Importing contacts with outlook

Sorry to ask, but I am new to the iPad and I am having problems setting it up to work with iPhone or even my computer.
Wish Apple had spent a few more minutes with me after the check cleared... to set it up

When you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and select it on the left-hand side, on the Info tab that should appear on the right you should be able to select where you want to sync contacts from :
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo!Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
If you havn't already got a copy then you can download a copy of the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad . It has a chapter on Getting Started and what it calls Basics, plus each of the built-in app (plus iBooks which is a free download)

Thanks,

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

Can I import contacts to outlook for mac with iphone?

Can I import contacts to Outlook for Mac using my iphone? I turned on sync in outlook and in itunes, but still not syncing.

You need a vCard format. I believe one option is to import your csv file to Google contacts, then export them as a vCard that can be imported to iCloud.

Synching contacts with Outlook does not work

I have a Mac (with the contacts application), an iPhone and an iPad as well as an iCloud account. Synching contacts between all 4 of them works perfectly. However, synching contacts with Outlook 2011 does not work anymore. It used to, then I had some trouble with the synching with the iCloud (due to the fact that I had to change the Apple ID from the one I use for iTunes to the one I use for the Cloud), and since then contacts do not replicate with Outlook anymore. I can deactivate and reactivate the synching in Outlook as much as I want, no change.
Any ideas? Thanks!

So it sounds like you have contacts from multiple mail accounts syncing to/from your iPhone. They will all appear there as long as their respective accounts are checked under contacts/groups(upper left of contact screen).
As far as contacts created on the iPhone, if you select Outlook as your default account for contacts, all contacts created on the iPhone will sync with Outlook. I'm assuming your Outlook syncs with an Exchange Server.
You could connect the iPhone to iTunes and sync all of your contacts to say, a desktop version of Outlook. You could then import that set of contacts into the Exchange version of Outlook.

I'm trying to import contacts to outlook 2011 from a cvs file. I've followed all the steps, mapped the fields, clicked import -- it shows that it imported my 900 contacts --- but the contact field remains blank and I can't see any information. Help?

I'm trying to import contacts to outlook 2011 from a cvs file. I've followed all the steps, mapped the fields, etc. It appears to import all 900 contacts, but after finishing nothing appears in my contact list. Any ideas on why this is not working?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Bought my hubby an iphone4 and I registered it and opened an apple account for him. I have an iphone 5 (under my own Apple account). I use icloud to sync calendar and contacts with outlook 2007. How do I add my hubby's phone (account) to icloud so I can sync the same contacts and calendar?

On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

Sync'ing contacts with Outlook no longer works

Ipod Nano 4gb with latest iTunes 7.02.16. Problem was also present on previous version of iTunes.
At one time, for a while after I bought my iPod nano, I could sync my Outlook contacts. It used to popup a message in Outlook asking for permission and I would say, yes, 10 minutes or whatever.
Now iTunes just keeps saying "Cannot sync contacts with Outlook, try closing all instances of Outlook and restarting" but that suggestion does not solve the problem.
Anybody know how to fix this?
cheers,

You should probably post your question in the iTunes or iPod discussions

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.
