Ok, so first try these steps on your iOS device:
     Go to settings, scroll down and tap on "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". Then, once you are there, click on "Add Account". Since you are using hotmail, tap other.  You will then tap "Add Mail Account". Fill in the required fields and tap next. Make sure contacts is selected; if you want your hotmail e-mail address to sync to your inbox, then make sure e-mail is selected too. Once you tap add, all of your hotmail contacts in the contacts app should have their own home. If this doesn't work, then I might have a link to help you.

    How do I sync my iPhone contacts on iPad Air.
    iCloud is already enabled and configured on both devices but can not get my contacts in the iPad.  Additionally, the groups button isn't in contacts app and when I save a new contact on the iPad simply disappears and again is no contact in the contact list.

    Using iCloud is the easiest way: http://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/setup/

  • What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?

    What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?  I don't know very much about Microsoft (almost nothing).  Does she need to plug into one of the USB ports on her Microsoft computer (about 5 years old)?  I also have an iMac (that I use for syncing but she needs her contacts from Outlook.  She doesn't really want all of them...there are 1,000's of teachers that work in her district and she does no tent to add 1,000's of contacts.

    If she only has a few she can e-mail those contacts to herself, open that mail on her iPad and save them from there.

  • Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

    I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files. 
    When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
    The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
    Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. 

    iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
    Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.

  • HT1296 I want to sync my Outlook contacts on my pc with my iPad3. How do I do that?

    I want to sync my Outlook contacts on my pc with my iPad3. How do I do that?

    Have you synced your iPad with iTunes - have you transferred anything from your computer to your iPad such as music, movies, tv shows, and photos?
    If so, how did you do that?
    The Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes is where the Movies, TV Shows, Photos, and the other tabs for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes are located.

  • Sync Multiple Outlook contact and calendar folders

    We have multiple Outlook contact and calendar folders in Outlook (Work and Personal). Is it possible to sync multiple folders to the iPhone?

    The problem is excactly what I just found out while trying to sync my new N97, which I also bought for the reason, it was said to be able to sync my outlook contacts (etc.). But sorry, just syncing one folder nearly equals to it cannot sync at all. I am really upset, to see the lack of this function to such a sophisticated mobile and software. (The mobile cannot do nothing about it, it is a problem of PC Suite. But the mobile worth only so much, as it is supported by the software!)
    To add to blutarskys request, it is not only used in business, that people have folders in Outlook contacts. Hello, it is the most convenient way, to organize groups of contacts, like family, friends, colleagues, support, etc. pp. Myriads of people use that function as it is one of the most basic functions.
    So please Nokia, launch this feature up asap. It is deeply requested.
    Without, N97 is of no use for me. I still cannot believe, it is not possible. I still just hope someone will state, that we just overlooked it.
    Kind regards.

  • In attempting to sync my Outlook Contacts to my iphone 5, Outlook shows in the drop down, but it does not allow click-on, then below is listed only my email information, nothing else, no calendars, contacts.  When I click on the email, it adds new acct

    In attempting to sync my Outlook Contacts to my new iphone 5,in iTunes,  Outlook shows in the drop-down box, but it does not allow click-on.  Individual items are not listed to click on. The only listing is my email address and when you sync it, it really does not sync, it adds another email account with the same name, and no contacts sync with it.

    also - when I use camera wizard it just tells me the phone is busy or in use  and I should retry.
    If I use it through windoes explorer - it shows me the camera to computer symbols and a line moving between then but bombs out saying camera is busy.

  • IPhone no longer syncs with Outlook Contacts/Calendar

    For months I was syncing with my computer at home for music and videos, then I bring my iPhone to work and sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar.
    Now, when I plug in my iPhone on my work computer, everything operates as it used to, it still says it's syncing contacts, then syncing the calendar, but after it's done, when I look at the calendar or contacts in my iPhone, nothing has changed. It's simply not syncing with Outlook anymore, even though the status bar at the top of iTunes says it is syncing.

    It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
    In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
    To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
    I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!

  • In iTunes I can't sync my outlook contacts as Outlook is not coming up as an option to sync to?

    I got Windows 7 (64 bit) and Microsoft Outlook 2010. I've downloaded the newest iTunes a few times and yet when I try and sync my Outlook Contact to my iPhone 4 the option to use Outlook is not availabe - only Google Contacts, Windows Contacts and Yahoo Contacts are the options.
    Any idea what i can do?

    Hello bbudesa,
    I know that can be frustrating with not getting your contacts to your iPhone. Continue what you have started with the article below to get those contacts over.

  • I am not able to sync my outlook contacts with my iphone (both ways) noting that the calendar and notes are suncing perfectly (both ways)?

    I am not able to sync my outlook contacts with my iphone (both ways) noting that the calendar and notes are suncing perfectly (both ways)?

    You cannot sync Outlook 2011 directly with an iPhone, but if you go to the Tools menu and choose Sync Services, you can have Outlook sync with iCal and Address Book, which will then sync with the iPhone. And if your business is using Microsoft Exchange, you can set the iPhone up to communicate and sync directly with the Exchange server.

  • HT1349 why is iphone 4s cannot 2 way sync with outlook contacts??

    why cannot iphone 4s 2way sync with outlook contacts? it says we have to use google calendar, i could not manage it but why we should pay so much money and have to sync pc and iphone contacts manualy..

    The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be. There is no setting to enable or disable this.

  • Can you sync calendar and contacts over the air to...

    I'm considering getting an E71 or E63, but apart from email I really want to be able to sync calendar (and contacts)over the air, not just from to/from Outlook on my PC - is this possible ? It's not really explained clearly in any of the specs and doco I've been reading.
    Also, if I receive a calendar invitation as email, will it appear on the Nokia and can I accept it, and is it written to the calendar locally and at the POP server, or is this kind of behaviour only supported by Windows Mobile devices?

    POP (post-office protocol) is only for email retrieval (and SMTP, simple message transfer protocol, for sending).
    If you want to sync calendar/contacts, then it is done over SyncML (synchronization markup language).
    Also "proprietary" synchronization protocols, like Microsoft's ActiveSync allows message/contacts/calendar/tasks synchronization.
    Nokia supports ActiveSync over-the-air through the Mail for Exchange software.
