ICloud - iphone,  One way Sync contacts Only

hello everyone please help me,
my synchonisation of contacts between iPhone and iCloud is one way only.
Contacts created on my iPhone do not sync with iCloud but contacts created in iCloud sync ok wth iphone.
Calendar entries sychronise ok between iPhone and iCloud
i am using iPhone5, IOS 7.04

Thank you Chris CA for your reply,
I have tryed both of these and they did not solve the problem
I am creating Dummy contacts on Gmail, iCloud and iPhone.
contacts created on iCloud and Gmail are copyed on my iphone.
contacts created on my iPhone DO NOT get copyed on iCloud and Gmail
any changes made into existing contacts of Gmail and iCloud do get synchronised correctly
so the issue is only how to synchronise contacts from iPhone to other accounts

  • How to one way sync contacts to outlook

    I have edited my contact on the iPhone, and have Windows 7 with outlook. I want to clear my outlook contacts and snyc one way from the phone to my PC. The first time I tried this it wiped my phone and I had no contacts. I did backup outlook with a PST files but lost what was done on the phone. Can you sync just one way to the PC, in advanced it looks like you can check a box and go from the PC to the phone, but not the other way. I heard something about a merge option but can't seem to find that, I am a new iPhone 4S user.

    It is possible to replace all contacts on the iPhone with the contacts in a supported address book app on your computer, but not the other way around.
    If the supported address book app on your computer is empty and your iPhone includes contacts, all contacts on your iPhone will be erased.
    Enter one contact in Outlook and this should provide a merge prompt, which you want to select. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later.

  • Two iphones, one computer - syncing contacts

    I have just posted a messgae and when I logged back in it had gone??....someone kindly sent me a link, can you repost please?? Also if I set up two dist lists for myself and my husband in outlook 2007 will itunes reconise the two groups when I sync?
    Both myself and my husband have got itunes accounts set up on the same computer, but when I sync our phones itunes transfers all my contacts (from outlook) to my husbands phone and all of my husbands contacts to my phone...so we always end up with each others contacts on our phones which is a nightmare!
    Can you tell me how I can just update our own contacts when we sync our phones? Do I need to set up something in my outlook 2007 account - two different groups or something? If so how?
    On the itunes summary page it has on option on 'sync contacts with' which says 'all contacts' or 'selected groups' but it wont let me click on selected groups.
    Thanks in advance

    Ok thanks.
    It says on the link above that Office Outlook 2007 calls them distribution lists - I have some of these already set up but itunes doesnt give me the option to select them individually, the 'selected groups' on info option is not available to select.
    So should I go ahead and set up dist lists for mine and my husbands contacts this way or not?
    Thanks

  • 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...

  • 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!

    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.

  • One way sync, iPhone/iMac/MBP

    I have an iCloud sync problem on my devices. When I make an appointment in iCal on my computer, either my iMac or my Mac Book Pro, it shows up on the computers but NOT on my iPhone.
    When I make an appointment in iCal on my iPhone it shows up on my computers????? There's only one way sync...........
    Any help?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    See this article about syncing and merging data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    The main thing is, you can only sync to one itunes library at a time. If you want to sync to more than one computer, you'll have to manually manage your media content to avoid getting it deleted when you connect to another computer.

  • One Way Sync - OCS to PDA only

    Was wondering how I can accomplish one way sync to "PDA only" so that users cannot overwrite calendar on server.

    (1) Setting the replace all existing will wipe out my entire calendar of the phone and replace it with what is in Outlook.
    Correct.
    (2) By selecting "syncing" calendar events, will sync the events between Outlook and the iPhone.
    Correct.
    What happens about the events I have placed onto the phone (after that initial sync)? Won't they get synced to Outlook?
    Yes, which is the definition of syncing.
    I want the sync to always be one-way...only from Outlook to the iPhone.
    Not possible. If this is what you want, then don't sync calendar events or only enter calendar events with Outlook.
    Contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks (if selected to be synced with the supported applications on your computer) is a bidirectional or true sync process with the supported applications on your computer. There is no setting to transfer calendar events from the iPhone to the supported application on your computer only or vice-versa or to not be synchronized.

  • HT2486 can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro?  I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.

    can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro?  I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.

    I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
    When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
    Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
    Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?

  • An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro, and I figured it would be pretty simple to move my iPhone to sync with iTunes on the Mac from iTunes on my pc, afterall it is the same program and both are designed for the iPhone.
    I have been successful in getting the Contacts and Calendar to sync, but the Music, Applications, Video and a few other things give me this message when I check the sync box:
    "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase the iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    Obviously, I don't want to erase everything. Actually, I don't care about Music, Videos, Podcasts or Ringtones as I don't have any, but I do care about Photos and Applications. Actually Photos I can reload too, but I don't want to loose the apps I have purchased with the iTunes App Store.
    I even tried going back to the PC and unchecking the Sync boxes on it, hoping this might disassociate it from the phone, but now even on that PC I get the same message.
    How do I disconnect phone from the old iTunes and be able to sync it to the new iTunes? This should be simple right?

    I made an appointment with a Mac Genius and I will say that while it was better than getting to talk to India on a poor quality phone call it was just about as helpful. Sure she was cute and friendly, but I left without my issue resolved and was surprised that I didn't even get a followup from anyone asking about my experience (hence my venting here)
    Anyway, I found a solution for my issue here: http://tinyfish.net/2008/07/18/how-to-sync-iphone-with-multiple-computers/
    This is a real solution to the issue, and has the benefit that I can do this to as many machines as I need and sync at any of them instead of just one. Hopefully, Apple doesn't delete my response since it truly is the answer to the problem and others might be looking for the same solution.

