Outlook contact duplication on Iphone.

Hi
I have synced my outlook contacts on laptop to iphone via itunes, but have duplicates on my iphone.
How do I undo this and how do I prevent this?

Strange as it sounds, I have yet to find an App that will simply sync with Outlook Notes or Tasks. The native Notes program on iPhone is very limited, it will sync Notes from Outlook but has no flexibility for organizing notes and I do not see how to edit the notes on the phone, it basically transfers Notes from Outlook and puts them in date order. Programs that claim to give more functionality for Notes or Tasks want to sync through a website, doesn't sound very secure and seems unnecessarily cumbersome.

I am not able to sync my outlook contacts with my iphone (both ways) noting that the calendar and notes are suncing perfectly (both ways)?

You cannot sync Outlook 2011 directly with an iPhone, but if you go to the Tools menu and choose Sync Services, you can have Outlook sync with iCal and Address Book, which will then sync with the iPhone. And if your business is using Microsoft Exchange, you can set the iPhone up to communicate and sync directly with the Exchange server.

However, i dont want to replace them, but add the ones on my computer to my iDevice. is there any way to do so? And if yes, how?

No.

In attempting to sync my Outlook Contacts to my iphone 5, Outlook shows in the drop down, but it does not allow click-on, then below is listed only my email information, nothing else, no calendars, contacts. When I click on the email, it adds new acct

In attempting to sync my Outlook Contacts to my new iphone 5,in iTunes, Outlook shows in the drop-down box, but it does not allow click-on. Individual items are not listed to click on. The only listing is my email address and when you sync it, it really does not sync, it adds another email account with the same name, and no contacts sync with it.

also - when I use camera wizard it just tells me the phone is busy or in use and I should retry.
If I use it through windoes explorer - it shows me the camera to computer symbols and a line moving between then but bombs out saying camera is busy.

How can I remove all my outlook contacts from my iphone contacts

Well, Thats was the first time I`ve used Icloud, so I don`t have much experience, and I just active Icloud on my devices and I dont know why all my outlook contacts went to my iphone contacts. How can I remove it on a easy way otherwise I would delete them one by one and that wont be nice, because are too many.
Sincerely
Pedro

Depending how many contacts you started with and where they were from? were they on your sim card before? to remove ALL contact from an iPhone go to iTunes / info un-tick Sync Contacts and change Outlook to another addrss book that has nothing stored in it (ie. empty) sync your phone with that and that will leave your phone with no contacts. Next look for the backup where you had your previous contacts loaded (group) and re sync it to put them back. Chech iTunes when you plug in your phone that it doesn't sync immediately when you plug it in to eliminate future problems.

Outlook contacts duplicate on iPhone and all iOS devices

Hello,
I have been having this issue for quite some time and I have not been able to find anything that would solve my problem besides deleting the contacts manually.
So here is the deal:
In our business environment we use all kinds of iOS devices (mostly iPads and iPhones). So what happens is (at least in my opinion) outlook somehow duplicates the contacts and since we have the outlook contacts to sync on the phones and ipads, they also duplicate on the user's devices. This issue happens about every 2-3 months. When I go in and delete the contacts manually from Outlook, the contacts from the iOS devices sync with the Outlook contacts and the duplicates disappear, but sometimes I have to go in and manually delete them from the devices as well. It is really frustrating for the users because this issue happens often as I said.
The issue happens on iOS 6, iOS 7 and on iPhone: 4,4S, 5, 5S, iPad: 2, 3
What I've tried:
1. I deleted all the contacts manually and made sure they sync with the Outlook contacts. - WORKS TEMPORARILY
2. I turned off iCloud so that the contacts don't replicate among other devices using the same Apple ID - DOES NOT WORK
3. I deleted the duplicates and told the phone to sync less often not as soon as there is a change - WORKS BUT AFTER TIME STILL DUPLICATES
4. I contacted Microsoft for help with the issue and they told me that the issue is probably an iOS issue. - NOT REALLY SURE
Any help would be a appreciated it. I want to solve this issue once and for all.

