Not all phone numbers sync from Gmail to iPhone

Is there a way to control which phone numbers sync from my Gmail Contacts to my iPhone (and vice-versa)?
A few things I've noticed:
- only 1 "mobile" number gets synced from gmail to iphone (which is a pain when a contact has mobile numbers is a couple of different countries)
- a number labled as "other" in gmail doesn't get synced at all to the iphone
I should mention that I have my Gmail account on my iPhone set up as an "Exchange" account.
Thanks.

If you've got Gmail set up as an Exchange account, your options for labels are limited. And, every now and then, I had it randomly relabel things. I'd recommend syncing the contacts through a standard Gmail set up. If you want to keep using your email through Exchange you can do that. Just turn off contacts for that account. When you set up the standard Gmail account (IMAP), only turn on contacts. I've found it works much better.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

    I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I am trying to delete everything so I can back it up from my previous phone and not my husband's.  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

    I tried following the instructions listed in the following thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19512128#19512128
    but have still been unable to backup data using the third party software.
    TouchCopy tells me I have no photos or Video ad won't alllow me to copy any of the critical files e.g. Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc.
    Anyone have any other suggestions for backing up my iPhone? Or help using TouchCopy?
    If I am ever able to get TouchCopy to work, should I be using Copy to iTunes or Copy to PC option?
    Thanks!

    Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
    There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
    And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
    Good luck.

  • My phone died! if i restore from i tunes is all phone numbers

    my i phone died, if  i restore from i tunes are all phone numbers & information lost?

    If you've been losing your phone as directed, you should have no data loss as you've been making frequent backups and synching your contacts to a cloud service or contact manager application.

  • Syncing contacts from GMAIL to IPHONE

    So OF COURSE, like all things tech/software related for me, I've tried everything I've found on how to delete contacts, clean up contacts, sync from Gmail, and I just flat out CAN'T.
    Tried this: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
    and of course, the "What would you like to do with existing local contacts on your Iphone" screen does not come up. I already freaking HAVE gmail on this phone, adding it as an MS Exchange account does nothing for me.
    Tried mass deleting via itunes info tab>advanced. It simply "syncs" and is finished in 2 seconds. Go into my phone, I STILL HAVE 3800+ CONTACTS. So that didn't work either. SHOCKER.
    Tried like 3 apps, looks as if I've succeeded. Go into my phone, 3800+ contacts.
    Besides WHY ME? my question is, does iCloud have anything to do with why these freaking things won't go away?
    I want to accomplish 1 of these 3 things:
    Have ALL my contacts currently in my phone (or on the cloud) replaced with my gmail contacts.
    Have ALL my contacts currently in my phone replaced with gmail contacts AND facebook contacts, with all data (phone numbers, bdays, email addresses, ect) related to that person, under ONE contact. I have 2 numbers, and 2 email addresses for Maddie Jackson, why the **** would I want to display that as 4 contacts?!
    Delete ALL contacts currently in my phone (or on the cloud), so I have ZERO contacts when I tap the freaking phone button, then export my gmail contacts FROM gmail onto the iPhone. Can someone PLEASE help me?!

  • ICloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone

    In iCloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone contact.

    That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Pushed contacts from gmail on iPhone 4 not the same as iPhone 3G

    Hi
    I use gmail (via Microsoft Exchange setting on the iphone) to push all of my contacts from gmail onto my iPhones contacts and this worked great on my iPhone 3G.
    However, since upgrading to an iPhone 4, whenever I add a new contact on my iPhone, the new contact isn't pushed to my list of gmail contacts when I sign in to gmail to check.
    What I have found is that if I back out of all contacts and into groups, there is now a tab called "On my iPhone" and when I hit this I see the contacts that I have added from my iPhone. I want it to go back to the way it was before and for it to be that every time I add a new contact on my iPhone, I want it to be added to my gmail contacts and not on it's own just on the iPhone.
    How can this be resolved please?

    The U.S. Apple store publicized as the type of Sim-free iPhone, and not as a contract-free.
    Now in the Apple store site, including the FAQ for purchasing iPhone4 unloked, is written:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC603LL/A?mco=MjI4NTM2NTM
    "Why does the price of the unlocked iPhone differ from the price of a contract-based iPhone?
    Carriers typically subsidize the purchase price of the phone when purchased with a service contract. By purchasing your iPhone unlocked, you are not committing to a service contract up front, so you can use any micro-SIM card from a supported GSM carrier, including your current one"
    I wonder why I pay the same price as a phone but an identical unlocked, it is a fraud

    You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

  • My Iphone 4s is not deleting phone numbers permanently. I will go in to delete them, however, the phone still has them saved. I can see this when I go to text people. What do I need to do to turn this off? I'm sure it is simple.

  • IE11 favorites 'pinned to start menu' bug - not all of these sync between Surface RT and Surface 2

    answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surf2-surfgetstart/not-all-of-my-favorite-websites-that-were-pinned/
    Recently bought surface 2, originally pinned everything on Surface RT in windows RT, later upgraded to windows 8.1 RT
    Noticed only some of my favorite websites that were pinned to start sync'd over to the Surface 2. They were also out of order, but still in the same section of the start menu
    Didn't get anywhere on the other forums. Any tips here that might help?
    How does the start menu sync work?

    I'm pretty sure both of my surface's are already trusted devices.
    I sign in to both of them every day.
    First, the sync is not instant. There should be a way to force the sync... like a sync button.
    I tested this by moving some pinned things around AND changing the start background and then waiting for the other one to catch up with the start menu changes.
    The Journals / website pins to start are definitely bugged between the two devices. Not all of them sync.  I'm now in the process of doing a work-around.  Instead pinning them to a favorites bar folder AND the start menu... until this is resolved.
    It's pretty annoying and hope that Microsoft is looking in to it.
    EDIT:
    More info about the bug.  I re-pinned the website to start on the Surface 2 (which didn't originally sync over from the RT).  Now when I move it around on the Surface 2, it moves the same website, but different name on the start screen on the Surface
    RT.
    So it is detecting that it is the same website pinned, but the names are not syncing over.  It is like it is hidden, although it's not like there is a box missing... it re-organizes / collapses the order down to appear that it isn't missing multiple
    boxes.
    EDIT 2:
    When working on the work-around, after adding the website to a favorite bar, then going to the device that didn't sync, opening the page, then re-pinning it to start on the bugged sync device, it will insert the pin in the exact same spot on that device,
    even if you name it something else - you'd think it would go to the end, but it knows where it is supposed to go... even though the sync is bugged.
    I ran the troubleshooter linked here, but it just made a log. I put the result in the other forum:
