How do I stop my contacts syncing with Outlook 2011?

Hi - I have been using Outlook 2011 but I want to stop using it because it's really buggy.  I have opened sync services in Outlook and unchecked all, but how do I make my contacts sync with Address book again?  At present they will not

What is syncing between them ? If calendars, contacts, safari favourites then are you using the same iCloud account on both devices and have them enabled in Settings > iCloud on both ?
If apps, music, and/or ibooks that you buy on one device are automatically downloading on the other device then do you have automatic downloads enabled for them in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone/iPad ?

  • How can I get iCloud to sync with Outlook 2011 calendars??

    Recently got a new MBA11 and use an iPhone and rely heavily on Outlook. All I want to do is be able to sync my calendars and contacts across devices. When I used to be on Windows I could simply do this with Google Calendars and Google sync.
    Outlook 2011 isn't or doesn't support syncing with google (not sure who's fault this is).
    I thought iCloud would fix this however iCloud creates new calendars in iCal that won't sync with Outlook.
    Does anyone know a work around?
    Personally I would have thought this kind of thing would be simple, easy and a necessary function whether it be on google, apple or microsofts part!!

    Microsoft have not made Outlook for Mac compatible with iCloud since they haven't bothered to include support for the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols iCloud uses.
    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
    Apple cannot do anything to rectify this, as they don't make Microsoft Office. It is in Microsoft's hands.
    It wasn't necessary to buy Office for Mac to sync with iCloud. All Macs come with all the applications required for syncing with iCloud for free.
    Use Apple's Mail, Address Book and iCal.

  • How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
    What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
    How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
    All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

  • Calendar and Contact syncing with Outlook

    I have I tunes 8.0.1.11 and Touch software 2.1. Up until one of the last updates (not sure which they come so quickly) my Touch with sync perfectly with Outlook. Lately it has not been syncing. I had a trial Mobile Me which I removed by uninstalling the program and the control panel but it still does not work properly. If I uncheck the sync boxes in the info tab and click apply and then recheck the boxes the entire calendar and contacts will sync, but that's pretty clumsy and takes too long. What can I do to get it working back to the old way? There must be a remnant of Mobile Me somewhere in my system.

    I too have not been able to get Notes to sync with Outlook. I updated to v3.0 today, and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch to my PC, iTunes basically refused to sync Notes. It was odd: I would select the box for syncing Notes, and when I initiated a sync by clicking on Apply, the selection checkmark on Notes would uncheck during the sync. It did all the other syncs normally, to Outlook Calendar and Contacts, plus my music and apps. Plus, other aspects of functionality in v3.0 work quite well, e.g., copy and paste. In any case, I got no syncing of Notes in this new version. I created new notes in both platforms, plus activated OneNote on the PC, just in case. Nada. I also have not noticed any new "handheld synchronization" folder under Notes, either. I will try the reboot mentioned by Mac users that has been found to be necessary for the sync to work with Macs.

  • ICloud not syncing with Outlook 2011 using Lion

    My problem is bizarre and the more I seem to troubleshoot the worse it gets.  Since I only just bought my MacBook Pro, Lion was already installed.  I had an old MacBook and the transition was seemless until ICloud came along yesterday morning.  I signed up of course, as I knew I would eventually be forced to anyway and transitioned from MeMobile.  Now I have problems.  No sync between my Outlook 2011 and Address Book and ICloud.  I have been trying to find a solution and have tried the following:
    1. Deleted all the contacts in Address Book and reimported them from Outlook.  This worked fine and Address Book synced with ICloud.  However, when I made changes in Outlook, they would not sync with Address Book and thus not sync with ICloud.  The reverse was also true, i.e. changes and additions in ICloud or Address Book do not sync with Outlook.
    2. I shut down my computer and restarted.  Then I reset the sync services.  The result: All my Outlook Categories and Contacts appeared in Address Book along with all the contacts in ICloud.  When I click on all contacts, I get duplicates of course.  The interesting thing though is the contacts in "All on My Mac" tab in Address Book do not match those in ICloud and ICloud won't sync between the two.  So as a result, the problem above persists.  I still do not get any syncing between Outlook and ICloud/Address Book.  (This by the way was the case before I deleted everything from Address Book and imported everthing from Outlook......so I am exactly in the same place I was before I started troubleshooting........going in circles at this point in time).
    By the way, everything works fine for e-mails.  However similar problem with ICal which has also doubled up on all info which was in ICloud and Outlook. I had a memobile account previous so ICloud just imported all that info I assume.  Also, everthing works fine between my IPhone and ICloud.  This is clearly an Outlook/Address Book Syncing problem.
    Any suggestions???

    iCloud does not use Apple sync services and Outlook for Mac is not compatible with iCloud, but you should be able to get the mail working.

  • How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

    I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
    This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
    Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
    Thanks!

  • Icloud contacts sync with outlook contacts?

    Tell iCloud what to sync.
    Have you installed the iCloud control panel on the computer?  Without that, nothing will sync from the computer to iCloud.

