Help with syncing contacts

Hope someone can help, I'm trying to sync contacts from my iPhone to Outlook (2010). Phone settings seem OK, in itiunes I've reset history & it shows "Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from iCloud"
Yet none of the contacts update in Outlook
What am I doing wrong???

If you choose to sync with iCloud then I don't believe you can also sync to Outlook. You'll need to choose one or the other.

New to iPhone and need help with syncing contacts.

I know how to change the settings in the iTunes view so that I can set it to sync, but when I started the transfer of my iPhone contacts it tells me that 25% of my contacts will change. What does this mean? Does this mean that the contacts on my iPhone will change, or the contacts in my Address Book on my MBP will change?
I'm a bit confused by this. I don't want to lose my address book info (mostly e-mail contacts) and I don't want to contaminate my iPhone contacts with the data in my Address Book.
Thanks for any help.

One alternative would be to set up iCloud and then sync your contacts there. This would keep them on www.iCloud.com (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ to set this up). Another would be to sync them with Google by setting up a gmail account as and exchange account, which enables contact and calendar syncing. To do this see http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740.

Help with syncing contacts - 2 iphones

My husband and I both have iphones, share an itunes account and both sync with the same mac. I have no trouble keeping our songs and apps seperate for sync, but...address book does not recognize the sync settings to keep 2 folders seperate? Help!? I have set up 2 folders, one for his contacts and one for mine. I have checked the correct boxes for sync and it just ignores it!

I forgot to state the obvious, but just in case...we both are getting "ALL" contacts.

Need Help Transferring/Syncing Contacts TO PC

I feel like I have searched everywhere for a solution but haven't found one. I am ultimately trying to export my contacts on my iphone 4 to an excel format. If I can do this directly, excellent. If it's a 2-step process, fine.
I did see that I can sync my contacts from my phone to my Windows Address Book (WAB). I tried that using iTunes (Info, Sync Contacts with "Windows Contacts" and apply), but when I went to my contacts folder in windows, the only contact I saw was a contact file for the username on my computer. Every other topic I've read says that this should work, but obviously in my case it's not.
I do not have outlook or manage my phone contacts in any other application, just my phone.
Am I doing something wrong, can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance.
Here's my specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
iTunes version 10.5.1.42
iPhone 4
iOS 5.0.1 (9A405)

Itunes is on but does not have anything refering to "equipment" as for back up the phone syncs everytime its conected to my laptop

I've just came on board from Andriod and need massive help with the Contacts application any one out there willing to help the 'noob'?

I had the folks at the store port over all of my contacts from my old
ratty Andriod phone to my new shiny iPhone.
however all 200+ of my contacts sort of "shook" out,
meaning say John Smith, on my old phone,
had in my contacts the following:
John Smith
123 Main St. Anytown, Anystate USA
555-826-4879 home
555-799-4247 cell
[email protected]
johnsmith@facebook
all nice and neat on my andriod but when it ported over
all that information was just scattered all over my contacts sort of like:
john smith, smith john
john smith 123 main st. etc.
johhn smith home 555 etc.
john smith cell 555 etc.
john smith johnsmith@ etc.
etc.
so for all those 200+ contacts in my phone, I've got a zillion of them now...
so I'd like to get this all back in order before I and Siri explode.
I know nothing, and I know even less about outlook and the sort.
But I do know I am in Dire need of help with this... I figured that eveything else
involving iphones and apple in general was supposed to be cake but it seems
like this is the only thing that isn't cake at all... unless, I'm just a right idiot. (which is possible, hence spelling and grammatical issues).

I believe I've tried to sync it with google, but it didn't seem to take
muchless take my calender. it seems to favor my facebook calender
more over my google calender, but Siri seems to be helping me re-write
it...but that's not the game here, it's the contacts. I've tried to export
the cvp (??) list and import it into my iTunes account. However, It only
doubled my issue because it didn't over write my existing contacts.

Need help with syncing, PLEASE

Need to sync 2 iphones (one a 4g other a 3g) each one to a separate computer (wife's desktop with win 7, I have a laptop win vista) and I have only one itune account. I would like to be able to sync all apps to each phone, BUT I only want to sync her contact/address book to hers and only my contacts /address book to my phone.
Is it POSSIBLE?
Any suggestion and help will be appreciated...

Since all 3rd party apps are available in the iTunes library on your computer and you are sharing the same iTunes account, she can sync iTunes content only with iTunes on your computer - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps without syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer. She won't have sync contacts selected under the Info tab for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer. She can sync contacts only with a supported address book application on her computer. She won't have Sync Music, Sync Movies, Sync TV Shows, and Sync Apps under these tabs for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on her computer.

