Contacts syncing in only one direction

If I add a contact into outlook it will instantly (almost) sync with my phone.  The problem is that if I add a contact into my phone, it will never syn with outlook.  My calendar will sync in both directions and I have iControl panel downloaded and "Mail, Contacts...." has been selected.
What am I doing wrong?

You don't say what version of Outlook you are using, but see if this article helps: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/synchronize-outlook-and-apple-iph one-or-ipod-touch-contacts-HA010266802.aspx

  • ICloud calendar syncing working only one direction. help

    I'm using iCloud to sync with my calendar.  However, I can only see the events that I post using my laptop.  I can't see the appointments I create directly from my iPhone.  Can anyone help me figure this out?

  • Calenday Syncs in only one direction

    Every time I add a calendar event on my iPhone, the next time it syncs, that event disappears and the calendar entries revert back to what is on my desktop. I have MobileMe activated, and I sync regularly with the USB cable. What am I doing wrong?

    If you are syncing calendar events over the air with your MM account on your iPhone, then you aren't syncing calendar events via the iTunes sync process.
    You can do one or the other, not both.
    Are you syncing calendar events over the air or via the iTunes sync process?

  • Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail acct? I don't want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts on my gmail as I'll only use it as a back-up 4 my IPhone contacts.

I have 0 contacts & 0 calendar events on my gmail account. I opened the Gmail account specifically to for the Google Sync and wil only be using this account as a back-up for my IPhone contacts. Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

  • An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I figured it would be pretty simple to move my iPhone to sync with iTunes on the Mac from iTunes on my pc, afterall it is the same program and both are designed for the iPhone.
    I have been successful in getting the Contacts and Calendar to sync, but the Music, Applications, Video and a few other things give me this message when I check the sync box:
    "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase the iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    Obviously, I don't want to erase everything. Actually, I don't care about Music, Videos, Podcasts or Ringtones as I don't have any, but I do care about Photos and Applications. Actually Photos I can reload too, but I don't want to loose the apps I have purchased with the iTunes App Store.
    I even tried going back to the PC and unchecking the Sync boxes on it, hoping this might disassociate it from the phone, but now even on that PC I get the same message.
    How do I disconnect phone from the old iTunes and be able to sync it to the new iTunes? This should be simple right?

    I made an appointment with a Mac Genius and I will say that while it was better than getting to talk to India on a poor quality phone call it was just about as helpful. Sure she was cute and friendly, but I left without my issue resolved and was surprised that I didn't even get a followup from anyone asking about my experience (hence my venting here)
    Anyway, I found a solution for my issue here: http://tinyfish.net/2008/07/18/how-to-sync-iphone-with-multiple-computers/
    This is a real solution to the issue, and has the benefit that I can do this to as many machines as I need and sync at any of them instead of just one. Hopefully, Apple doesn't delete my response since it truly is the answer to the problem and others might be looking for the same solution.

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

    can anyone tell me how to restore my itunes library and playlists? After I downloaded mountain lion my library is missing and my devices can be synced to only one library ...the missing one

    That .itl file actually is the library -- at least the critical part of it although the library is actually many files and folders.
    Try starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.  When it asks, guide it to the .itl file.
    It's really hard to say without being able to poke around your computer.  Upgrading should not delete the old library, but still it happens to the very, very few which is why we make backups before updating.  If the old library file is gone then so are your playlists.  You can always see if the following is of any use:

  • HELP! - An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time....

    I had to reinstall Windows 7. After that I reinstalled iTunes. I went to sync my iPad and it says "An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do". I really don't want to lose ANYTHING on my iPad. Please tell me how to sync the data on the iPad to iTunes so I don't lose anything.
    Thank you!

    One of the three choices is "cancel" - just click that.

  • HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year.  Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one.  How can I correct this?

    Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted.  I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad.  How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

  • Can Outlook Sync in Just One Direction from iCal?

    I love my calendaring system as it stands now: iCal in Lion, and Calendar on my iPhone and iPad - all connectd via iCloud and working seamlessly. However, my coworkers who all use Outlook for PC or Mac (connected to Exchange server) want to at least be able to see my calendar. Everytime I've tried to make Outlook play nice with Outlook on my Mac it totally screws stuff up with duplicate appointments, missing events, etc. Is there any way to sync iCal data to Outlook in just one direction? In other words, I don't want Outlook to do anything in terms of sending or modifying data to my iCal. I hope this makes at least a little sense.

    I have the EXACT same situation (except I just want to look at someone else's outlook calendar) and I am hoping someone has an answer . . . anyone?

  • Contact print , prints only one picture ??

    I am using Iphoto 08 , 7.1.3
    The contact sheet print , prints only one picture per page, although I chosed 4 rows .
    Help

    Ali:
    Can you describe, step by step, how you're setting up iPhoto to print in the contact sheet mode?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
