2.  Any ideas???
    Also, can these versions be set to sync more than one Outlook calendar???
    Post relates to: Visor Prism

    I am uncertain if Chapura makes products that allow for syncing to multiple Outlook calendars that are compatible with a device as old as the Visor. Best if you inquire with them directly.

  • When Syncing my ipad, it does not show the business PO Box field from outlook which is the first line of the address

    Hi, I was wondering if someone out there could help me.
    I am trying to syncronise my outlook address book with my Ipad.
    The actual sync does work but it is missing the field Business Address PO Box, and this is where the first part of the address is stored, so when I try to look up an address on my ipad part of it is missing.
    However if I send the contact by email to my ipad as a internet format vCard it will import the whole address. However as I have 400+ contacts I really don't want to have to do it manually.
    Many thanks for any advice given.

    terminology is the issue here.
    Whilst AOL have refered to these additional email accounts as identities basically forever, they are not identities, they are email accounts. So simply add it to Thunderbird as an existing email account (File menu ) New> existing mail account

  • When I switched over to the new 7.2 I inserted the password into my wife,s apple account here she started to get all my contacts, the problem was resolved but I lost the entire list of contact on my phoe, what to do now?

    How do I reload all my contact, I lost it when I upgraded to 7.2, to no fault of apple, the bag is all mine.

    Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If your friend wants to be able to manage apps on their device using their own Apple ID, they will need to delete all the apps purchased using your Apple ID and buy their own.
    Hopefully, you just updated your own Apple ID with the new email and didn't make the mistake of creating a new Apple ID. If you created a new ID, stop using it now, don't buy anything using it and go back and update the ID under which you purchased your apps.

  • 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.

  • Weird problem syncing iPhone 3G with Outlook. Stopped working?

    Hi,
    I really hope this isn't a repetitive question; I tried searching around the internet and either found no solution that worked, or problems similar but not quite the same as mine.
    Anyhow, I just got an iPhone 3G last week and I'm running a PC with Outlook to sync my phone. The first few days all the syncs went 100%, updates calendar/contacts no problem. Then, this afternoon it stopped working. No matter what updates I make to my Outlook or my iPhone, nothing will sync. I plug in the iPhone and sync through iTunes, it says "syncing" but no longer goes into "syncing contacts" then "syncing calendar" etc. I even tried importing my IE bookmarks and got nothing. It almost seems like iTunes stopped "talking" to Outlook?
    I've tried playing with the settings in the info tab of iTunes, I've played around in the trust center of Outlook, made new data files, etc and I just uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, all doing nothing.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    John

    After almost 1 week of sheer frustrations, I have been unable to connect my Iphone 3G to my exchange server at work.
    I have tried probably every method discussed here, including restoring my iphone 3G several times. My issue has been elevated all the way up to apple engineering, and still no solution.
    It appears that the issue is that I cannot connect because my company is using Exchange server 2003 with SP1.
    I can connect any Windows Smartphone or Pocket PC and it will sync in what seems seconds….very fast. I have used windows phones connected to our server for more than 4 years, never an issue.
    My company has the attitude of we “We don’t want you to connect, you are lucky to be able to use active sync on windows phones!!” So their change is not probable.
    Has anyone found a way to connect Iphone 3G to an Exchange Server 2003, SP1?

  • 8330 & Outlook Sync Problems

    Hi, I'm having a problem with a Blackberry 8300 series.  I am using Microsoft Outlook to edit all my Calendar information.  I have Desktop manager to sync my BB with Outlook and config is set to transfer all scheduled items.  I had like 1700 items transferred.  Then today when I go to sync, my device processes only 199 items while outlook processes 1700 items.  Then because it's a 2 way sync, the desktop manager wants to delete the rest of the items from Outlook, which I don't want, instead of syncing so that BOTH Outlook and the device have the same # of items.  This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have noticed that my BB is deleting items by itself and then trying to delete items from Outlook.  I understand the Blackberry may not be able to hold all the items in your calendar, but does it HAVE to delete all your past items from Outlook? Is there some sort of option/setting in Outlook that I can change to have Outlook save all items in Calendar even though BB cannot/will not hold all my past Calendar items?

    uninstall the desktop manager, and install "4.7 without Media Manager"

  • ICal Print List Hang / Font Issue / Sync Problems...

