Need to sync both iCloud & MS Exchange contacts

In Outlook 2010 I have: 1. Contacts from MS Exchange, 2. Suggested Contacts, 3. Conctats (iCloud Archive) and in another category I have Cloud Contacts.
I need to sync both iCloud ans MS Exchange contacts on my iPhone and keep them as different groups in outlook 2010.
Can someone help me?
Thanx

Try posting in the iCloud forums or on a Microsoft centric forum. How you sync Outlook and to what sources is not related in any way to the iPhone.

I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

Can i sync mobile me and exchange contacts at same time?

hi, i've a mobileme account, with my contacts synchronized. The question is, if now, i configure on that same iphone, an exchange account (my work email), and i also sync exchange contacts, will my mobileme contacts be erased? or they will coexist both without any problem?
thanks!!!

Yes, you can. Contacts from MobileMe and the Exchange server will be stored in separate groups. In addition, you'll have access to the Global Address List on the Exchange server.

How can I sync both Outlook (through Exchange) and iCal with my iPhone???

I recently added my Outlook account via MS Exchange to my iPhone to access my email and outlook calendar. At this time I could still sync iCal as well, and I could chose to view either one, or both calendars at the same time, on my iphone. Then for some reason, about a week later I could only see my outlook calendar on my iPhone.
Now when I try and sync my iCal again, it doesn't even come up as an option in iTunes. I can turn stop pushing the data for Outlook on my phone and sync with iCal again, but then I loose all of my Outlook appointments. It seems now that I can only have one or the other!

If you are accessing an Exchange account via ActiveSync or a MobileMe account with over the air syncing enabled for contact info and calendar events, you can't sync contact info and calendar events direct with a supported application on a computer via the iTunes sync process. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time.
You can sync your business Exchange contact info and calendar events over the air and personal contact info and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account at the same time. You can view contact info and calendar events combined with both, or view contact info and calendar events with each separately.

IPad syncing with iCloud and Exchange = problems ?

Greetings,
I am using Apple products since 2 years ago. Everything started with an iPod Touch 64 and things grew to an iPhone4, iPad and now, an iPad 2.
I also have a Motorola Xoom (Honeycomb 3.2 based), a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.3.3.
All devices are configured to sync mails, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with an Exchange Server. Until iOS5 and iCloud, there were no problems whatsoever. Contacts created on any device used to replicate to the others without a problem, although the iDevices (iOS based) never understood “categories”, a resource commonly used in an outlook environment to help sorting things out.
Last week, Ibought the iPad2. Updated it and configured it to use the same Exchange Server as the other devices. Also, I chose to use iCloud.
After that, I noticed that on a daily basis, contacts would appear without categories, first day, a few, around 5. Second day, 10 more. Third day, more 20. After the second day, I also noticed that the “display as” field (also known as “FiledAs”) was starting to show names with Last, First order. Here in Brazil we sort names as First Last. Of course, outlook, all android devices and also the iPad were all configured correctly (First, Last).
The problem was getting bigger every day. Yesterday, 900+ of my almost 2000 contact list were mixed up, missing their categories and also had their first and last names changed in the Filed As field.
After deleting, editing, restoring backups etc. more than once, I have finally found that the iCloud is probably the culprit.
Changed my iPad config to keep from syncing with iCloud and configured it to backup locally.
Deleted all accounts in all devices, deleted all data from contacts. Configured the accounts and left the devices syncing. Restored a backup. All devices synced and received the contacts.
Surprise: problem solved. So far, no missing categories, no inverted First, Last names. Maybe if anyone find himself in the same situation, it might help.

I have the same problem. My MacPro isn't on Lion, as I have lots of software that isn't compatible yet. But I have 10.7.2. on my MacBookPro and iOS5 on my iPhone and iPad.
I would like to go to iCloud for those devices that are capable to run it, but I do not want to loose sync services for my MacPro which is on 10.6.8. Will iCloud and MobileMe be in sync until 30.06.2012, so I can use them in parallel, or do I have to wait until all computers are updated to Lion?

Can I force sync *to* iCloud? All contacts delete themselves.

In MobileMe, you could force a sync in the direction you needed, but I don't see any way of doing that with iCloud.
For some reason, the first problem was that if any contact was in a group, that contact disappeared. But I have a backup made with the Address Book export feature. (I make a backup every couple of days. I distrust syncing where I can't force the direction.) I deleted all my contacts on the Mac, imported the backup, and everything including contacts groups is back to normal ... but only for about 20 seconds. During that few seconds where the Mac's Address Book is empty, the iCloud address book emptied itself as well.
Since the Contacts at iCloud is also empty, it appears that the syncing mechanism assumes that iCloud is correct, and deletes everything on my Mac and iPhone.
One solution *might* be to disable iCloud, turn MobileMe back on, import contacts, then sync upward to MobileMe. Then, switch back over to iCloud. But before I try that, does anyone know of a more elegant solution that forces my Mac to be the base data and force an upload to iCloud?

Update: It appears the iCloud preferences are lying to you. In the preferences I disabled syching of contacts, but contacts still disappear after an import. The only way to retain them is to turn off internet access. BUT, about 20 seconds after I reattach to the internet, my contacts disappear.
Further, upon import and with no internet connection, the Address Book section that populates itself is the iCloud > All iCloud section. The "All on My Mac" is empty. This clearly isn't correct.
This clearly is correct, assuming that you want iCloud to handle your contacts, 'On my Mac ' does not sync to iCloud (actually nothing does, you subscribe to your account in iCloud, not sync to it, Google CardDav for a fuller explanation)
If you want your contacts in the On my Mac account copy them there from iCloud, but they will not distribute to any other devices that way, if you want them on multiple devices (like an iPhone) then they have to be in iCloud (or you could sync with a wire via iTunes). Or use a different service.

