HT4859 How do I transfer my outlook contacts to my iPhone?

How do I transfer my outlook contacts from my lap top to my iPhone?

Howdy Blue Island Ave,
Here is an article about doing just that named Syncing contacts and calendars to iPod with iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3191.
Dont let the name fool you, the steps are also relevant for an iPhone.
To configure iTunes to sync contacts to your iPod:
Open iTunes.
Connect your iPod and wait for it to appear in the iTunes Source pane.
In the Source pane under Devices select your iPod. This displays the iPod's Preferences.
Click Info.
Select the "Sync Contacts from..." checkbox.
From the menu, choose the program (Outlook or Windows Contacts) that contains the contacts you want to sync with your iPod.
Click Apply.
Tip: iTunes for Windows can only sync Microsoft Outlook and Windows Contacts automatically. Note: Contact Groups from Windows Contacts will not sync with iPod.
Note: iTunes for Windows can only sync contacts from one source at a time, either Outlook or Contacts. If you change the sync source, your new contacts will overwrite the previously stored contacts.
Regards,
Sterling

  • How do I transfer my outlook contacts from my old laptop to my new macbook pro?

    need to transfer all my address contacts to my macbook pro from my laptop.  the version is outlook Microsoft Outlook 2007.  Help!

    In Outlook, go to contacts.
    Then export them (as VCards).
    Copy the VCards to a USB drive or other extern drive that you can access from your MacBook Pro,
    Drag/drop the VCards on Address Book and Mac OS X does the rest.
    Kind regards

  • How do I transfer Microsoft Outlook Contact 2010 files from my PC to my MacBook Air iOS operating system?

    While attempting to eliminate duplicate entries on my MacBook Air Contacts file I somehow, instead, rolled all 962 contacts into a SINGLE contact!  I figured the easiest way to solve the issue was to send a copy of my Microsof Outlook 2010 contacts to one of my personal email addresses.  Not so luckly.  I have tried to save the files to be transferred in CSV format, Tab-separated, and Excel...all to no avail.  My Mac keeps telling me I have transferred the files in a non-readable file format.

    From Contacts help (click to expand):
    If Outlook is capabile of producing vcard files, Contacts can import those as well.

  • How do I transfer my Favorite Contacts from my iPhone 4S to my iPhone 5?

    I have transfered all of my contacts from my old iPhone to my new one (using my ActiveSync account), but my favorite contacts are now blank. Is there any way to transfer them over to my new phone, via iTunes or possibly a 3rd party app? Or do I have to go through and mark them as favorite manually?

    OK. First, sync your old phone to create a current backup. Then on your new phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Once complete...will take just a minute or so...follow the directions here:

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

  • How do I automatically sync outlook contacts to iphone contacts? My email and calendar does this but even though in settings I have the contacts ON it does not.

    How do I get my outlook contacts to automatically sync to my iphone 5? In settings I have it set up to do so BUT it does not. My email and calendar updates every 1/2 hour but I can't get my contacts to auto update. Please advise.

    Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion.  There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field.  if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it.  If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

    How can i transfer back up contact from desktop pc working on Windows 7 to iphone 5 working on ios 8.1?

    You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
    You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

    Connect your ipad to the computer. (I'm presuming the contacts are on that same machine), Under hte 'info' tab scroll down and you'll see an option to sync contacts with outlook. Check that box and sync and you should be good to go.

  • How do I transfer Sim Card Contacts

    How can I transfer my numbers/contacts from my old cell phone sim card to my iPhone?

    This may sound frustrating, but on the older phone, you have to go through ever single one of you contacts and change them to be stored to your phone. If you don't want to do that, than you should just reenter the information on the iPhone one by one.
    FYI: Bluetooth will not work if the contacts are stored onto the SIM.

  • As a new iPad user how do I transfer my email contacts list from my PCM to my ipad

    How do I transfer my email contacts list from a laptop to my iPad?

    Hi - Thanks for your response.  I have tried to find the answer in the manual, but cannot locate the exact solution.
    Do I have to sync with iTunes? Does the iPhone just learn the addresses as I use it for email?  I'm confused because the "My Contacts" list that was transferred using VZ Contact Transfer is for cell phone numbers, not email addresses. But on my MacBook Pro I have "Address Book" with email addresses - that's what I want to transfer.  I'm a beginner with the iPhone - had a little basic flip-top LG for years. What a difference!!

  • I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad.  How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

    I am switching over from a PC to a MacBook Pro and an iPad.  How do I import my Outlook contacts into MacBook and iPad?

    One option is forwarding your Outlook contacts as vCard files which can be imported by the Address Book on your Mac, followed by being synced with your iPad.
    In Outlook, select all contacts and at the menu bar select forward as vCard. Each contact will be a separate vCard file. Send the email to an email account you are accessing with the Mail app on your Mac.
    Save the attached vCard files in a folder created on your Desktop or in whichever chosen location for the folder. At the Address Book menu bar, go to File and select Import navigating to the folder that incudes the vCard files. Open the folder to select.