After getting your Address Book contacts restored on your Mac, the Address Book application includes a simple backup feature.
At the menu bar, go to File and select Back Up Address Book.
The default name for the backup file will be Address Book - (and the date).
Store this file in a safe location - preferably on an external drive used for backup purposes only.
If you ever need to recover all Address Book contacts from the most recent backup file, at the Address Book menu bar go to File and select Revert to Address Book Backup selecting the Address Book backup file.
iCal includes the very same simple/easy backup feature.
Before using a sync type function with any device, creating a backup of the data to be synced is a good idea and should be your very first step. The same before making a number of changes, additions, deletions to the Address Book data. This shouldn't happen so something is wrong but it can happen which is one of the reasons for maintaining a regular backup of all important information.

HT4859 How do I transfer my outlook contacts to my iPhone?

How do I transfer my outlook contacts from my lap top to my iPhone?

Howdy Blue Island Ave,
Here is an article about doing just that named Syncing contacts and calendars to iPod with iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3191.
Dont let the name fool you, the steps are also relevant for an iPhone.
To configure iTunes to sync contacts to your iPod:
Open iTunes.
Connect your iPod and wait for it to appear in the iTunes Source pane.
In the Source pane under Devices select your iPod. This displays the iPod's Preferences.
Click Info.
Select the "Sync Contacts from..." checkbox.
From the menu, choose the program (Outlook or Windows Contacts) that contains the contacts you want to sync with your iPod.
Click Apply.
Tip: iTunes for Windows can only sync Microsoft Outlook and Windows Contacts automatically. Note: Contact Groups from Windows Contacts will not sync with iPod.
Note: iTunes for Windows can only sync contacts from one source at a time, either Outlook or Contacts. If you change the sync source, your new contacts will overwrite the previously stored contacts.

Sterling

HT201269 Transferring Palm & Outlook contact data to iPhone 4s

I transferred my contact information from my old Palm software to my iPhone 4. I also have a lot of contact information in Outlook. Is there any way to transfer this data to my iPhone without duplicating what's already on there from the Palm? I know how to transfer contact data from Outlook to iPhone through iTunes, but haven't done so yet, because many of these are the same, and I fear duplication.
Can anyone help?

If you are trying to sync contacts direct with Outlook on your computer via the iTunes sync process, this is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. You need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.

Outlook - i need outlook contacts to overide iphone help

can anybody tell me how to set the settings: Outlook overides iphone contacts

If your company used exchange server, and installed a profile on your device, then it is VERY likely that once you are "removed" from access to the corporate server you will lose access to all company info.

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

How do U SYNC iPhone 2 Outlook Contacts (S P E C I F I C F O L D E R.pst)

Yeah you can sync your iPhone to Outlook! But I don't want 14,000 outlook contacts on my iphone. I want to create a separate "outlook.pst" folder to sync to. Is this possible or impossible?

I think you can copy contacts you need to new pst and create new outlook profile that will be used for sync with this pst as default contacts storage and choose this profile when sync. The main drawback of this solution is to impossible to work with main outlook profile when sync that outlook can use only one profile in a time. This can be solved by starting outlook or itunes from another os user.
Other way - to use 3d party software or services for sync contacts, much services have functions to sync selected groups of contacts then you can create special group and add contacts you need to sync in it.

Can't transfer contcats from iPhone to Outlook contacts

Can someone help me please...
I am trying to sync contacts between a subfolder in Outlook Contacts and my iPhone 3GS.
The subfolder in Outlook contains 1 contact.
I am able to select this subfolder in iTunes and start the sync, however, I want to upload ALL my iphone contacts to my outlook subfolder, and download the 1 contact from the Outlook subfolder to my iPhone so that I have identical contact lists in both iPhone and Outlook.
This seems impossible, as the sync just seems to replace my iPhone contacts with my 1 Outlook contact, and does not sync in both directions.
This is driving me completely nuts. An operation that should be so simple is seemingly unnecessarily complicated.
Can someone confirm A. whether or not this action is even possible. and B. if it is possible, can you tell me how to do it?
Thanks!

They never do.
If you are on Windows and actually have photos in the camera roll, you should find your iphone in the Explorer, only being able to copy and delete photos from this folder (you can't access anything on the phone except the Camera Roll).
On a mac, open iPhoto and your iPhone should be found as a device in there.
iTunes cannot copy photos from the iPhone to the computer...
