How are contacts handeled during sync?

I currently sync my iPhone with my computer and it uses my outlook contacts to populate the iPhone's contact list.
If I was to add a contact to my iPhone and then plug it into my computer, would that contact be transferred into outlook, would it be removed or would I be prompted asking me what I want to do?

If you add a contact on your iPhone it will add it to Outlook when you sync
When you add a contact to Outlook it will add it to the iPhone
The same when you just modify a cintact the change will be applied both places
You will be prompted if you want the changes to apply

  • HT4898 How are we supposed to sync these items after June 30?

    If the Mobile Me services no longer sync, how are we supposed to sync these items?

    Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud to enable you to sync email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks. If you have an earlier system you can still access your email once migrated. You can of course sync between your Mac and iOS device using iTunes and a cable.

  • How are you able to sync 2 iOS decivies on my computer through iTunes without having the same apps, music, etc. on both?

    How am i able to sync my iPod 4th GEN and my iPhone 4s on my computer through iTunes without having the same apps, music, etc. on both decivies?

    You will need to setup separate user account s on the computer. That is the only true way to separate all data and info. User accounts show when the computer first starts up, then you choose yours. The screen to choose a user account may not appear if you only have one user account setup on the computer. On Mac, go to System Preferences>Accounts/Users and Groups>click plus at bottom left and follow prompts. Setup as administrator. PC...
    Create a New User Account for Windows XP

  • How are contacts from Facebook Deleted?

    I have a iPhone 4S running ios 6. As most of us do, we use facebook for a number of things. Well, my problem is that when I friend someone on facebook, a contact card is auto created by facebook and I CAN'T delete the contact from my iPhone. I get a message "Facebook cards cannot be deleted", I've got 700+ facebook contacts which I don't want on my phone. Someone please tell me how these contacts can be deleted individually.

    From the Users Guide
    Import your Facebook Friends: Go to Settings > Facebook, then turn on Contacts in the “Allow These Apps to Use Your Accounts” list. This creates a Facebook group in Contacts.

  • My pictures are getting rotated during sync

    Recently, I took some on the spot pictures with my iPhone. I used image capture to sync the pictures to my MBP, and then subsequently deleted them from my camera roll on the phone. I put them all in a folder called “iPhone photos”. I sync the phone with iTunes to get those pictures, and others, back to the phone. Now I have a nice neat place for all of the pictures I’ve taken with the phone that is both on the phone and on the Mac. The only problem is that when I view the pictures on the phone they are rotated an extra 90 degrees. Any idea on why this is? Am I going to have to open all of those pictures in Photoshop and get them rotated back to normalcy? Lol.
    One thing I noticed is that it only does this rotation 90 degrees counter clockwise, and only to the photos that I have taken while the iPhone was vertical (as in the normal orientation on the phone). Totally annoying!

    mshale,
    If the photos displayed on your computer are rotated, then yes, you will have to use an image-editing application to rotate them back to normal. This happens as a result of the image capture software used, and the way that software interprets the image being imported.
    Personally when I use iPhoto, my Camera Roll photos are not rotated erroneously.
    Hope this helps,

  • Files that "remember playback position" are not updating during sync

    I listen to long spoken word MP3 files that are not podcasts. I have the "remember playback position" option checked on these files. I will add it to my library, sync it to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle, then go play it. The shuffle will remember the playback position fine. When I plug it into the computer again, iTunes used to update the files on my computer with the new playback position from the shuffle. This is not the case anymore. The local files will stay at the spot where they were at the original sync (0:00 in most cases). The files on the shuffle will then go back to 0:00 as well. This is very annoying. Any ideas?
    P.S. I'm using the newest Shuffle that was released along with the 4th gen Nano (mine is the 2GB blue).
    I know this is supposed to work because I had a silver 1GB shuffle in 2007 that worked fine.

    ROFL I've named this thread "Shuffle Woes" in my favorites list. I seem to have fixed this strange and VERY elusive problem for now.
    I discovered a duplicate music file that had the same metadata as another music file. The only difference between the two files was the name of the physical file on the hard disk AKA the file name. The metadata (tags) were exactly the same. Now that I've deleted one of the two files everything seems to magically work again. Don't ask me!
    If the problem resurfaces again I'll be back. No more shuffle woes!

