Outlook contacts issue

i use a PC and Outlook. icloud created a folder "Contacts-iCloud" and most of the contacts went there and synced to phone and ipad. Good. however, many did not and ended up in a folder called "Contacts Merge Conflicts" what do i do to get these resolved and into the "Contacts-iCloud" folder so they sync?

In Outlook, select all the contacts in the conflicts folder, copy them to the iCloud contacts folder, if there are duplicates delete them before or after doing this.

  • Outlook Contacts Issue after Edited on iPhone

    When I edit a contact (or add a new contact) on my iPhone, it appears with all information in my Outlook "Contacts" folder. This is good.
    BUT - when I am creating a new email in Outlook and press the "TO" button to open up the Contacts folder, all contacts that have been edited or added on the iPhone are not visible on the list. Whereas, all my other contacts in the folder are.
    Any thoughts?

    ok me also
    this release has been utterly ridiculous and I am an avid apple supporter
    but now my emails are all gone from my contacts
    my mail has been unavailable for over 8 hours
    my phone was a brick for five hours after the initial release
    a new one is twice what the old one cost and requires a 2 year contract 2 years of bs what a joke
    and to make it even more frustrating is that it worked so well before and I got many friends and business associates to purchase one because the iPhone was phenomenal
    and we should not have to try and figure out why they don't work apple should
    my time is priceless that I can't get back
    my phone is inoperable and I still have to pay for it
    Apple really needs to buck up and take care of their issues and customers
    my patience is shot and I have spent way too much time and effort on problems that should ahve never existed
    help!
    and don't tell me that i need to uninstall re-instal empty cache etc
    create a way to fix this for us
    you created the problem fix it or loose millions of customers and don't wonder why!

  • Iphone and outlook contact issue

    Whenever I enter or edit a contact on my iphone it shows up in outlook with the first name, last name reversed = Smith,John. I have changed settings in outlook from file as field both ways to no avail. Anyone else having this problem, any fix?
    Thanks!

    I was having the exact same problem. Connect iPhone 3g and Canon CameraWindow would open with a notification that no camera was attached.
    I found a setting in ImageCapture which controls what happens when you connect a camera. In the preferences menu, just select none. Problem fixed.

  • Outlook contacts synchronization issues

    I cannot modify a contact in Outlook which has been created for me by Beehive - I get an 'Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook, Synchronization Issue, Updating Contact <name>'.
    Beehive automatically created contacts, many of whom no longer work with Oracle (they were external contractors), or that I already had in my contacts. Now I have many contacts I don't want and I can't clean this up, since when I try, the next day they are all back again.
    I click on the link in the message and it says the cause is "Cannot move, update or delete a contact that was created automatically for the workspace.".
    - but I don't want any of these contacts.
    What can I do? - this getting Kafkaesque.

    as far I remember, you need to block / delete thus users from the messenger. This is the reason for sync. (in additonal you will receive all directs and pre-set user from the messenger automatically in outlook).
    I use an iPhone. what worked for me:
    - Killing the messenger,
    - creating a Outlook sub-folder in contacts ("iPhone").
    - Moved all my valuable contacts from a backup into this folder new folder.
    - set- iTunes to sync with the contacts sub-folder "iPhone"
    no more interference of the auto created users from beehive!
    This will not work on Blackberries and iPhone that use notifylink! In notifylink the sync folders are pre-set and cannot be modified by the user.
    With Rel 2, it is expected that you may make modifications to the auto created users. Wait till Rel 2 (which is expected to be rolled out sometime this calendar year).
    Hope this helps, Daniel

  • New iphone 4 outlook contact updates not syncing to phone since i downloaded icloud

    Just purchased my first iphone after only using Androids or Blackberry, from Verizon.  At the store they helped me set up itunes on my laptop to sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar to the phone.
    It seemed to be working fine until I was offered the opportunity to download iCloud. Now the calendar entries on my computer still transfer to the phone but the contacts are not transferring. When I went back to Verizon to ask...they suddenly have amnesia and told me to contact Apple.
    In settings under iCloud I have Mail, Contacts, Calendars all set to "On". I can't see anything else that should be on.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem with one of my apps. I'm just going to wait it out and I feel fairly confident that this issue will clear itself up in time on its own. If not, I'm just going to delete the app...the app is I Say Free so no big whoop.

  • Jabber for Windows Call Voicemail Option Pulls Outlook Contact with Matching digits of VM Pilot

    Running J4W 9.2.2 and when we use the "Call Voicemail" option (we use a 4-digit pilot number), if the end user has an outlook contact that the last 4 of the phone number matches it pulls the outlook contacts name up and displays it in the connected call.  Anyone else seen this behaviour and f so is this a known issue and is there a workaround for this?
    Thanks,

    I Ethan,
       I have this problem too. There was a Bug (CSCud57201) identified for release 9.1 with this problem. The bug notes say it should be solved on 9.2 but I'm running the same version as you and having exactly the same last digits match problem

  • IPhone no longer syncs with Outlook Contacts/Calendar

    For months I was syncing with my computer at home for music and videos, then I bring my iPhone to work and sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar.
    Now, when I plug in my iPhone on my work computer, everything operates as it used to, it still says it's syncing contacts, then syncing the calendar, but after it's done, when I look at the calendar or contacts in my iPhone, nothing has changed. It's simply not syncing with Outlook anymore, even though the status bar at the top of iTunes says it is syncing.

    It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
    In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
    To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
    I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!

