IPhone 4 & Outlook 2007 contact groups

I'm totally stumped - please help!!!
Hardware:
iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1 (I think that's right!)
PC: Vista with Office 20074
I sync my phone with the contacts and calendar in my outlook and both technically sync fine. The contacts were imported into Outlook 2007 from an excel file that was exported from Outlook 2003.
My conundrum is that on my iphone the contacts are also shown in groups - but I cannot for the life of me find these groups in Outlook to update them or even remove them! In Outlook none of the contacts are labelled into the categories or into groups - I'm totally stumped!!
Since having my iPhone I don't really use outlook anymore other than as a back up for my calendar and contact data so I am wondering whether to just import the data into my yahoo account and sync there but its driving me nuts that I cant work out where the group information is being tagged to the contacts.
Can anyone help me?!
Thanks in advance

I have been working on a group email app recently (MailShot), and the way the iPhone handles some of this stuff is certainly fun.
How do you sync your contacts with Outlook, do you use the Exchange wireless protocol? That also creates an "Exchange Global Address List" that can be the source of some strange effects along the lines of what you are seeing. Do you see it listed at the bottom of the Groups page of your Contacts app?
Typically it is used to allow everyone in an office to access the same shared contact list. Unfortunately the GAL persists even if you turn Contacts sync off in the Exchange account panel of the Settings app, you have to disable the Exchange account to stop seeing it.
Hope this gave you a few pointers

Can' sync iphone with outlook 2007 contacts

Not able to sync my iphone to outlook contacts. Have followed the suggested method regarding the trust center add-ins.

Is the iPhone syncing everything else in Outlook (calendar, notes)? Has it ever synced contacts? What happened that made you notice it wasn't syncing contacts?
You can try by resetting the sync history in iTunes first.

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

Syncing iPhone with Outlook 2007 after hard drive crash.

I recently had a hard drive crash. We were able to retrieve the .pst files for Outlook 2007 and I sync my iPhone with Outlook for contacts, calendar and such for business. The iPhone of course, was not affected. I downloaded iTunes on the new hard drive, and backed up the phone. (I sync music and apps on my husband's laptop.)
Now, in trying to sync, though, I get a lot of nebulous messages that really don't explain what the outcome will be.
Box says:
The information on the iPhone "Susan's iPhone" is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
(Choices: "Merge Info mergest th einformation on this iPhone with the information from this user account. OR "Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account. )
My best guess would be 'Merge info" but then, will I end up with double everything? I have many hundreds of contacts and years of calendars.
It seems with Apple I'm always cleaning up one mess after another. Today when installing iTunes, it corrupted my Outlook and I had to repair Outlook. So it would be a nightmare to have double of everything on my phone and on my computer.
Does anyone have a clue as to what to expect?

On a PC with Windows or with Paralels iTunes 8.2 has an option for Outlook which works with Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 (if it works - see my post on a case where it doesn't ...)

HT204150 After upgrading to Windows 8, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud" and "Contacts from iCloud". How can I merge the two into one Contacts list.

After upgrading to Windows, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud" plus "Contacts from iCloud". How can I merge the two to avoid duplication.

Hi Ingo 2711,
Thank you for your suggestion. I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly. I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls. I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

Outlook 2007 Contact Notes not showing up on BlackBerry. HELP Please!

Using BB Desktop Manager 4.5. I have about 75 contacts with notes in the notes field in Outlook 2007 Contacts. I looked at the mapping fields in the Address Book and I do not see one for the NOTES field in Outlook 2007. I have checked the transfer all items and have set the Outlook for the Conflict decider. I see that the address and phone numbers get updated, but there are no notes...
HELP!!
Rob
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
From your message, I assume you are synching via USB tether rather than OWA (BES). As such, I think the core of your issue is that the Notes field is, as you found, not mapped. To synch to your BB, it must be mapped. This article, while for an older DM version, discusses the manual mapping process:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB03938&slic...
I cannot say if those instructions, however, are accurate -- I am on BES and as such never have to sync via USB. You can also try searching that knowledgebase for some better information. Hopefully this will help or someone with better DM knowledge will chime in with better details for you.
Best!

How do I get the GAL in OWA to show up in my Outlook 2007 contacts list?

How do I get the GAL in OWA to show up in my Outlook 2007 contacts list?
Is there a directory server address I can use to set up a new address book?

FYI, the Outlook 2007 Contacts list is striclty for personal contacts and does not automatically sync with the GAL. If you want the contacts in the GAL to be listed there, you have to copy them manually, as Jorge has indicated, or export them (however
you choose) and upload to SharePoint.
If only required for a single mailbox, copying is the quickest method. If needed for multiple mailboxes (and especially if you already have SharePoint as part of the BPOS suite), then I highly recommend using a Contact Library in SharePoint Online.
If it wasn't difficult, it wouldn't be fun, but why's it got to be this much fun.

Syncing Microsoft Outlook 2007 Contacts with User Fields to iPhone

When I sync my Contacts from Microsoft Outlook 2007 to the iPhone it transfers all general info and notes, BUT not the info displayed in User Fields 1-4 within contacts in Outlook.
So, my question -Is there any way/path to achieve getting this info in User Fields from Outlook to the iPhone or are there any apps available for purchase to achieve this issue?