  • How are contact photos in Mac Mail and Address book used?

    I am trying to understand who will see my photo (user account picture) that I can see in my contact listing from address book. Will other mac users see this photo when I email them? Will PC users see it? I think it showed up on my blackberry in an email I sent myself. Is that possible?

    Nobody can see that picture but you. If you assign pictures to contacts, they will show up as a badge on e-mails from that contact.

  • In what versions are contacts stored in PST file?

    Currently doing migrations to the Cloud from multiple exchange servers. How are contacts and autocomplete lists stored in the different 2003/2007/2010/2013 versions?
    If I remember correctly I need to export contacts from Outlook 2003 and also the .n2k files but not in newer versions?

    If you are migrating from an Exchange server, then the Contacts are stored within the Exchange database and not in pst-files.
    Depending on the platform you are migrating to and the amount of users, I would really avoid migrating via Outlook but do it server-based as much as possible.
    The nk2-file is merely a cache of recently used addresses which is no longer used in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013.
    See:
    Import contacts from an nk2-file
    In Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, this cache is being stored within the mailbox itself but also extracted in the RoamCache folder.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.
    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • HT1727 How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process).  My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone

    How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)?  My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone.  I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)).  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello mcegirl4,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please refer to the instructions in the following article to assist in downloading those previous purchases from iTunes and the App Store:

  • During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

    During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. I'll typically add any new contacts I get directly to my iphone, simply because I don't have my mac on me at all times. However, unless I specifically add the contact to my mac address book, it will be deleted from my iphone contacts upon sync. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

    Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
    I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts.  I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
    I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could.  I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
    I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.

  • HT204150 Help! My iCloud contacts is fine. The contacts in my iPhone are a mess. Tons of dupes, folks long deleted etc...How do I only have the contacts in iCloud sync to my iphone?

    My iCloud contacts is fine. The contacts in my iPhone are a mess. Tons of dupes, folks long deleted etc...How do I only have the contacts in iCloud sync to my iphone?

    Download the free app My Contacts Backup.  Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose Delete from My iPhone.  Check the contacts on your phone.  If you have any left on your phone, launch My Contacts Backup, tap the gear shaped icon on the bottom right, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  When finished, go back to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On to sync the unduplicated contacts back to your phone from iCloud.
    Also, be sure you aren't trying to sync your contacts with both iCloud and iTunes or you will get duplicates.

  • How do I get my calendar and contacts data to sync to computer?

    After instal of Maverick, iPhone data syncs to iCloud, but not to computer.  How do I get my calendar and contacts data to sync to computer?

    Sounds like your Mac is not logged into the same iCloud account that your phone is.  When Mavericks is installed it prompts you for an AppleID during setup. 
    Unfortunately and confusingly it then uses that AppleID to help you set up the Apple Store, iCloud, and Messages even though many users do not use the same AppleID for all of those services.  This is particularly true of familys that share one AppleID for the "Store" but use separate AppleID's for each users iCloud data.
    Therefore, put your iPhone next to your Mac and go to "Settings" > "iCloud".  Make sure that the iCloud account listed on your iPhone is the same as the one listed when you go to "System Preferences" > "iCloud" on your Mac.  If they match (or not) then click "sign out" on your Mac to disconnect the account.  Then, on the Mac (still in the iCloud preference pane), log (back) into the same iCloud account being used on your iPhone and enable the same set of services that are enabled on your iPhone (particularly calendar and contacts).
    Then, open the Contacts application on the mac and iCal on the Mac and walk away for a few minutes to allow the data to sync.  You may then want to create a test calendar event and change a contact to see if they sync up.
    One additional thought is to make sure that your iPhone is set to "Push" for iCloud. That will assure that it's syncing immediately while you are testing this.
    Hope this helps.

  • After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from icloud and all the synced devices. I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync

    After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
    I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
    Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
    There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?

    An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
    If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    The relevant section is:
    How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.
