How to sync contacts between iCloud and Outlook without iCloud moving the contacts

Hi,
When synching Contacts between Outlook and iCloud, iCloud moves away the Outlook contacts from the default directory, to a newly created data file.
This issue already existed with MobileMe Calendar, and now seems to have been "adopted" for the Contacts as well in iCloud.
This causes me many issues, including synching the same data with other devices and other PC's.
Any work around?

Apples iCloud is not working with Outlook as it is making new folders isolated from the standard folder *.pst.
I have tested intensely and moved back to Google Sync (calendar) and iTunes (contacts, notes) as they sync properly with the standard folders in Outlook. Reminders sync still missing. Shame on Apple for delivering such a nonsens to us.

    How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
    I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
    How to do this, without iCloud?

    You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want.  Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way.  While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe. 
    Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

  • How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

    Hello,
    How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
    I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
    I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

    On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
    Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
    Hope this helps.

  • Syncing contacts between E71 and Outlook

    Hi there
    I have a brand new E71, and a thing of joy it is. One small thing about PC Suite syncing though: there are numbers in the phone that just don't make it into my Outlook contacts. I have PC Suite version 7.0.8.2 and Outlook 2003, on a Windows XP laptop (HP model). I've copied all my SIM contacts to the phone memory, and done a resync... but there are still a small handful of contacts on the phone that contain a phone number - but the phone number simply does not appear in the corresponding contact in Outlook. I've done a couple of variations on syncing chanding the direction from phone to PC, and then from PC to phone, but that also seemed to make no difference. Searched all over the forum and the Nokia site for help, but to no avail.
    It's irritating rather than mission critical but suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    And a second query: why do I get so many duplicates as a result of syncing - never used to happen with my 9300. Any way to stop it happening. I now have six or seven versions of some contacts both on the phone and in the Outlook contacts, and the only way I can see to fix it is manually, which will be a long and tedious process.
    Thank you for any help!

    E71 firmware version 4.** Latest .PC Suite Version 7.1.40.1 PC Connectivity Solution: Version 9.45.0.0 Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver: Version 7.1.23.0 Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 2 Language: English Language for non-Unicode programs: English Detected Bluetooth stacks: - Microsoft (Version: 5.1.2600, Build: 2180). 
    I connect via Bluetooth.
    The connection between the phone and PC is good. The contacts in PC suite are updated correctly.
    Problem: New contacts in the E71 is not added to the contacts folder in Outlook 2007, It used to work. I think it stopped working after the PC suite update some time ago because that was the only change I remember. I rechecked settings in PC Sync and no change. I can see when the phone connects to PC Sync on the phone and in PC Sync. The changes just stay 0. I do make sure that keypad is locked and phone not in use when synchronizing. Its a great phone, please help. 

  • Merging contacts between iphone and Outlook  rather than syncing

    I want to be able to update a contact on iphone and in Outlook and when I sync I want the contacts to merge.
    At the moment they seem to sync so if I have deleted on old phone number in Outlook but it is still on iphone it reappears after the synce and vice versa.
    I want to merge so I can edit freely on both devices and on syncing be given the choice what information to accept or reject (like my Nokia E51 used to).

  • HT1296 Syncing issues between iPhone and Outlook contacts

    I'm trying to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with my iPhone (iOS6.1.3) using iTunes (11.0.1.12).  I no longer have the option under the iTunes Info tab to "Sync contacts from" so I can't select Outlook.  At one point, it was there. It now states that the contacts are being synced with iPhone over the air from iCloud, but I have no other options or way to change this.  What can be done to fix this?  Thanks.

    Problem solved- I needed to uncheck the option under Settings/iCloud on the iPhone to sync the contacts with iCloud.  With this turned off, I get the option again to sync with Outlook under the Info tab in iTunes.

  • Synchronizing my contacts between iPhone and Outlook

    I currently synchronize my calendars between my iPhone and Outlook via the USB connection between my computer and the phone. I tried to do the calendar synchronization through the iCloud, as that looked really slick, but I didn't like some of the side effects, so I went back to synchronizing directly between my computer and my phone. It seems like to synchronize the contacts, the only option is to use iCloud, but I don't know if I can do that only for the contacts and not have my calendar involved? Any suggestions on how I do this?