    Okay, here's a couple issues all wrapped up into one thread/post - reason is cause I suspect they may all be tied together somehow, but am not sure.
    Sync Problems...
    Regarding the Syncing problems, you can find an ongoing thread about @ http://forums.markspace.com/viewtopic.php?t=1632
    In short, some of us are having issues with events syncing to our Palm to the wrong timezone, causing them to be an hour off (usually within the new & old DST date change). Yes, all the usual fixes have been tried - pls read the thread noting "adairnet" and ymatto" postings.
    Also, in addition to this time issue, I have iCal events that I've deleted in iCal still show up on the Palm after one-way syncing!
    Print List Hang...
    Every week I print a "list" of events from a certain calendar. The past couple weeks I noticed some lines in the notes field printing on top of each other. Twas odd indeed, but I hadn't had the time to look into the reason. Then this week I was going thru my usual printing proceedure and now iCal locks up, hangs up, crashes, forcing me to force-quit the program. It's usually after I extend the dates beyond 2 or 3 days, but I've not been able to find a consistency. I've redone events thinking they were corrupt with no success.
    Font Problems...
    After the Print List issue above, I opened my Console program to see if it was reporting anything. At first it indicated that it could not find Helvetica Neue and would substitute it for Helvetica. This put me in touch with some font corruption - so I got rid of those bad fonts and activated Helvetica Neue which got rid of that message. But made me wonder if there are more font problems causing the print hanging & syncing problems. I have FontAgent Pro and do have some font issues that I'm trying to work out.
    But the Console is displaying another string of messages every time the Print List proceedure hangs up which I cannot figure out...
    2007-04-24 16:24:54.151 iCal[28975] NSATSGlyphStorage inconsistency. Cannot find run storage for character range {138 67} for CTRun 0xDBE87D0. Ignoring the run...

For apps linked on Tiger this will raise an exception. For earlier apps it will produce this one-time warning and continue with existing behavior (which is undefined).
    2007-04-24 16:24:55.176 iCal[28975] * NSThread: ignoring exception '* -[NSMutableStringProxyForMutableAttributedString replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:]: Range or index out of bounds' that raised during delayed perform of target 0xdde58d0 and selector 'renderPreview'
    So, all of this is causing me to wonder if the iCal or SyncServices database is corrupt. Is there a way to dig into the iCal db and check for corruption &/or fix it?
    Or does anybody have any further suggestions on any of these issues?
    thanx.jason.

    RedKamel,
    The SyncServices folder should be avoided like "a swarm of bees". This article discusses some of the issues that can arise when the SyncServices folder is deleted or modified:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301920
    Data loss and Data corruption can result from deleting or modifying the SyncServices folder, and that data loss or corruption can be propogated to devices, .Mac, and other applications that sync with SyncServices.
    If you have isolated an issue with the other steps in your post, I would recomend speaking with AppleCare before removing that folder.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Sync problem post forced reset

    Hi
    I have an ipod touch and an iphone and until wednesday they both connected to and synced with itunes and all was well.
    I then paid my £12.99 to update the touch software to 1.1.3, left everything alone and went to work; when I came home therehad been a power cut and the software had not updated propery - itunes suggestd a reset on the touch which I did and now I have nothing on the touch and itunes does not recognise the touch for syncing; it seesthe touch, ie it's listed in the devices list but the only right-click option I have is eject and the arrow to the left of the device is is missing. Thankfully, the iphone still works OK with itunes.
    All help gratefully received as I don't use the iphone as an ipod, just the touch
    Thanks in advance
    Ian

    Just in case it was the upgrade to 1.1.3 that was causing the problem i [re-]purachsed the upgrade - still makes no difference and I'll now need to check that I've only paid once for the upgrade...!
    Looking forward to answer
    Thanks