  • One-Way Sync iPhone with iTunes?

    I Posted this question a while back:
    Hello...
    On several occasions I have managed to delete content on my iPhone using sync in iTunes, and I somehow find iTunes not very intuitive and logical on the matter of syncing.
    My basic question is of there is a way to force a one-way sync, or "Just transfer crap to my phone but don't even dare touch the content on there or I will un-install you!"...
    I have a total of 3 computers which I use my iPhone with.
    - Work: at my work I generally use to sync my calendars ect. so I always have my work calendar on me,
    - Home Workstation: this I use to manage the music on my iPhone primarily.
    - Home Laptop: this I use for verious stuff.
    What computer should be allowed to do what? (R-Read, W-Write, D-Delete)
    - Music: Work - RW , Home WS - RWD, Home Laptop - RW
    - Calendar: Work - RWD , Home WS - RW, Home Laptop - RW
    - Apps: Work - RW , Home WS - RWD, Home Laptop - RW
    And so on, so as you can se, I would like to ONLY let my workstation at work delete stuff in my calendar, it may add stuff or read stuff of any kind, but NEVER delete it.
    And so forth...
    Is there anyway of adding such restrictions?...
    And i got this answer:
    Welcome to the discussions,
    See this article about syncing and merging data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    The main thing is, you can only sync to one itunes library at a time. If you want to sync to more than one computer, you'll have to manually manage your media content to avoid getting it deleted when you connect to another computer.
    See also http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535, "Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone"
    Thats all very well, but... no...
    Going to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    And attempting to follow the instructions there, well fails because what happens in step 5 when clicking apply, is the dialog that ask if i wan't to erase and re-sync. That means i can't even Enable Manually management of videos and music without erasing the content on my phone?...

    See if this cnet video gives you any help. The best you can do is trick itunes into thinking it is syncing to the same library database file on all PCs.
    http://cnettv.cnet.com/sync-your-ipod-two-computers/9742-1_53-50004835.html
    You will have to pay careful attention to how itunes preferences are set on each PC.
    The thing was designed to sync with one PC, really. This apple article pretty much states it will get corrupted if you try to use multiple PCs repeatedly:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
    and advises using a 3rd-party solution to do it. The cnet video I linked also has mentions of 3rd-party programs htat will do what you want.

  • ICal One-Way Sync? (iPhone to Mac)

    So, the other day my mother accidentally erased all of her events in iCal on her Mac. She still had them all on her iPhone, so she tried to sync it with her Mac to undo the deletions. But it did the opposite; all of her events were lost on her phone. Luckily, I was able to restore her back-up onto her iPhone. So I need to know if there is a way to sync the events (one-way) from the phone onto the Mac.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Allan.
    I am not sure if I will follow your advice, however. While you're probably right and it should be a true sync, what I was trying to say was that in my case (and apparently Berit's as well) it simply isn't.
    Which means that apart from the fact that we will probably have to clean out our adress books and calendars again after a reset and sync. I've done that three times already and believe me, it's a major pain. Plus, there is also a chance it won't work afterwards.
    I was actually hoping for there to be some workaround solution like a one-way sync. And I'm not happy with Apple's tendency to prevent such workarounds wherever they can. I understand they want to profit from their awesome products but wherever anything doesn't work they're starting to lose their user friendliness along the way. Which still, to me, is their selling point number one, notwithstanding the really great design.
    Honestly, I'm not sure what to do right now.
    But thanks again for your time. I'll keep posting what happens.
    Best,
    Martin

  • One way sync from Outlook Express gets Unable to read application data error

    I have a BB Flip, 8220, and am trying to use Outlook Express as my Contacts organizer.  I have started Outlook express "vanilla" and only have one records in Outlook Express.  I have 34 records in my BB Contacts.  When I run synchronize (and again, I am trying to do this one way, from Express to BB) I get the error "Unable to read application data", "Processing Device Address Book", "Record 34 of 34 Records".
    I have read many of the threads.  I have checked the RIM.log file and it says one way sync.  Any clues on how to fix this?  I am on Desktop 4.6, do I need to upgrade to 4.7?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I fixed the problem.  What I did was run a Backup using the desktop mgr software, I then ran a restore, but I used the Advanced option so that I could open the ipd backup file and then select just the contacts database and push that from my computer to the device (using the right arrow copy button in the middle of the Advanced window thingy).  I then reran the Sync and it WORKED!
    Doing the backup and restore must have fixed the corrupted record on my phone.  Wonderful.  I was nervous, but it worked jst fine.

  • 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.

  • One-Way Sync?

    Is it possible to just sync one way? Here's my situation: My phone, for whatever reason, doesn't read annual events and it doesn't like certain contacts, so when I use iSync it wants to delete those items on my iCal and alter things on my Address Book on my iMac. I have my iSync preferences set to let me know before it makes any changes on the computer. It shows me all the changes it wants to make, but doesn't allow me to deny them individually. Is there a way to do that or is there a way to perform a one-way sync just to my phone? Thanks!

    iSync always works in both directions, except on the first sync. So, in theory, you could choose *Reset Device...* from the Devices menu everytime you want to sync it. This will force iSync to re-send all data afresh from the Mac. However, that is not syncing, as new data on the phone will not transfer back, until the next sync.
    Which phone do you have? If you mentioned this, maybe someone could help solve the syncing issues you're having with it.