  • Unable to Merge Contacts between iPhone4 and Outlook

    I am using Outlook 2007. I typically update contact information on my iPhone since it's always with me. I did this with my iPhone 3GS and did not notice any problems syncing. I cleaned up my address book, removing any duplicates, in Outlook. Not sure if it's the iPhone4 or version of itunes, but when I sync my contacts I'm not given the option to "merge" data. The sync seems to respond in one of two ways. 1) Overwriting my updated contact information on the iPhone4.
    So I lose my new contact info.
    2) Creating a new (duplicate)contact instead of updating the
    existing contact information in Outlook.
    Can someone tell me if my settings are wrong? Itunes only gives you the option of "replace information on device" or "replace information on computer".
    Please advise. You help is appreciated.

    When syncing iPhone contacts with a supported address book application on your computer the first time - if your iPhone already includes at least one contact and the same with the supported address book application on your computer, you are provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data. After the initial merge in this situation, the sync process for this data should be a bidirectional or true sync process between your iPhone contacts and the supported address book application on your computer. There won't be another merge prompt and there shouldn't need to be.
    iTunes give one option in this regard - replace contacts on your iPhone with what is available in the supported address book application on your computer. After doing this, the sync process between the two should be a bidirectional or true sync process.
    Try resetting the sync history on your computer, which is done via iTunes preferences under the Devices tab.

  • HT1386 Sync issues between iPhone and Outlook

    My contacts are not syncing over to my iPhone, even though it says they will do so automatically.  I also now have duplicates and triplets of the contacts.  Any ideas on how to correct both of these issues?

    I have experienced the same problem with Outlook 2007 and the most recent i phone purchased late last year. Have you had a succesful reply as i do not want to delete my duplicates just to have the same problem repeat itself again?

  • Syncing issues between iPhone and Outlook 2003

    After syncing my iPhone with my Outlook contacts, I realized that some of my contacts were doubling up - both in Outlook and on the iPhone. Per a friend's instructions, I had to go in and manually delete the doubles in Outlook and did the same thing on my iPhone. It's been about a week now since I last synced and suddenly I started realizing that more and more of my contacts are missing!! Is there anything i can do to retrieve them?
    Thank you!

  • How to sync Projects between Sharepoint and Project server 2010.

    Hello,
    My project is saved in SharePoint and I am trying to save and link my project from Sharepoint to Project server 2010 so that they will be saved in Sharepoint and Project Serverwill both and synced.Users can edit or update from Sharepoint

    Thanks, Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    It is a bit unclear how you have a project in Sharepoint AND a project in Project Server 2010.
    The basic process is :
    you have EPT, associated with a Sharepoint template
    You create from Project Server 2010 (project center) a project choosing an EPT
    a project plan (mpp) will be created, editable from PWA or MS Project Pro2010
    a Sharepoint site associated with the project plan will be created, based on the EPT WSS template
    In server settings, you can sync permissions between the project plan and the sharepoint site, and also check for the url and eventually update them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sync problems between iPhone and Outlook (MS Exchange)

    Hi all, I have a problem with my iPhone. I have an MS Exchange e-mail account setup on it and whenever I get an e-mail it goes on both the phone and Outlook however when I delete something from Outlook it does not do the same on the iPhone. On the other hand if I delete something on the iPhone it does reflect on Outlook without problems. So its not that there is no sync, the problem seems to be one side only....
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot

    i use outlook for my work email, but my personal email is in gmail.  besides work email, i do not use outlook at all.
    i get my work email on my iPhone, but i do not sync calendars and contacts as i have to use an imap connection for work, and this does not allow for calendar or contact syncing.
    i have seen a gmail/outlook sync tool, but i am afraid i do not use it so i can not offer any help with it.

  • Unsure how to sync ibooks between ipad and iphone

    A few months ago I downloaded an extensive collection of work documents, in pdf format. They've been saved in ibooks on my iphone. After having synced my phone to my itunes, I currently see that I have those documents in Itunes. However, not knowing how to sync between iphone and ipad, I had uploaded those documents manually to my ipad via email. Now I have some mismatching documents in ibooks. I am wondering how to rectify this. I wonder if I could erase my ipad, and restart it as a new ipad, then sync it with my itunes on my computer, in order to upload the appropriate documents into ibooks. Thoughts?? Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Ryan.
    PDF's don't sync between devices in iBooks, if you want to do that use something like Adobe reader.
