HT203097 Sync windows live contacts and iphone 5s

Please help.  I am unable to synch my window live contacts (2012 version) with my new iPhone 5s 16G with iOS 8.1.2.  Only two of the 70 or so contacts come across.
Thinking something might be off on the MS side, I  exported all the contacts to CSV, removed all duplicates and issues, deleted the original contacts in the windows live contact section, and then reimported the updated CSV file.
However, after attempting this, no luck.  Again, only two contacts came across - one of which is no longer in MS Live Contacts.
I have not been able to find any thing on this point in the apple help.  The MS help was for older versions. And the only online forum I saw with this topic was forum techguy  and he said it could not be done.
Please give advise on how to proceed.

Hi Carolyn F,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the contact sync on your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you currently have set up on the Windows side, but if you are able to get your contacts into Microsoft Outlook, you may find the option outlined in the following article helpful:
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 - Apple Support
Regards,
- Brenden

  • Cant sync windows live contacts on macbook

    hi,
    i wanna sync my windows live account for saving contacts and calendars on my macbook pro i somehow managed to connect mail application with windows live , on calendars i have registered it but it is not working , in calendars i cant see windows or exchange under the calendars bar , atleast in conatcts i can see exchange under groups but there is a thunder symbol beside it
    thanks,

    It won't work on your Mac, Sync access to .live accounts is not available from Microsoft, it is available for portable devices (phones etc) and that is why you are in this situation.

  • Windows Live Calendar and Contacts sync with iPhone

    I am looking at buying an iPhone. Is it possible to set the iPhone up to sync my Windows Live calendar, contacts and email over the phone network (ie without having to use iTunes), and can the calendar and contacts be edited using the iPhone and will this sync straight back to Windows?

    If you are syncing Windows Live Calendar with your iPhone calendar app, then you have discovered something that neither Microsoft nor Apple have admitted can be done.  There are a couple of published "workarounds" none of which are simple and which mostly just do not work.
    Perhaps you could tell us what you are actually doing?

  • After attempting to sync my iphone contacts with my windows live contact i now have no contacts showing on my iphone

    i was messing about with my itunes contacts and attempted to sync all my windows live contacts  with my iphone, i dont know what setting i have changed but i now have no contacts showing on my iphone, i have tried to restore my iphone but this failed.
    Cheers for your Help!

    The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
    If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
    If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4?

    Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4? Or do I have to set up my iPhone 5 by using my iPhone 4 backup (I'd rather not)?

    Contacts are not stored in a backup, so a restore will not bring them in.  Contacts, along with all the other Apple databases (log into icloud.com with a browser and look at the various pages - this is what I call the Apple databases) are contained in their own locations on the servers.  You should be able to take a new device, go to Settings>iCloud, log in to the icloud account, then turn on the services (e.g. contacts) you want to sync.  They will then be synced to the device.  That has nothing to do with a restore and with the old iphone 4.  As for apps, their listing and locations on the screens are stored in a backup.  If you don't restore, then go to the itunes app store, look under Purchased Apps and download them again.

  • Link Windows LIve Contacts

    Hello, I just upgraded my laptop to windows 8.1
    Prior to upgrade I have an access database that linked (used as read only) my windows live contacts from outlook.
    Now that I have upgraded and reinstalled everything I can no longer link the windows live contacts folder in my access database.
    I do recall having to install a fix or add-in that allowed this but cannot locate.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Note: I can link standard contacts folder. Maybe there is a way to sync a standard contacts folder with windows live contacts.

    That's not quite what I meant. What I meant was that any authoritative forward looking information is not allowed on these forums (see the ToS). Anyone who has access to such information is restricted from releasing it. In essence, that reduces to "rumor" any forward looking information you might see here. Since these forums are not a user-to/from-RIM conduit, the information will come only from other users...who, by our very nature, simply don't have access to such forward looking information. I hope that RIM is looking into this situation (and hundreds others, btw), but we have no way to know if they are.
