How to do one way synch from PC to phone ONLY for contacts and Calendar

Does anyone know how you can synch only ONE WAY - from Outlook on PC to Iphone? I want no information to change in Outlook Calendar or Contacts. I don't want the phone to make any changes to Contacts or Calendar on PC. Thanks!

You've posted this in the *Mac OS X Technologies > iSync* forum.
iSync is a Mac-only application for syncing Contacts and Calendars from the Mac Address Book and iCal to mobile phones and PDAs.
It has nothing to do with the iPhone, Outlook or Windows PCs.

Anyway to reset/reload the iCloud Contact list from a good know source (one way synch, from an iOS device to iCloud)?

Is there anyway to reset/load the iCloud Contact list form a good known source?
i.e. One way synch, from an iOS device to iCloud (The way we used to be able to do it with MobileMe)?
My current iCloud Contact list is messed up and I want to reset/reload it with a good know list from one of my iOS devices, but I can't find a way to do it, or at least it is not obviouse to me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I agree ! Need to be able to flush out and reset what's in the Cloud easily/simply, then start a new sync from a known good source.
So far, not impressed (again) with Apple's syncing prowess...

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

HT204053 How does my spouse get the benefits of using my iCloud for contacts and calanders but not messages, etc?

How does my spouse get the benefits of using my iCloud for contacts and calanders but not messages, etc?

iCloud is designed for personal use and not for managing multiple access. If you gives your password to someone else, this person can benefit everything including access to purchase with your account, email, etc.
You should rather consider having each one an iCloud account and then, create and share a calendar. As for contact, you can send them to your spouse to be save in her account but they cannot be shared nor synced.

Using iCloud with an iPad, a PC and a Samsung Omnia II phone stripped all contacts and calendar from my phone. How can I fix this?

I activatediCloud on my iPad2 and synced to my Sony Vaio PC using ( calendar & contacts in Outlook). Then when I synced my Samsung Omnia II to my PC, all my contacts and calendar were stripped from my phone. Can somebody help me:
1) recover my information to the phone and
2) learn a reasonable way of syncing email & contacts between these three devices or
3) tell me if getting an iPhone will really solve all my problems

No problem [and only since you asked].
First of all, only the original poster (OP) can make the awards and these are limited to 1 x 'This solved my question' and 2 x 'This helped mes' Once you have used the 'This solved by question' you cannot withdraw it (as in your case) and allocate it to someone else. The best you can do to 'compensate' is to issue one (or the two) 'This helped me' provided they have not been used up.
Regards.

TS2776 Any ideas why my Outlook 2010 is syncing with iCloud for e-mail but not for contacts and calendars? I am not a novice user and have done all the obvious things. The situation is odd because the original calendars all came from Outlook in the first

I use iMac, iPad and iPhone but also an HP laptop. I have used Macs since 1986 so I am not a novice. I set up my iCloud account, moving from MobileMe recently and everything works fine on my Apple devices. The bizarre thing is I can see all my e-mail accounts via iCloud in Outlook but the contacts and calendars are not syncing in Outlook even though the original calendar material came from Outlook (the contacts data is all from the iMac). I've tried all the obvious things and read most of the articles on the Apple Support website. All the relevant boxes are checked on the iCloud dashboard on each device but I just wondered if I was missing something obvious. I'm sure some of you will have had the same expereince and solved it. Can you help me?
Thanks in anticipation!

How can I sync my Nokia phone to my Contacts and Calendars without iSync?

Previous to updating to Lion, I would use iSync and a plug-in to sync my Nokia C3-00 to my Address Book Contacts and my iCal Calendar events.
Now that I updated, iSync is gone. However, I still need to sync my phone from time to time, is there anyway I can go about this?

This worked for me (I have a Sony Ericsson Elm J10i2). Thanks for the tip.

We are deloying IPhone 4s models in our organization and I am trying to setup a one way sync from Google to IPhone? Help

We are deploying IPhone model 4s in our organization and we want to have a Global addressbook. I have setup with Google using Gmail and accessing the contacts however this provides a two-way sync. I need the setup to be a one-way sync from Google to IPhone only!
HELP

I use the same id and password as I want them all in the same place. I have tried other solutions offered here like turning off contact, saving to the phone and turning them back on and merging. still no contacts go to icloud.

How do I sync contacts and calendar from iphone to PC?

How do I sync contact and calendar info from my iPhone into Outlook on my PC? The iPhone User Guide suggests that you can only sync from the PC to the phone. Is there a way to reverse the direction?