  • Only half my contacts sync with Outlook 2013!!

    I have an iPhone 4 (OS 7.1) with 950 contacts on it. I am wanting to back them up. It seems I can only back up to outlook or windows contacts. I have chosen Outlook and it syncs about half of my contacts fine. I am not sure what has happened to the remaining contacts!!!! I have spent 3 hours trying to resolve this but with no luck. The only other thing to note is my Apple ID is different to my work email ...but not sure that makes a difference!!! Also, as these are work contacts our corporate guidelines say that we cannot us iCloud.
    Please someone help!! :-(

    Hello Jonno F
    Check out the article below for more information on trying to import your contacts that are on your iPhone to your computer. I know you said you are not allowed to use iCloud for syncing contacts, but it might by synced with another service. To look for that, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and look at your mail accounts and if one of them says contacts, then those will be on that syncing service.  You can also view them when you are in the Contacts App and tap Groups in the upper right hand corner. It will then display any groups as well as any other separation of Contacts through different accounts and locally stored contacts.

  • OVI Contacts sync with Outlook

    Hi,
    Is there a way to import my contacts entries from Outlook to the OVI application?  I tried several times but it only works the opposite way round.
    thanks,
    stefan

    I decided to try the latest PC Suite 7.1.18.0, same problem. Given that both Nokia suites use pretty much the same underlying PCSync utility, I suspect it was a glitch between PCSync and Outlook 2007 and the way the contacts are flagged/timestamped as you upgrade the versions of Outlook AND PCSync.
    Initially I had synced my N78 contacts with the Switch tool from my E50. On the PC side, I upgraded from an older Outlook to Outlook 2007 AND to the new nokia suites. Seems that changing both software pieces at the same time is a no-no.
    Manual merge (applies when you have few contacts - 150 in my case):
    1. Create a new contacts folder on Outlook (say DummyContacts) and sync into it (one way) all your mobile contacts.
    2. Then on Outlook 2007, copy & paste the contacts from DummyContacts into your primary Contacts folder. Make sure that "duplicate contact detection" is on before you cut & paste. Outlook will take you thru all the contacts that were updated on both sides, so that you can verify the conflicts. The notes field is appended to, so you'll have to edit any contacts with notes after the copy/paste.
    3. Erase all contacts from your mobile, sync into it (one way) the contacts from Outlook.
    After that, the 2-way sync seems to work, both with Ovi and PC suites.

  • Ovi Suite 2 and 3 contact sync with Outlook 2007 i...

    Hi all,
    New user of an e71.
    I have Windows 7 32 bit
    Outlook 2007
    I have tried both versions of Ovi Suite (2 and 3), and the contact sync is absolutely terrible.  I have no confidence that I am getting the proper info at either place.  It either munges the contact at the phone, or in Outlook.
    A simple fix for this would be to follow RIM's lead, and allow OVI to choose (before the sync), which side wins when in conflict.  (or stop the sync on each conflict,and allow us to choose the one which is correct)
    Anyhow, after fighting OVI for over two weeks, I uninstalled OVI and tried PC Suite 7 for the first time, and it synced my contacts and all other notes, tasks, and calendar items like magic.
    Love the GUI on OVI Suite, but I can't keep fighting this sync issue.

  • Nokia X2: Calendar and contacts sync with outlook....

    hey there
    i have a nokia x2 and i got myself a new outlook.com account just in order to finally have my emails, my contacts and my calendar synch using the outlook.com app.
    1 email synchronisation works fine
    2 contacts sync seem not to be possible.
     - contacts can be edited only on outlook.com, but not via app. could you confirm this? I wonder why and if an update will solve this issue. what am i supposed to do in order to synch my contacts if i add a new contact or email or whatever on my nokia x2? add it manually to the outlook.com adress buch? this is not feasable!
    - besides the birthday is not displayed on nokia x2 alltough being present on the database of nokia x2 (i can export it with the contact using the export function)
    3 calendar synch works only from outlook.com to nokia x2. if i add a new event on nokia x2, this one event doesn't get sync on outlook.com. any idea what goes wrong or what i am supposed to do to fix this?
    nokia/microsoft colleagues please help, i am using only your stuff, it cannot be that it does't work even when using ONLY microsoft programs
    thx
    ed

    Little update
    2 calendar --> there is a workaround that makes calendar synch working (using exchange account and also outlook.com app). if you turn off the local calendar and  if you edit directly the exchange calendar, it works (create, edit and delete).  synch between local und exchange calendar doesn't work, no way.
    2 contacts: no workaround
     - using outlook.com app you can't edit contacts and birthdays don't get displayed
    - using exchange server you can edit the contacts locally bur all changes doesn't get synchronised with outlook.com. birthdays are displayed.
    - new problem: contact groups don't get synchronised in any direction!!
    microsoft / nokia people kindly help..

    Hi, 
    Up until not long ago my BB Torch was syncing without a problem with my Outlook 2011 Calendars in my Mac. Now for some reason it has just stopped working!

    Can anyone help, please!