Thats not an option. You can only sort by First name or Last name.
You can, however, create different contact groups in Outlook and sync them to the phone. You could subdivide by business, by industry, etc. to make the browsing easier.
You can also use the search box obtained with a right swipe on the home screen. There, you can put in the business name and all related contacts will show up.

Help! Can't sync Outlook 2007 contacts & calendar with iPhone 5 or iPad Air

After upgrading software on iPhone 5 & iTunes, I can no longer sync any contacts or calendar from Outlook 2007.
I have been syncing happily for years, but just this week after downloading software updates for iPhone 5 and iTunes, I can no longer sync.
Music and Podcasts and even notes appear ok, but no contacts or calendar.
At one point, I managed to get the calendar to appear but no contacts; then on a later attempt, the calendar completely disappeared from my iPhone and Outlook - with no USB connection at the time. I had a backup, but strange!
I have tried the following with no success (most tips picked up from this forum):
Reset sync and tried again
Reset my phone to be a new phone; deleted everything - no success;
Ensured my default account on outlook was the same standard account as before
Deleted all the addons in Outlook except for iTunes (though iCloud keeps coming back!)
I have run malware software and found nothing
I have shut down and restarted many many times!
I am syncing via USB.
Please help!! I have spent hours trying to get this to work.
Thank you!

By any chance are you running any Eset security software products (like Nod32) on that PC?
If so, there's a couple of alternatives.
Either try the procedure in Samoreen's post:
Re: iTunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook
Or, see if you can get hold of the Eset beta addressing the problem. As Samoreen notes in another post:
ESET have a workaround for this issue. They gave me access to a test version of the HIPS module and this fixed the problem. So I could re-enable the ESET_OPTIONS environment variable (although I still consider that it's a questionable idea). I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5.5 and there was no problem.
So maybe you should get in touch with ESET support and request the new module ? Just send a message to Marcos in the ESET forum.

Sync iphone 4 with outlook 2007 contacts

I used to have a checkbox to select sync with outlook, but new iTunes (v 11.0.2) now simply says my contacts are synced over the cloud. However, there are contacts in my outlook 2007 app that are not in my iphone. How can enable/select/force sync with my outlook 2007 datatbase of contacts?? "Contacts" are "on" in iPhone settings.

I would love to do this as well. All I need is my calendar appts from outlook. Right now I am using google calendar sync, but I would like to move to the cloud and away from google. I find it hard to believe there isn't an option to do this.

New Itunes 9.2.1.4 eliminated syncing contacts on iPhone with Outlook 2007

I get the following message when plugging in my iPhone to my Windows 7 based computer: "iPhone could not sync contacts to “john” iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" This just happened today after updating iTunes 9.2.1.4. Anybody have a solution?

This is the part of phones & computers that is so hard to deal with, it has made me loose my mind sometimes.
BEFORE YOU EVER UPDATE YOUR ITUNES ON EITHER THE MAC OR PC.
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR PHONE & OUTLOOK FIRST.
EXPORT YOUR ENTIRE OUTLOOK PROFILE INTO A .PST FILE (READ HOW TO DO THAT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW)
I go a step further and export my contacts separately, my calandar, notes separately too. just in case the .pst file gets corrupt.
Then put all of them on a backup CD or DVD
After making sure you have valid backups. Search the internet for any problems on the new update that is available and make sure it doesn't have a Bug on the computer you are using etc.....
don't just install the update, cause it just came out. I would wait a few days, to make sure there are no problems with it.
One of the worst updates Apple put out: was for the iPhone, when it was new in the market and everyone who downloaded and tried to update their phone, it erased all their contacts on the phone and computer. that would've put me in the hospital.....
I'm a tech for Mac and PC music/video studios, so I do this for a living.
I'm still using the iPhone 3gs. My clients and friends are all texting and asking when they can buy a 4.0.... I say wait until the 2nd version comes out.
which I'm right, cause they haven't worked out all the kinks.
So if you're running a business and have a real job and pay bills, don't mess around. Buy the 4.0 for your kid, so he or she can be the beta tester for apple.
as far as your Syncing issue. 2 ways to fix it.
remove the new itunes 9.2.1.4 and delete the system registry keys, restart and install the previous version of iTunes that didn't give you that message. There's really no reason to keep updating iTunes every time they do an update, unless there's something wrong or missing and read the updates that they are offering in the new version to see if there's anything significant for you to bother with it. or else wait for the next one.
the only thing that really comes to mind is that Microsoft and Apple work with each other move the market in the direction to maximizing sales.
Office just introduced version 2010 for PC users. So I'm assuming that the reason that 2007 stopped working for you, is because it's going to force you to go purchase 2010....I bet you it will sync fine after that.
I'm also a beta tester for microsoft and been using the 2010 version of Office and it's amazing.....and I downloaded the 9.2.1.4 and sync'd just fine.
So again, when all the new stuff comes out, it starts bugging you in ways to make you upgrade and purchase the newest technology.
I support that and for the past 15 years, we're all beta testing the future, hopefully the next generation will appreciate it, because these companies need the support right now, to build future products that will be seamless....
hope that helps.
just remember, don't be 1st in line when new stuff is released. Do your homework and do a search like this before touching your system: "iTunes 9.2.1.4 problems"
good luck
max
