Outlook contact "other" phone numbers not syncing.

It seems when I have multiple phone numbers in an Outlook contact other than work, home, mobile, and other; these phone numbers aren't syncing to the iphone.  These are numbers that, in Outlook, you have to click on the field to select and see the other number. 
For instance, say I have a contact with a work, home, mobile, and other phone number.  In Outlook, I want to add a Home 2 phone number.  So I click next to the home field in Outlook and select "Home 2" and then enter a number.  Now I have both numbers stored in Outlook, Home and Home 2, albiet I have to toggle between the two to see them.
These are Exchange activesync accounts and I have replicated this with both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010.  Outlook 2010 is the other side of the equation. 
Home 2 doesn't come over to the iPhone. And it not just "Home 2", that was used as an example.  It's essentially, it seems, any numbers that you add beyond the four fields available in the Outlook contact.  I would really be surprised if it wasn't capable of syncing this.  Am I missing something?  Anyone else having the issue or successfully dealing with it?  TIA.

I saw that post and i had to reply for it.
A little-great-working solution for that is to run those 3 lines (one line at a time) on powershell and all the "Other" lable contacts will change to "Mobile" label and here you go, like a magic - all contacts phone numbers are now visible on the phone again.
(Drop the 1. 2. 3. from the lines of course)
Hope i helped someone
1.     $outlook = new-object -com outlook.application
2.     $contacts = $outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(10)
3.     $contacts.Items | % { if($_.MobileTelephoneNumber -eq "") { $_.MobileTelephoneNumber = $_.OtherTelephoneNumber; $_.OtherTelephoneNumber = ""; $_.save() } }

  • Iphone contact's phone number not synced with Outlook

    Hi,
    I have a contact with 4 phone numbers. That contact syncs with outlook in most cases (e. g. a change in a "note" is transfered both ways correctly).
    But: The "private" phone number never shows up in Outlook.
    I already reset the sync history.
    Any other ideas are warmly appreciated!

    PS. Itunes syncs with Outlook 2007

    Well, I fixed it myself. In Outlook, I checked each appointment for a bad reminder time. My default time is 30 minutes. ONE entry showed 0 minutes. I changed it to 30, synced, and lo and behold, I have my calendar back! I can't believe that is all it took.

  • 'other' phone numbers not synchronised from outloo...

    when synchronising contacts in outlook, phone numbers that appear under the category 'others' as oppose to business, or mobile are not synchronised. they show up in outlook, but not on the phone!
    is it possible to either:
    a) synchronise these
    b) automaticaly change the number type to another,
    c) solve this problem in another way?
    the contacts were all synchronised from an earlier phone, where they show up as normal....

  • TS3398 I have lost my contacts that were entered into my iphone in addition to those that are synced from my exchange account. Iphone is only showing email addresses, no contacts with phone numbers.

    Two days ago my phone locked up and when I could access again, my contact list was only a few names and email addresses.  ALL phone numbers wiped from the phone.  I have been using google sync for three years to sync contact and calendar to gmail and then sync gmail to iphone, and it has been seemless.  I would think this was the problem, however the contacts and phone numbers that were added directly the phone are no longer on the phone either....which point to a phone problem.
    I went home, to update but ended up having to "restore" from backup, which I did.  The contacts were visible for less than 24 hours, but then disappeared again the next day.  I have tried forums for google sync as that would solve a large amount of the contacts, but I still can't seem to find a solution for the other contacts added directly to the phone.
    are there any new glitches/issues with the iOS 6 that cause this problem?
    phone is 3GS.
    thanks.

    Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
    Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
    I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
    Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

  • I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks.  After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore.  Please help, thank you.

    Dear Sirs,
    I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks.  After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
    1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
    2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
    Please help, thank you.

    Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
    icloud still works.
    Cant help with the Outlook problem.

  • - i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back ?

    - i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back without having to sync my phone to the library where my ringtones are and possibly lose everything on my phone ?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • Phone numbers not recognised (sms & incoming)

    After a momunmental mobile me sync disaster (it somehow trippled every contact), I had to wipe mobile me (and subsequently all conatcs on my phone) and restore it from a back up. Activating one device at a time and replacing info on device with new data on mobile me.
    When I did this with the iPhone, the contacts were restored, but all messages recieved from my contacts appear as phone numbers not names, so I have no idea who sent them. Also, half of incoming calls have the same problem, not using contact info - just the number. Have backed up & resotred my phone (from said backup) and issue continues.
    Any idaes on how to resolve?