Can you sync both iCloud and Google Calender at the same time?

Hi all,
I am an iCloud/MobileMe user, but have a Google Calender at work with other colleagues.
Is it possible to sync both to my iPad/iPhone at the same time?
I am yet to find a way to do this.
Thanks

You can subscribe to both calendars on your iPhone/Pad etc, you can also subscribe to them on your Mac

I set up iCloud on the Mac and sync my devices but my wife also uses an iPhone with a different id. How do we sync both iClouds to the one Mac?

My wife & I use the same Mac (running Lion) to share address book, Calendar. Now with iCloud we have separate Clouds for each device.
We need to still sync to the on Mac. How do we acheive this? My iCloud works fine but not the wife's.

I'm trying to sort out the same thing. I appears that under your iPhone Mail, Contacts, Calendar settings, you can change you account name that it syncs with, so you may be able to just add your AppleId account to your wifes settings, not sure. It also lists eMail, though, as well, so not sure how that would route your separate email.
Also, in AddressBook, there is a sharing option in preferences you might want to check out. I'm in the process of upgrading all our iOs stuff, so haven't had time yet to check it all out. It is taking a LOT of time to work through all this. Not seamless by any means.

New iphone user - help needed with sync and icloud

I have 389 contacts on my iphone 4S,but only 370 are appearing in icloud on my laptop. When I look at "Groups" on my iphone there are two - icloud which contains the 370 that have sync'd ok, and my Apple account name (or e-mail address, they're the same) which contains 379. Presumably the missing 19 are somewhere in this 379, as when both groups are enabled I have the total of 389.
Any suggestions how I can get all my 389 contacts (and future new ones that I add) to sync correctly?
Thanks

Because there is only 19 I would go to icloud.com and sign in. I would add each one into your contacts that way and delete the duplicates.

How do i sync my icloud contacts with outlook for Mac 2011

I need to sync my icloud contacts with Outlook for Mac. Help!

You can't, as Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV protocol necessary to do so (even though they do in Microsoft Office). See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915. To sync your iCloud contacts with your Mac you'll need to use the OS X Contacts (Address Book) app.

ICloud Email and Contact Security?

I have a client that is very strict on security with their devices. With BlackBerry this was never an issue but now that "iCloud" has been introduced they are worried that company emails are being stored in the cloud. As it stands right now if someone is let go I can wipe the device remotely but now since things are going to the cloud I would think someone with a wiped device could easily get all that data back upon device reactivation?
The data they are concerned about are company contacts associated with their company email address. I’m thinking that the only email that syncs to the cloud is the "me.com" email address but im not sure. If that is the case is that same with the contacts that sync to the cloud, are they just me.com contacts? If it's just me.com that syncs then we are in the clear but if its syncing proprietary company data then we may have to ban iPhones due to strict FINRA compliance policies.
Anyone else run into anything similar?

It's just the @me mail that is synced with iCloud. The contacts that are synced are those you choose to sync, you can put contacts you don't wish to sync in the Address Book On My Mac Account.
You might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book

How do I allow users to backup iPhone EXCLUDING Exchange data (no CONTACTS, Mail, Calendar, Tasks, etc) for BOTH iCloud and iTunes?

We are EXTREMELY sensitive to corporate data and we wish to force compliance to our standards. We understand people need to back up THEIR data, but we are not willing to allow them to backup OUR data. We define OUR data to be any data that is entered into our Corporate Mail environment (Exchange 2007). Is there a way to allow for backups to either iCloud or iTunes that does not back up Exchange Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Tasks, etc. ?
We are using Mobile Iron which provides a way to disable BackUp via iPhone profiles being distributed, but we wish to allow people the ability to backup their content, again, just not ours. And we've seen some very similar threads.
We have noticed that the backups do not backup Mail and Calendar items, but it does backup Contacts. That's the sticking point.
Any help would be most appreciated. This is a major concern.

OK, sounded like a good suggestion, perhaps it only appeared the data was being backed up, but in reality the connection was being made and the contacts were some how syncing back w/ the cached credentials restablishing sync with the server. That would not have explained why messages and calendar items didn't resync; but I was willing to take it for a test spin. Wiped device, changed password in AD (so that it couldn't sync), began restore, and after restore with AD password changed prior to restore, the two test Exchange contacts were regrettably on my phone. Further test the reasonable theory of maybe credentials are being restored and the only contact data is being actually synced to get the data back on the phone, I added a third contact.
Now just to be belt and suspenders (to make sure something isn't happening at the restore where it get's the contact information at that exact window of time), I am wiping my again to see if the third contact (that's in my exchange contacts on the server) makes it to my device possibly during the sync, but I'm pretty sure what is happening is that he contact is making it "or being" some how categorized as "phone" data as opposed to Exchange data and being backed up there erroneously. For instance if you were to create a contact on an iPhone prior to establishing a sync relationship with the exchange server, it would take that contact and create that contact on your exchange server for you so that your "phone" data and your "exchange" data (as it relates to contacts at least) are in sync.
If you grant this assumption, then, when syncing Exchange data, the "phone" data is being created. When the back up takes place, I believe there is no distinction or bifurcation of these two data types. Phone data is backed up with no rhyme or reasoning related to its history or origin of creation (i.e. where it came from), it's not a contact from Exchange, it's just a contact. I believe Apple needs to tattoo Exchange contacts in some fashion or provide a "transparency" kind of paradigm or model used for calendars, where you can see two sources intermingled in a view, but they are truly not (you just see all).
Apple has indicated they understand the severity of this and are looking into it, but if anyone else has any insight or profiles not discussed on

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac. How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library? I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac. How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library? I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?