The sync process for contacts and calendar events with a supported app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process.
There is a way to replace on the iPhone with what is available in the supported application on your computer but not the other way around.
If the supported application on your computer includes contacts and calendar events and the same with your iPhone, with the first sync for this data you will be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select.
This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

My contacts and calendar content have disappeared. How do I get them back?

My contacts and calendar content has completely disappeared from my phone, but it is all still on my MacBook. Any ideas on how to get them back to my phone? I'm thinking something went wrong with my iCloud.

It's hard to say what would cause that but I doubt you are doing anything wrong. They only way you could intentionally make you contacts or calendars disappear is if you either turn off iCloud syinc for contacts and calendars in Settings>iCloud or signed out of your account.
If it continues to happen, you might want to completely sign out of your account, then sign back in. To do this, you would want to start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.

All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. How do I get it back?

All of my contacts and calendar information has disappeared. This is not the first time this has happened, and when it happened in the past I just turned on my contacts in the iCloud in "settings." This didn't work this time and I was curious if anyone can help me restore the missing info. and/or tell me why they randomly disappear every now and then.

I do not care to use iCloud and now they have removed syncing from itunes is there a way to sync to an iPad?

Contacts and Calendar have disappeared from iPhone

All my contacts and calendar entries have totally disappeared from my iPhone on 20.5.09. My free trial of MobileMe was due to end on 20.5.09, so on 17.5.09 I cancelled my subscription (didn't really use it). The only backup of my contacts/calendar was on MobileMe. Is it just a coincidence that my information has disappeared on the same day as my subscription ran out?!

When turning on over the air syncing for Contacts and Calendars with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, all contacts and calendar events on the iPhone are erased first and replaced with your MM online address book and calendar events. After the initial transfer from your MM online address book and calendar(s), contact info and calendar events are kept synchronized between the two.
Your MM online address book and calendar events are designed to be kept synchronized with the supported application or applications on your computer.
When a MM account is cancelled, the data on the MM "cloud" is no longer available.

HT1535 How do I do a one-way sync from computer to I-pad? Outlook Contacts only. It has already been synced and there is bad info on I-pad that I don't want on my computer.

How do I do a one way sync from contacts in computer (Outlook), to contacts on I pad (also for I-phone)? Contacts on I-Pad are incorrect and I do not want to add them back to my computer?
Alternatively, is there any way to delete contact groups all at once instead of one contact at a time?
Thank you in advance...

One-Way sync from Palm to iBook?

Wiped my address book with a crashed sync, but the data remains on my Palm device (Treo 650). Anyone know how to setup a one-way sync from the Treo back into the iBook? Thanks, M

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You should first try to correct the problem by dragging the AddressBook.data file out of your Address Book folder at the end of this path:
Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Address Book
Duplicate the AddressBook.data.previous file, and rename it simple AddressBook.data and launch the application to see if it can recover your files.
If not, you should understand that there is no easy, quick, painless way to achieve what you want - moving a copy of your handheld data to your Macintosh.
You can restore synchronization to the Palm Desktop, by moving the Apple conduit out of the active Conduits folder, and by moving the following disabled Palm conduits out of the Disabled Conduits folder and back into the active one:
• Address Conduit
• Calendar Conduit
• Contacts Conduit
• Datebook Conduit
• Tasks Conduit
• ToDo Conduit
(Only one of each conduit pair is used by your Treo 650, but these instructions would also apply to users of the older conduits.)
By setting each conduit to Handheld overwrites Macintosh, you will transfer the data on your smartphone to the Palm Desktop, overwriting any existing records by doing so.
You can then export contact data as a vCard file and calendaring data as a vCal file but, here's a problem: you cannot export task or to do data, so in this process, you will lose all of the to do items in iCal. Once you have exported the Palm Desktop data in vCard and vCal format, you can import the contents of each file into the Address Book and iCal, remembering that your vCal file contains only event—and not to do—data.
You can then return the Palm conduits to the Disabled Conduits folder and the iSync Palm Conduit to the active one, and synchronize once again with iSync, choosing to overwrite the contents of your handheld with the data from the Address Book and iCal. Once again, say goodbye to your to do records. You do this by removing your device from iSync and adding it back prior to the next synchronization, causing the framework to act as if you have never synchronized before. Choose Replace (and not Merge) to avoid data duplication errors.
Do you see why periodically backing up Address Book and iCal data is so important? To do so, just select the Back up Address Book in the Address Book or the Back up Database option in iCal.
