Iphone exchange sync contacts

When I try to sync my Contacts then my Iphone fineshes (circle don't rotate in status bar) at 118 or 243 contacts without an error.
In my Outlook (Exchange account) I have 388 contacts and 93 proposed contacts so 481 all exchange contacts.
Is there a limit for exchange sync contacts?
I tested it with an Itunes (10.2.2) connection and gprs connection the same result...
Any idea?
E-mail sync is ok.
regards
smith

I read that Google Contacts exchange does not support this second mobile field, I will have to use a fax mobile, or something like that.
Cheers

New iPhone 5 syncs contacts to Microsoft Exchange over the air?

Just got a new iPhone 5. It's not syncing my contacts. I've tried everything I can find here. However, there's this one little difference. In iTunes, I'm being told that my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air. ***? I don't have Microsoft anything on my comptuer!
This is a new iPhone 5. I've imported all my contacts from my previous phone which has never been synced with anything. (Syncing didn't exist when I bought the phone.) I've switched all of the contanct information on, and ... nothing. I've tried syncing via iTunes. I've tried sycning via iCloud.
Any new additions I make will sync via icloud (or iTunes), but none of the old contact information will sync to my comptuer. I know it has something to do with the "syncing with Micorsoft Exchange" message, but I have no idea how or why it defaulted to that setting. How do I change it? How do I get my contacts to sync from my phone to my computer?
Thanks.

randers4,
Thank you for your reply. Strangely, the offending email account was the account set up at the store (not Apple store) for an iTunes account. I have no idea why they would have turned on the exchange sync in the fisrt place.
I now know how to turn off the exchange sync. However, I'm not given the option of keeping the contacts on my iPhone if I switch it off. It will delete all of my contacts. Is there a way to avoid this? I'm sure I read something in the discussions here, can you point me back in the right direction? The same thing is going to happen wiith my emails. Unfortunately, I have dozens of emails already...
Again, thanks for your help.

IPhone Exchange Sync Question

I had a corporate OTA MS-Exchange email account that syncs all emails, contacts and calendar events with my iPhone. I recently changed companies. The old company shut off my exchange account access and 99% of the contacts, most of them personal instead of business, are now no longer viewable on the iPhone. How can I view them again to either manually capture the data or send them to my new exchange sync account?
Update: I read thru some discussions on this dating back to 2009. Those blogs suggested that the contact info was only actually ever present on the exchange server and never on the iPhone itself and, as a result, when I deleted the exchange service of the old company on my phone, all of the contacts were removed and lost forever. I don't agree with "lost forever". If all of this contact info was only ever on the exchange server and never on the phone, then why could I see them when I was out of coverage (i.e. on a plane, camping in the moutains, etc.). Clearly the data is on the phone as well as on the exchange server. I beleive that by deleting the "service" on the phone, I have merely removed the pointer to the info that was stored on the phone under that exchange service.
New question: how do I get this data back from the phone? How do I look at the actual file structure on the phone to try to find, open and copy the data in the contacts from the phone?

It was "on the phone" as you surmise, but it was not part of any backup that is made by iTunes. Data in exchange accounts, including contacts, are 'owned' by the exchange server.
The only possible way to get the contacts would be for an it person to go into your exchange account (which probably no longer exist), export or print out the contact information, and send it to you.
Sorry. There is no magic that will get the data back.
Don't store personal information of any kind on company computers. Thus Endeth the lesson for today.

Exchange Sync - Contacts GONE!

Hey everyone -
I'm hoping that maybe some of you can help me out - I would really really appreciate it!
Here it goes:
I added an exchange account and set contacts to sync.
After they had sync'd I removed the exchange account.
Now when I check my contacts they are not in my exchange/Outlook and ALL contacts are missing from my iPhone.
This is really important information for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks

When you add an exchange account, it does not merge the contacts you have on your phone with the ones on the exchange server. It simply removes the ones on your phone and syncs them with the exchange server.
Mind you, it did warn you when you set this up that it would delete all local contacts.
If you still have a computer that synced by USB cable, then remove the exchange account from the phone, resync and get contacts back onto the phone.
Now, setup iTunes so it syncs/merges the contacts on the iPhone with the contacts on exchange. After you have done this, you can readd the exchange account on the phone and it will pull all your contacts from the exchange server down.

IPhone not syncing Contacts to Address Book

I noticed that my iPhone (both original iPhone and iPhone 3G) was not syncing contacts with Address Book. I tried to Reset Sync History in iSync, and when I have tried to replace the contacts on iPhone under the Advanced options, I lose all my contacts on the iPhone!
The only way to get some contacts back is restoring from backup, but unfortunately as iTunes performs a backup of the iPhone on sync, these backups also have no contacts! I have an old backup that fortunately has not been overwritten but the contact list is a bit out of date.
Address Book on the Mac seems to be fine and this is backed up.
It would appear that iTunes has somehow lost its "connection" to Address Book, which is why when I chose to replace the Contacts on the iPhone with the information on the computer I lost them all!
iCal still seems to sync fine with Calendar.
Can I re-link Address Book with iTunes?

