Contacts deleted from Microsoft Exchange keep reappearing on ipad

I have 1 user who has setup an iPhone 5S and an iPad to sync with his Microsoft Exchange account.  Contacts and Emails were set to sync to the devices from our Exchange server and the syncing has been working well for several years.
About a month ago he attempted to delete or edit Contacts from his Exchange account in Outlook.  Initially they appeared to be updated correctly, however, we quickly noticed that the Contacts would not update on either his iPhone nor his iPad.  Instead, Outlook would revert back to the old data from his iOS devices. 
I've been looking but have not yet found a way to force the iOS devices to accept the Outlook data as default, and it appears either iCloud or something with the newer versions of iOS may be dictating how the Contacts are updated or removed. 
Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this or experienced this and found a solution?

If you have your mailbox set up as Exchange, when it disappears from the server, by nature, it "exchanges" with any devices you have set it to "exchange" with.  I don't know the method of changing your mailbox to something other than exchange, but you could try to set it up as pop or imap and see if that does what you are asking......

  • I have been having trouble updating my iPhone lately. Every time I go and try to sync it with the computer all of the apps that I have deleted from the iPhone keep reappearing on the phone. Why is this happening? Thanks heaps

  • On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts, so I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.

    On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts that were imported from a different email address, this way I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.

    Contacts imported from a different email address? Are you referring to a different address book, possibly from your computer? Exchange contacts are not stored on your computer. If you turn off Exchange contacts they will disappear from the phone. The phone will always show contacts that are stored on your phone, and keep them separate from the Exchange contacts like they are now. If you delete the ones on the phone and then turn off or lose access to the Exchange account, you will no longer have any contacts.

  • IPad Contacts sync with Microsoft Exchange problem

    I have a iPad & iPhone and use Microsoft Exchange to sync my Calendar, Contacts and Email with my Google account. I am having a problem with my Contacts. Some how when I have my iPad sync my contacts it keeps adding contacts that I have changed or have deleted. I can have over 30 extra contacts with some adding the same contact 7 or 8 times before I delete them in Google and switch the sync off on my iPad. How is my iPad having these ghost copy of old contacts and keep adding them to my contacts on Google. I have deleted my Microsoft Exchange account to Google off my iPad and tried it again with no luck. It keeps adding old contacts I have changed or have deleted? What can I do

    We have a user with the same issue. Each time a contact is updated, a duplicate is created. I have done some testing removing phone numbers from a contact in Outlook, but they remain in the contact information on the iPad. Any ideas?

  • Accesssing Mailboxes,Mail Information from Microsoft Exchange

    Hi,
    I want to know how we can access the mailbox information and information of a particular mail like messagebody,headers from Microsoft Exchange using JNDI. Any body who knows let me know whether it is possible and if yes how to achieve this.
    I already can able to get user information and exchange configuration.
    Waiting for a quick reply.
    Thanks.

    I want to assume you are talking about reading a Mailbox information(Attributes) from Microsoft Exchange using JNDI.
    If this is what you mean, I say it is very possible.
    The JNDI Tutorial will help you out. These are the step u will need to take.
    1. Define a collection item you will use to hold your exchange server information and provider information. The Hashtable component is mostly used.
    2. Create an intance of your Exchange Server context.
    3. You can then do a search for the mailbox recipient in the context server.
    4. you can then begin read the mailbox attribute from the Attibute object you had search for in step 3 above.
    You should please use look thru the JNDI Tutorial topic Naming and Directory.

    IMPA and POP3 has been disabled, but my requirement is I wan to read email.Then ask the administrator of the server to enable IMAP. If you have a valid business requirement to do that, there would be no reason for the administrator to refuse.

  • If i delete an app on my ipad to save up space, but have it at home on my itunes library on my imac, will it also be deleted from there when i sync my ipad back to my imac itunes library?

    If i delete an app on my ipad to save up space, but have it at home on my itunes library on my imac, will it also be deleted from there when i sync my ipad back to my imac itunes library?

    No. What's on your iMac is a backup and you can re-install (re-sync).

    How I transfer my contact names from my Iphone 4S to my Ipad Air ( only showing phone numbers but no names ) If I receive a message in my Ipad Air, just the phone number is available, I want to find out if possible to get the name of the contact also ?

  • How can I back up Contacts synced from an Exchange server into iCloud?

    Hi everybody. I would like to back up into iCloud my Contact (and Calendars too) which I have  previously synced to the device ( that is an iPad air running iOS 8.2.1) from an Exchange server. The green flags in Settings / ICloud are duly switched on but no contact will appear under Groups/all iCloud. Is this feature feasible at all or is there something missing in the procedure I follow ? I'll appreciate any clues. Piero

    Hi Brendan. Thanks for your clue but unfortunately that did not solve the problem. Prior to posting my query I had already checked out the article you're referring me to (whose URL is http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605). It may well be that I'm not being crystal clear owing to my far from perfect English but the whole point is precisely that I'm not able to import contacts  which ALREADY appear on my iPad - being the outcome of syncing my remote MS Exchange account with the device - into iCloud. The procedure described in the quoted article simply doesn't work (for that matter, no such Setting sign pops up under ICloud contacts). In fact, it appears that the only contacts which I'm able to keep under iCloud are those which I directly create from scratch within iCloud Group itself. Since I'm likely to have my MS outlook account  ( which is mirrored into a MS Exchange one for remote usage) forcibly deleted in one month time or so, I started  worrying about how to keep my contacts alive/ intact after that deletion. Hope the issue got clearer now ... Cheers, Piero.

  • Contacts deleted from iPhone 5

    I was using my iPhone 5 then went to messaging and my contacts were deleted but numbers were there. My iPad has them all. I tried backing with I cloud and have not returned. Please help to bring them back to iPhone

    You could always restore the backup again to the iPhone 5, assuming you mean that after deleting the contacts, you didn't perform another backup.
    Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content & Settings
    This will erase the phone and you will then go through the activation process again as you did when it was new, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Make sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger.

  • Problem with Contact download from Microsoft Outlook 2003 SP2

    For some strange reason that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out; my contact list ( address book ) downloads, but, even though I specified " sort by last name "; some contacts show up sorted by last name and some show up sorted by first name ! Also, some have commas in the name, even though there are no commas in the record in Outlook !
    Anybody else have this experience ??

    I went to edit-preferences-ipod-contacts tab and
    selected synchcronize from microsoft outlook and
    synchronize all contacts then I select ipod and
    update and doesn't syncronize my contacts, outlook
    was open by the way.
    Any ideas.
    same for calendar.
    it doesnot work itunes 6.0.5.20 the lattest.
    Please help.
    the only way that it works if I do it manually where
    I have to same my contacts 1 by 1 becuase I can't
    export them as .vcf files so I had to same every
    contact as a .vcf file in a private folder and then
    moved to my ipod as a hard drive use. Which takes to
    many steps for a normal user. It should be 1 step
    synchonize.
    I need ipod engineers to give a hand with this.
    Thanks in advance
    There it's only two options microsoft outlook and outlook express on the ipod contacts tab. So I chose microsoft outlook, and the answer for what I have in my computer it's Microsoft Outlook 2003.
    Thanks,
