IPhone 4S contacts troubles after sync hotmail

Hi,
After synchronizing my new iPhone 4S with my hotmail account, I have had nothing but trouble with both the contact list (address book) on my iPhone and with my hotmail contacts (in my hotmail account). Contacts keep randomly disappearing (entirely or partly - only telephone number or email) from my contact list in my iPhone and hotmail has frequently been asking me (when using it on my iMac) to re-enter information on email addresses that have been in my contact list in hotmail for a long time and that have magically disappeared now. This is highly frustrating, especially as this happens whenever, and is definitely not linked to me rebooting my phone or synchronising it with my Mac (I've checked repeatedly). Does anybody know how to stop this from happening? Thank you very much in advance!

The contact entered on my Mac are not syncing to iCloud

  • IPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar

    I need some help.
    iPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar.
    Unable to restore from backup as my iPhone was backed-up before I realised my calendar info was gone.
    I found an old backup file in my old disk but was unable to move the old calendar data to the empty outlook after restore. It just keep wiping out after I sync.
    Thanks.

    I have managed to find an old back up to restore my iPhone. However even with at least one entry in my outlook, my calendar details on my iPhone was still wiped out and was not transferred to my outlook.

  • Iphone 3G makes duplicate contact entries after syncing.  I went from about 125 contacts to 1,965.  Some contacts are duplicated 30 times!  I tried deleting the info and resyncing it.  Same problem.  Not using mobile me.  Syncing with google account.

    Duplicate entries after syncing.  My phone went from about 125 contacts to 1,965.  Some contacts are duplicated 30 times!  Tried deleting the contacts and resyncing- same thing.  I don't use Mobile me.  My contacts are synced through my google account.   I tried syncing through outlook and there were 0 contacts on my phone.  Its a 3G so some of the functions like making groups are not available.  Please HELP!!!

    and i guess i should mention i bought it at best buy and they ported my phone #'s from my google phone and when i got home i sync'ed it with itunes and it doubled my contacts.

  • Ghost contact group after syncing with Exchange?

    There seems to be bugs in syncing iPhone with Exchange. After I connected to an Exchange 2007 account, I have the following groups on the iPhone:
    - All contacts
    - (EmployessList)
    - Contacts
    - WORK
    - PERSONAL
    - TEMP
    I do have WORK, PERSONAL, and TEMP folders under my Outlook contacts, so those three groups are not stranger to me. But I don't understand why other two gets there.
    And I understand the "Contacts" groups are for those in the root of Outlook Contacts folder, which haven't been sorted into any sub folder.
    But the (EmployeeList) group totally comes out from nowhere, I don't have that folder in my Exchange mailbox. When choosing it to view on the iPhone, it is empty. I created a fake name under this group and it never get sync'ed to Exchange.
    Where exactly does it come from, and how could I get rid of it?

    This issue was resolved when I changed something for another error. I guess the email address has to match "case sensitively" with what you have in Exchange account. As soon as that was corrected, the (EmployeeList) group disappeared after a successful sync.

  • I can't find the 'contacts' icon after syncing

    Iphone 4s does not show an icon/app for Contacts.  When syncing I ticked the box for contacts.

    Not the iTunes on your phone. I meant the iTunes on your computer. I'm sure you'll find it there.....if not, do a reset of your phone (you will not lose anything).....just press the SLEEP button and the HOME button at the same time ...CONTINUE TO HOLD UNTIL YOU SEE THE APPLE LOGO....then release the buttons....and your phone will re-boot.

  • IPhone 3GS getting hot after adding hotmail active sync

    After adding 2 of my hotmail account as Microsoft exchange accounts using active sync, I have noticed that my iphone 3GS is getting extremely hot. I already have gmail through exchange for more than a year now for contacts and calendar. This heating problem started after adding these 2 hotmail accounts. Anyone else experiencing the same issue. Please help.

    HI,
    Try resetting your iPhone. From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. All your preferences are reset, but no data or media is deleted.
    See if that makes a difference.
    Information here: Keeping the original iPhone within acceptable temperatures

  • IPhone 4 contacts do not sync with Mobile Me

    For some reason there is a small piece of syncing that is not working. My contacts and calender events sync from my iMac to MobileMe to my iPhone perfectly. However, when I enter contacts in my iPhone they do not sync to MobileMe or the iMac. The Calender events work, but not the contacts. I have searched many other posts, but I cannot seem to find how to get thie fixed. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Hey..
    Hopefully this support article will help you. The problem is clearly between your iPhone and MobileMe/Mac...check the settings of your handset using this document:
    MobileMe Setup - iPhone & iPod Touch
    Hopefully this post has been helpful in solving the issue.
    Please let me know how you get on.
    Best of luck..

