IPhone sensitivity bug in Outlook syncs

The iPhone does not support the "sensitivity" setting in Outlook contacts/calendar. This setting must be either normal, personal,private or confidential. Other PDAs which don't have a way to set this (to private on the calendar, for example), just set everything to "normal". Since this setting is "blank" on the iPhone, calendar entries which originate on the iPhone will not sync to an exchange server or 3rd party sync app that is set to recognize this feature (ours is). Thus I can sync iphone calendar entries to the desktop (Outlook 2003 using Unicode), but they will not sync to the server.
The workaround appears to be that all calendar items must be originated at the server (my secy) or the desktop. They can then be modified by the iphone. Otherwise, the desktop must be set to view "sensitivity" and each iPhone calendar entry must be modified on the desktop to the "normal" setting one by one. Does anyone know a better workaround or is Apple going to fix this bug?

If the user prefers something other than Hebrew, I think the same result can be had by adding a dingbat. These can easily be found in an app like Unicode Map. ✈✌✩❄➳

How to sync iPhone/iPad contacts TO Outlook?

I am confused by the cavalier way the term "sync" is bandied about in the MS Outlook/Apple iTunes context.
I want to make my Outlook contacts look just like my iPhone contacts. I.e., after a sync, I don't want any contact info in one device that's not in the other.
In the past, "sync" has meant to me "make them both the same." But the mechanism whereby that occurs is not obvious in the context of iTunes and MS Office. For instance, when iTunes is syncing, what happens if a contact's name is in both the PC and iPhone, but the email addresses are different? Am I offered the opportunity to make a choice? What happens if Outlook contains an entry that's not on the phone? Will it end up on the iPhone? What happens if a contact is in the phone, but not in Outlook - will it get created in Outlook?
I consider my phone the primary device for accumulating contact information. As a consequence, my Outlook contacts are woefully out of date vis-a-vis my iPhone's. But I am sore afraid to engage the iTunes syncing, lest it somehow decide that what I want to do is replace the contacts on my iPhone with those from Outlook. I've seen too many comments elsewhere about contacts being lost wholesale, or duplicated wholesale.
Is there any definitive source for further detailed information on this subject?
IOS 7.1.2
Windows 7
MS Office 2013

Here is the way about how to transfer contacts from iPhone to Outlook:
Step 1: Connect the iPhone to the computer using the supplied USB cable and launch the iTunes application. iTunes displays your iPhone on the left panel under "Devices".
Step 2: Click your iPhone on the iTunes panel and click the "Info" tab. Click "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook."
Step 3: Select "All Contacts" if you want to sync all the contacts from your iPhone to Outlook. If you want to select specific contacts, click "Selected groups" and place a check on the contacts you want to sync to Outlook.
Step 4: Click "Apply" to sync your iPhone contacts to Outlook. Click the "Eject" button on the right panel and disconnect your phone from the computer. Close iTunes.
Step 5: Launch Outlook and click the "Contacts" tab. You should see the imported iPhone contacts.

E-mail (Outlook) syncs to iMac and iPad, but not to iPhone. How can I get it to sync to all three devices?

My e-mail (Outlook) syncs to my iMac and my iPad. However, I can read e-mails on my new iPhone, respond to them, and even erase them, but when I go to my computer or iPad afterwards, they still appear unopened and I have to open each one and close it again so it doesn't show up as an unread e-mail. This does not happen with the iMac and iPad; deleting it on one of those deletes it on the other as well. What am I doing wrong?

I asked the hosts to relocate your question to the Using iPhone Forum. You should get helped there.

Iphone 3.0 no longer sync's with Outlook

My iPhone 3.0 has stopped syncing with Outlook calendar all of a sudden? Have tried to look on forum for clues but can not fine anything to work for me.
Everything work fine up until about two weeks ago. Computer OS is Windows 7, Outlook is 2003 and have tried the below with no luck.
• Reinstalled iTunes
• Only syncing event up to 30 days
• Removed any down loads to both computer and iPhone since problem started
• Restored computer to earlier date
• Done a sync reset on iPhone
Any ideas what to try? Or a fix for this problem.

Similar problem here.... my calendars sync but I get an error trying to set up the contacts syncing and it won't sync them.
I got totally screwed when they took the iPod and .mac syncing out of iSync, cause I also sync my phone and Palm, and syncing either of those doesn't work right either.

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.

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.

How do I sync my Iphone-4 with MS Outlook 2007

I am running Windows XP Pro, SP 3, and woiuld like to sync my Iphone 4 with my outlook version. 2007, contacts. I woiuild like the option of ether overwriting from the phone tot he computer, or from the computer to the phone, or just exchange, and update from both (if that's possible).

You can do this through iTunes. If you connect your phone and click on it where it appears under Devices, then on the screen that appears, click on the Info tab. In here you have the option to Sync Contacts with a drop-down box to choose what program you want to sync with.
The first time you do it, it should give you the option of which source you want to overwrite or to merge. After that, by default it will overwrite the Outlook contacts with the iPhone contacts unless you scroll to the bottom of the Info page to the Advanced section and check Contacts to overwrite the phone.

My iphone 4 cant seem to sync my contacts with outlook 2010

I just purchased an iphone 4 and I cant sync my contacts with my outlook. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I think you have to choose which program you want to sync with, when your phone is pluged in and iTunes is up, go to contacts, calendars, and a drop down menu should pop up. you should be able to select outlook fom the list.

Unique iphone/Outlook sync problem ???

Hello all,
I have followed posts for over a month now (since I got my phones) and have yet to see this specific problem. I even spoke with the 1-800 people but their insight was limited at best. So I decided to sign up and place this post. Any help would be appreciated. I too, like many others have had problems syncing my iphone with Outlook (2003) both ways. I use Outlook express for email/contacts (via WAB) these sync fine. I just have to open my email a/c (since both my wife and I have iphones and separate emails). Never get any error messages for Outlook calendar when I sync; in fact occassionally get the "you are about to change more than 5% of what is currently there." When I open Outlook though nothing comes up. Same thing with Outlook; if I place new appt then sync; it does not show up on iphone. I have read and tried every suggestion within these posts to no avail and pretty much had decided I would have to live with just using the calendar on iphone alone. Here is the kicker; my iphone crapped out a week ago; top third of touch screen would not work; called the 800# went through all their template troubleshooting; tried to resync everything again so I could load it on my loaner. Never could pull it up on Outlook though. Accepted the fact I lost my calendar; however when my loaner came to me when I placed my sim card in and synced it; much to my amazement the calendar popped up on my iphone. Still having same problem of new items entered either on iphone or Outlook not syncing either way. BTW have received a new phone now; just wondering if anyone has any insight to this problem and what I could possibly do to fix it.
Things I have already done (from posts read):
Uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes
Have most recent software on iphone
Added sp2 for Outlook
Added sp3 for Office
Inactivated my Norton's when syncing
Checked and made sure I do not have Windows Live loaded
Confirmed PST file accepts unicode
Anyone that has any help for me; it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem when I first got the phone when they first came out and I spent a few hours on the phone with them. I had reoccuring events set up in my outlook that were scheduled with no end date. Apparently it caused some sort of sync problem. I had to go into the event that I scheduled to occur every third day with no end-date and I scheduled it to end around the year 2010. Anyways, I don't know if this will help but it worked for me.
good luck!

The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be. There is no setting to enable or disable this.