Hey lim_my,
Are contacts syncing with MobileMe or any other applications?
I don't have MobileMe.
Now you mention it, Address Book did not appear to even update if I updated a contact in Mail.
Can you sync contacts in another User account? to create another user account goto System Preferences> Accounts> click the lock to make changes> click the + button to add another user account.
Yes I can! I only tried to sync Contacts, leaving all other options i.e Calendars Bookmarks Ringtones Music Videos Applications untouched, and now I have some test Contacts on the iPhone.
You can try Resetting the SyncServices folder, Just follow the steps in this article to stop the service and then delete the SyncServices folder in your user library.

I had tried this before, within iSync, which did not work. I then tried the command in Terminal as per the above link, then went and deleted the /user/Library/ Sync Services folder. Still no joy.
So it looks as though I have a broken Address Book rather than iTunes. Should I post this in the OS X Leopard section of Discussions?

IPhone cannot sync contacts

Does anyone know how to resolve this error? I keep getting an error message stating that iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred while pushing data from the phone.

I have Windows XP and have been having this same problem. To reset the sync history with Window just open i-Tunes; then select "edit" - "preferences." In this window select the "syncing" tab and there you can reset the sync history.
I did this and was able to sync my contacts and calender with Outlook 2003 without any problem.
Hope this helps.

Exchange Synced Contacts Lose Custom Ringtones After 24 Hours

Currently running iPhone 3GS with 3.1 against a Windows Exchange 2003 Server utilizing Active Sync. Once I assign custom ringtones to my contacts (that are synced from Exchange) after about 24 hours all ringtones are reverted back to Default.
Anyone else having this issue or is there a solution?

Actually, I thought a system update does do a backup and restore. I thought it wiped out the data, applied the system OS, then restored the data. Otherwise how would all of the settings, applications, and other data be in the same status as before the update? In any case, I wouldn't have thought that all contact data would need to be re-applied afterwards. But actually my main problem, aside from this, is that my contacts are consistently losing their custom ringtones. I use push services for my contacts, and I can understand why re-population of my contact data loses them since a ringtone isn't a maintained data field in Exchange, but this situation only makes it worse if I'll lose ringtones after every system update.

Can I use a different Apple ID for Find My IPhone and syncing contacts, calendars, etc?

I would like to use one Apple ID to sync all of my contacts and calendars, but I need to place the Find My iPhone functionality in a different Apple ID account. Is this possible? Ideally Find My iPhone would be the ONLY feature used by that account, not app sharing, store purchases or anything else.

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

Broken iphone 4, sync contacts?

hi all,
just joined, so first of all, "HELLO" to everyone.
my iphone 4 fell out of its case and landed face down, smashing the screen.
the damage is really bad, and i can't use the phone any longer. (although, it works perfectly internally, i can still see all the calls, texts, messages, emails, alerts from my apps, all arriving, i just cant access them)
unfortunately, the phone is locked with a pass code, so when i plug it into the pc (itunes) it wont let me sync or back up the phone, it tells me to unlock it (and of course, the screen is not working so i can't get into it.
i'm using my old iphone 3 til i get the insurance sorted, and would like to be able to transfer my contacts, etc, from my iphone 4 (the broken one) to my iphone 3 (the old one im using.
i tried to sync the contacts by following the instructions on this page but it didnt work, i still just had the old contact list.
does anyone know how i can get my contacts transfered?
thanks in advance
jan

hi diesel,
thanks for your reply.
thats the puzzling thing, i do regularly plug both phones into itunes via the pc, and they sync straight away. (i had it set to auto sync til today) so i dont understand why the methd i trid didnt work..
do you know if the phone can be 'factory re-set' while it is locked? or would that need to be done via the screen?
thanks

Why won't my iPhone 4S sync contacts and calendars with iTunes on my Mac?

I've checked settings on both and they seem fine. Music and photos sync fine but not calendars and contacts. Any ideas?

Hello RMC1,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If the issue is limited to Contact and Calendars not syncing, even with the correct settings, when connecting your iPhone to iTunes via USB, you may want to try resetting Sync Services (which is limited to this specific function in Yosemite) and re-enabling your sync-related settings afterwards, as outlined in the following article:
OS X: Resetting Sync Services - Apple Support
Sincerely,

Iphone not syncing contacts/calendar to iCloud

I have all the updated software and installed icloud on all of my devices. I have turned on all options under icloud settings on my iphone in terms of syncing.
I have been able to do a back up of my iphone onto the icloud under storage and backup on my iphone.
If I add a contact or calendar item on my mac, it goes to the icloud and my iphone. No problem there.
My problem is, if I add a contact or calendar item to my iphone, it does not put it on the icloud or on my mac. Please help.
Thanks

On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the boxes next to Contacts and Calendars, reselect those boxes then restart your Mac.
On the iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud then switch Contacts and Calendars off then back on then reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Hopefully everything will sync.

IPhone Exchange Syncing without Enterprise Data

I just got my iPhone 3G yesterday and I have not yet activated the enterprise data plan on my ATT account, however I can still setup my phone to use exchange and it is working great. Is anyone else experiecing this?

The type of data plan you have does not affect the use of exchange .

Change iPhone Exchange Sync 'User Agent' and 'Type'

Hi. Curious to understand how I might go about changing the 'USER AGENT' and 'TYPE' fields that the iPhone uses to identify itself to an exchange server.
Currently my iPhone identities itself to an Exchange server as 'Apple-iPhone/xxx.xxx' and 'iPhone'.
Looking to change these two fields to something different. Is this possible? Can anyone point me towards some productive reading? Not afraid to get my hands dirty in API/SDK.

Really appreciate it.