Help with syncing my iCloud calendars

I have never had a problem with syncing my calendars on iCloud with my laptop, desktop, iPhone and iPad. Recently I have had trouble with things I was putting on my iPhone were not syncing to my iPad. I read through a lot of the tips on here and have tried almost everything. I have removed the calendars and then set up my iCloud account again. I have refreshed numerous times. Nothing seems to work.
Last night I took all of the iCloud accounts off all devices. I mades sure that when I accessed iCloud via the internet that all my calendars were correct. They were.
This morning I added the iCloud acccount back to my iPhone and my iPad. All off the calendars from iCloud synced to these devices minus my personal calendar that is on iCloud. It is just one of the names that I have given my color coded calendar. Nothing is different with this calendar than with the other five color coded calendars that I have.
Does anyone have an idea why this one will not sync? Or suggestions on what I might do or try.
Thank you!
Paul

I have the same problem, I tried the solution of Dr Cox but that didn't work as he said go to system preference then mail, contacts etc. but I don't have that. Can someone help?

Need help with Gmail Contact issue

First I'm loving the phone! It's a great device and was a great decision to get. I haven't noticed any issues with the phone until today. When I purchased the phone on 3/22/13 everything synced up perfect. All my calendar entries and contacts sync from Gmail and has been fine since today. I got a log in error for my email and calendar this morning and I had an issue logging back in. So I removed the account and set it back up. Now all my contacts on my Gmail account are missing online. The contacts are still on my phone but not associated with my Gmail account. I went through most of them and some are associated with facebook, twitter and linkedin.
Not sure how but that's not my issue. I will try to figure that out later. What I want is, if there's a way to transfer them back to my Gmail account?
Again I have all the contacts and really don't want to manually enter them back into the phone.
Any help will be grateful!

From my own experience I had issues with Gmail. Later on I found out other people also had issues. These were with syncing.
What may have happened is your Gmail account setup may have received the indication that you remotely deleted the contacts.
As for myself, I found I had best results with Hotmail for syncing the contacts and etc.

Do not trust iTunes with syncing contacts

My iMac (core duo) with OSX 10.6.8 lost my contacts when I tried to disable spotlight. Also, it left me with only 17 contacts from the original 589. I would like to rebuild Address Book on the Mac with the contacts on my iPad. I fear syncing will in iTunes will end up with the OSX taking priority and wiping the contacts on the iPad copying over the iPad contacts with the 17 on the Mac. Alternative for iTunes? Or settings to look for???

Look at Federal Trade Commission website and see if their complaint process can help you at all. I too am veteran and have been with Verizon for 10 consecutive years - no real alternative where I live and travel. Former neighbor owned the local phone, cable TV and DSL ISP until he retired and sold them to another small, local company. He always said to complain to FTC and FCC about cell phone (then, only Verizon's) customer service operations - that they behave only as a retailer, not a service industry and definitely not as a responsible utility company.

Problem with syncing contacts

My Ipod has stopped syncing contacts. It was working previously, but is no longer working. I see Itunes very briefly accessing contacts, but nothing is transfered. Contacts once on the Ipod are gone now. Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem? I did reset the Ipod, rebooted the computer several times, etc. It is a windows xp system.

hi Dave!

Help with moving contacts from iPhone 4s

Hello. I want to copy my contacts from my iphone 4s and add them to another phone - possibly an Android or new iPhone. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

10.9.5 update issues -- need help with sync to LG phone

While 2 GB is the absolute minimum to install Mavericks, if you want to do anything with the Mac you need more then that. Upgrade your RAM.
Until you upgrade the RAM seriously consider shutting down the Mac nightly. You should also seriously review the items in the User Login Items to see if there are any there that you really don't need to have startup with your login to reduce the amount of RAM you are using.

Help with syncing iPhone to new computer

I have a PC and it crashed a month ago. I have an external hardrive that I saved my data too, but it hadn't been updated since I got the iPhone. If I plug my iPhone into the new PC and sync it will I lose all the date or will it all transfer from the iPhone to the PC? I have a bunch of new songs I've bought on iTunes thru the iPhone and a bunch of apps, I'm really nervous about losing all of it.
Thanks.

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only also. If there are any photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your old computer, were these photos included with your computer's backup? If so, you need to transfer these photos from your computer's backup to your new computer.
Did you transfer your iTunes folder from your old computer to your computer's backup?
If so, you need to transfer the iTunes folder to the same location on your new computer. You also need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
If you included the iTunes folder with your computer's backup, after restoring the iTunes folder from your backup to your new computer - with iTunes quit before doing so, after doing so with your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If all 3rd party apps do not transfer to your iTunes library, you can re-download a 3rd party app with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
Do you plan on syncing contacts and/or calendar events with a supported application on your new computer? The iPhone supports syncing contacts and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, and with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