  • Contact corrupted after sync

    When I sync my computer Outlook contacts with my Q10 using BlackBerry Link (one way to phone only via a USB cable), not only are all changes to contacts not being updated on the phone, but several of the contacts have been corrupted - wrong company names, phone numbers, and addresses, and even wrong names!
    Link says that the sync was successful.  I am running Outlook 2010 and the latest Link software update 10.2.1.2976. 
    The only way I've been able to fix this is to:
    1.  Delete all contacts on the Q10 phone one-by-one(!)  I have almost 3,000.  (Deja Hub doesn't work.)
    2.  Sync my old BlackBerry Bold 9930 with my Outlook contacts via BlackBerry Desktop.
    3.  Connect my Bold with BlackBerry Link, transfer the Bold's contacts to Link.
    4.  Re-sync the Q10 on Link, using the Bold's contacts as the base.
    This is ridiculous!  When is BlackBerry going to fix Link??

    Well no replys in a week, I guess the users here are not sure what to tell you, I am not sure also, I do not have Outlook but maybe we can find a work around.
    Have you tried another computer if possible ? Did you try removing BB Desktop Software ?  While you can have both BB DS and Link sometimes there is issues related to that. Some users found success removing BB DS then reinstalling after the reinstallation of Link.
    What is your computer OS ?

  • Duplicate contacts created after sync

    I support a customer with a bb:
    He indicates that he sync's his BB with Desktop Manager and today after doing so he see's two duplicate contact lists:  default and "desktop".   They both contain identical contact information.   He wants to get rid of one of them.  Which one can he remove and how?

    additional note.  Customer is now finding that the sync is now trying to pick up everything that has ever been on the calendar as a "all day event" (as opposed to haveing a specific time entered) and add it to the current day.

  • TS4036 all contacts lost after sync with icloud

    I activated the icloud using my iphone 4s. Suddenly all of my 1000s of contacts were gone. I hope they would still be there on my desktop (till recent sync). There were probably no contacts in my icloud and it wiped those on my cell. This should have been merge and icloud should have updated. Now should I turn off icloud and just sync my iphone.

    Contact applecare. they have procedures for this.

  • All contacts lost after Syncing with Outlook (Windows)

    Hi folks,
    i had sorted out all of my wifes contacts on her iPhone. You know, all had proper phone numbers, street adresses, e-mail adresses and so on.
    Than i wanted to sync them to my Outlook, but i didn't want some old Outlook contacts to get on the phone, so i removed all Outlook contacts from the contacts folder (made a backup, clever me).
    Then i set the iPhone to sync contacts with outlook. iTunes asked if it's allright if more than 5% of my PC contacts are beeing changed, i clicked "Yes", figured the contacts on the phone are whats interesting to me, nevermind the contacts on the pc.
    So here's what itunes did:
    It copied two new contacts from the iphone which previously haven't been on the pc, to the pc and deleted all the rest from the iphone (except the two new).
    Since the iPhone was my only source of the new and improved contacts, all my work that i have put in there (better part of three hours) is gone.
    I am not sure if i should shout, scream or just enter it all again with dignity...
    Is there any way to restore the contacts? Or to prevent something like this from happening again?

    Yep me too. Installed 10.2 onto my Windows 7 PC. Had no issues sycning with Windows Contacts previously, now I can't get them onto my iPhone 4 at all. Tried all the suggestion from Apple Support, still nothing.
    Very unimpressed.

  • How to prevent iphone notes from deleting after syncing to itunes

    Every time I sync my phone to itunes, i lose my important notes! i know how to access them after this happens but I want to prevent them from deleting at all! Please help!

    Hi there KeenMathura,
    There can be a few things that might cause this issue where music is not alphabetically organized on your phone. Resyncing content is certainly one of the steps to use to troubleshoot that. Next I would quit all the running apps on your iPhone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • HT4191 Why did my contacts disappear after syncing with 10.7 for the frist time and how do I get them back?

    It also apparently changed all the contacts on my computer. Now I have a only a portion of my contacts both on my PC and my iPod 4g with nothing to restore from. Thanks Apple! Hope you update your crap OS sometime soon. Maybe then my Messenger app will start working again. Maybe then I can use the app store again. Maybe then I can use a working map again. Maybe then I will start using my apple devices again.

    yes, i did too.. will probably just try to restore them from the iphone sync.