    I already have most recent update 4.3.3

  • Phone will NOT sync calendar

    I just bought this very expensive phone that I have spent the last 2 days trying to get to do the simplest task. I should have kept using my reliable Palm PDA. My I-Phone will not sync from my calendar to my phone. I have read every discussion on here and tried many solutions, but nothing has worked. In fact it has gotten worse. At the beginning I at least got a few, very few, appointments to sync, but now nothing works. I feel like it is something very simple in the way the phone or Outlook is set up since some people get theirs to work right away and some after some trial and error. Right now I just want to throw mine out a window. Does anyone have any step by step instructions you would share with me? I am willing to work through steps, trying one thing, then another. I just want it to work.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I figure I'll get the contacts to sync correctly before I pull my hair out with the contacts. So, syncing my Outlook 2003 calendar to my iPhone's driving me crazy. I tried the Apple instructions, but it still is acting strange. The first calendar entries I made worked fine -- setting a bunch of recurring daily events -- but then I tried to enter events that occur on the first Thurs of each month, or the 3rd Monday of each month, and that's when I started having trouble. Sometimes they sync to the phone, but in the wrong week/day slot, sometimes they are missing altgether. One of the great advantages of having this iPhone is to be able to work between calendars, contacts, email and phone applications. If it won't sync correctly, I should have spent a lot less money and gotten something that would else. I'm still naive enough to think that it will work.
    Actually, I should be able to sync Outlook to the iPhone or the iPhone to Outlook. But that doesn't seem to work right either. Do I need to take everything off and start over?

  • How can I print all my contacts including phone numbers from iCloud

    I used to be able to print all of my contacts including phone numbers etc from iCloud.  Since all the upgrades I can not do this.  I used to be able to change the display by clicking on a ribbon at the top then clicking the gear to have it print.  No ribbon any more and no way to change the display.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks again Ferd. I looked up equivalent of command key on Dell keybrd. It is Windows insignia, however that didn't work. I selected all with the pop up menu by right clicking, which accomplished the same thing, however when I tried to print, it would only print out a couple of names per page and no add'l info. I stopped the printer and tried manually highlighting and selecting all with the same printing result. I finally gave in and called Apple support. After explaining my problem, while I was on hold, I thought I would try the process using Google browser instead of I.E. Guess what, IT WORKED!! All that hassle because of Internet Explorer.  I now can print (or print to .pdf file to save) any time. I do appreciate your input that would have worked with the interpretation of the command key had I not used IE. live and learn. :-)

  • Can I send photos to other phone numbers? or take video??

    I'm not sure if this just isn't capable, or I just cant figure it out?? Help? Thank you. I don't know how to take videos, or send photos to other phone numbers, or forward text messages...??

    The iPhone does not include a video recorder, and does not support forwarding SMS - at the present time anyway.
    The iPhone also does not include an MMS client, but you can do the same via email.
    Ask the sender of an MMS to address the MMS to an email address for an email account that you access with the iPhone's mail client. The sender of the MMS will enter your email address in the To: field for the MMS instead of your cell phone number with area code. The MMS will be received by you as an email with the photo as an email attachment. If you also access the email account with an email client on your computer, you will have access to the received message and photo attachment on your computer - and the same if you access the email account via webmail using a browser.
    This will give you the sender's cell phone MMS email address - included in the From field for the received message. Add this email address to the contact's info in your iPhone's address book. Select a photo to be sent as an email and when addressing the email to this email address, the email with the photo attached will be received by the recipient as an MMS on their cell phone.

  • I lost all the songs on my itunes and now my phone will not sync with out loosing all my music

    my computer hard drive crashed and i had to re download itunes and now my phone will not sync without erasing all my music

    That is correct.  The iphone will sync with one and only one computer/library at a time.  If you sync to another then it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer/library.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use this to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You will also need to enter one unique contact and calendar entry in the computer .  When you first sync, you should get the option to merge.  Otherwise this data will be erased as well.
    Much easier to use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • TS1702 The Calendar app that came on my i4S Phone does not sync the correct time for items posted on my Yahoo Calendar.  Actually, they post exactly 4 hours earlier than the correct time on my Yahoo Calendar.  Does anyone have a "fix" to correct the "time

    I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work.  So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.
