Iphon 2.1 - can u sync "contacts in personal folders" when using exch2003?

I don't have an IPhone nor do I want an Iphone, so I have little to no experience with the phones, but I have an owner that has one and once he upgraded to 2.0/2.1 he was no longer able to sync his outlook 2003 "contacts in personal folders" folder to his iphone via itunes /sync sw using usb cable. He had an issue where there was a LinkedIn 'collected contacts' folder and it originally was synced with the phone after the update. We have since gotten rid of the linked in toolbar successfully and after resetting sync history and attempting another sync that folder was no longer showing in the sync software/on the phone. Now it just shows the 'contacts' folder and we can not get it to sync with the 'contacts in personal folder", which is in the complaint unicode formatted type pst. Should he be able to by design to sync to the 'contacts in personal folder' with this version even though his outlook is defaulted to his exchange account? He has nothing in his exchange 'contacts' folder that he wants nor needs to sync to his iphone and NO we are not setup to sync/use the iphone with our exchange server or have plans to do so.
Any links to specific documentation on the subjects and/or specific facts on the true behavior of the phone and software version with the aforementioned outlook account setups would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem. I am syncing the email and calender with an MS Exchange account. In iTunes, I set the Contact to sync with Outlook. After upgrading the iPhone software, the next sync wiped out all my contacts on the iPhone. It used to be able to sync the contacts in the Outlook 2007 Personal Folder. Now, it just won't do it. It just keeps the contacts from the Exchange Contact list.
THis is a huge problem. Anyone with any solutions? Apple?

  • HT201320 Can I sync my outlook personal folders with my iPhone 5?

    I'd like to be able to put email into the personal folders I use in Outlook on my computer.  How can I get those folders to show up on my iPhone 5?

    Yes it will sync and if you have mobileme, over the air. But you can't write a note in Mail on the iPhone and sync over the air. Instead you get to write a new email instead. Go figure.

  • Why can't I see my hotmail folders when using Mail on my Mac, but I can see them when I use Mail on my iPhone, weird?

    I've set up Mail on my new Mac, but the folders I have set up in my Hotmail are not visible. Funny, coz I can see the folders when using Mail on my Iphone. Have I set the connection between Hotmail and my Mac incorrectly? It was very automated so I don't know what I did incorrectly. Can anyone out there give me a tip?
    Cheers, Paul

  • Can't see my files or folders when using accounts..

    I have 2 MyBook USB drives that I used to have connected to my Mac Mini that I today decided to move out in the closet and connect them to my Airport Extreme. Everything works fine as long as I set "Secure Shared Disks: With base station password", but when I select "With accounts" I can't seem to see any of my files or folders when I connect to the drives. I only get an empty drive. I can even add files or folders to it, and when I revert the changes I see my old files again, but not the new ones (unless I go back again).
    Anybody have a clue as to what might be wrong here?

    Here is how I fixed it on my end:
    First, unplugged the USB disk from AEBS and plugged in directly to my MacBookPro. Then, Get Info on the drive and selected "Shared Drive". Then, plugged it back into the AEBS and connected as a Guest.
    So far, works just fine. I can see all of my files on the external USB drive that is connect to the AEBS.
    Specs on my set up:
    Leopard 10.5.1
    MacBook Pro
    AEBS Firmware 7.2.1
    configured as a shared drive with Guest access (read & write)
    I have spent the past 5 hours working on this issue, including a call to Apple Tech Support.

  • On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

    When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me.  When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them. 
    Is this a known issue?  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Does anyone know what causes this issue?  I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones.  I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
    It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly.  Major fail, Apple.  For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
    I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue:  http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/
    MICROPHONE
    I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

    Please Apple.  Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update.  I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver.  Not sure why you would even want to do that.
    It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls.  After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus.  Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc.  You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw.  Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance.  Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families.  Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).  
    Anyway, you get my point.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it.  I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

  • HT1296 I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?

    Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
    I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
    So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
    Thank you so much.
    I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
    And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
    I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
    Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

  • HT201104 Can you sync contacts/calendar on ios 7 device after upgrading to iCloud drive?

    I have an iphone 4 (ios 7, can't get 8).  I don't care about accessing documents on iCloud drive with my phone.
    I might want to do it with my ipad mini (ios8.1) though.
    If I upgrade to iCloud drive will I still be able to sync contacts/calendar on my iphone?

    I cloud drive IS not the SAME as I cloud you use for backups.  I cloud drive is for moving docs, pics, etc.  So if you upgrade to iCloud drive, yes you can still sync contacts, calendars, etc

  • Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

    Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

    Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
    Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
    In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
    In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
    Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