  • URI dialing changed Outlook contact card

    Hello I have provided all the versioning info etc at the bottom of this post.
    The issue we are experiences is as follows. Before enabling SIP URI dialing within our Jabber Client the contact details for a User would display the following fields
    BusinessPhone = person's AD "telephoneNumber" field and the
    Other = persons AD "ipPhone" field
    This was accomplished by way of editing the following values in the jabber-config.xml file
     <Directory>
       <OtherPhone>ipPhone</OtherPhone>
       <BDIOtherPhone>ipPhone</BDIOtherPhone>
     </Directory>
    After Updating the jabber-config.xml file to the one listed below, the following display problem is now occurring in Outlook contact Cards.
    The person's Telephone number is being replaced by the SIP URI (See Screenshot)
    Is there a way to have SIP URI dialing turned on but continue to show the proper phone numbers in the Outlook contact card? If so how is this accomplished?

    Thanks Christopher for the update on 2013
    could you comment if there is any fix to how jabber itself displays contacts differently after enabling URI dialing. I find the users are confused by seeing a uri form and not selecting it even though it's a valid way to ring an extension. Should be nice to have both the uri and ipPhone listed. 

  • Outlook Contacts do not sort correctly under iCloud

    I have recently started mucking around with iCloud (after the unfortunate discontinuation of MobileMe...).
    I use MS Outlook 2007 on my PC (Windows 7 64-bit) for my Contacts, Calendar & Tasks.  Untill recently, I was syncing my Outlook Contacts & Calendar with my iPhone (latest iOS) via iTunes.  All was working fine.
    A couple of days ago, I installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC and gave it a go to see what will happen to my Outlook setup.  I enabled just the Contacts in order not to stray out too far...
    Once done, iCloud took all the contacts from my personal folder in Outlook and moved them to a new iCloud folder.  So now, I have two different Contact folder, the iCloud dedicated one (which is fully populated) and the other one is the one previously used (which is stored in my local .pst file and now empty).
    All syncing to the iCloud seems to be working OK - I checked my contacts from the www.icloud.com and they are all there.
    The problem I have is withing the new iCloud Contact folder that was created in my Outlook installation.  It does not sort my Contacts correctly
    I have contacts written both in English and in Greek, depending on where they reside.  It seems to get mixed up because of this and mixes up the Greek contacts inbetween the English ones, in a manner that I cannot justify.
    Previously when I had all the Contacts in my local .pst file, it was showing the English ones first and then all the Greek ones, both sorted 100% correctly (by the way, this is how it looks as well in my iPhone).  I have also enabled an option in Outlook settings which allows me to create a second index for the Contacts in Greek - this creates a second Greek alphabet next to the already existing English one on the right of the Contacts view.  None of that seems to have an effect in the case of the iCloud Contacts folder in Outlook, which doesn't sort as it should.
    Has anyone come across this issue and is able to offer some assistance?
    Regards.

    No none, the contacts just do not sort in alphabetical order they should be in. For example I added a name that started with an S but it would not go under the S category of names but rather it would create a new S group at the top of the contact list before the contacts starting in A. The OLD list of names starting with S is still existing and in the right alphabetical order but the new contact would not save under that group but rather as I said in a new group starting with S at the top of the contact list.

  • Email and Contact Issues

    My emails are not coming through to my phone unless I manually refresh. I have three accounts setup (Yahoo! and 2 school email accounts). Both school accounts, when I sign on from a computer says something about Outlook: one says Mircosoft outlook and the other says Outlook live.
    I contacted my school and got the correct settings for each account. They work because I get the emails as long as I manually refresh. I initially had my phone set to check for mail every hour but after realizing it was not automatically doing this, I set it for every five minutes. That still didn't help.
    Out of frustration, I called Verizon who told me they knew nothing about such an issue. They connected me to Samsung who said the same thing. Apparently they were both lying as I have Googled this issue and see that it has been posted since Sept 2010. I just have not noticed a solution (possibly overlooking it).
    The solution that they gave me was so a hard reset (didn't work), delete then re-add the accounts (didn't work) or use a workaround. My response to their last suggestion was that I did not feel it was necessary for me to do that when the phone I purchased was supposed to handle email. This has been an issue since I got the phone in Nov 2010 when I switched to VZ. I didn't really notice it until this month because I was having text messaging issues which they didn't fix until this month.
    Samsung ended up telling me to send them my phone and they would troubleshoot it but I had to contact VZ about getting a loaner phone as they were going to have it for a week. When I called VZ back, they told me they would just send me a replacement phone and to not send the phone to Samsung because they could have given me a defective phone. The order wasn't placed because their system was down that Friday and the guy was supposed to call me back. He never did so I called VZ a third time.
    The tech support rep told me that she was positive that if I got a brand new phone I would still have the same problem because its a known issue that Samsung has yet to fix. Also she had the same phone and also some other people she worked with. She told me to make sure I deleted junk mail, sent stuff, kept the inbox down, and empty the trash and that should help. She was supposed to call me back and see if it helped (which it didn't). She never called back....that was Monday and today is Friday.
    Now I'm feeling like they are lying to me because they don't want to replace my device. Then on top of that they told me it would more than likely be a refurbished device instead of a brand new device even though I still have a warranty. Should I push for a new phone or is this really a known issue with Samsung that they have yet to fix? If it is a Samsung issue, what's the workaround until they actually fix it?
    By the way, Gmail works almost instantaneously. They told me to forward all of my mail there but that didn't work for my two school accounts. I don't like that anyway.
    As for the contact issues, I just noticed two weeks ago that my Facebook and Twitter contacts are unsyncing themselves. I don't have all of my Facebook friends or Twitter followers in my phonebook but those whose phone numbers I have, are linked to their Facebook and or Twitter accounts but I notice that both of these accounts unlink themselves. I have no idea why this happens. I keep having to go back into my phonebook and relink about 30 people to their Facebook and or Twitter profiles. Any idea why?

    In your email app, have you tried going into each account, pressing the menu button, account settings, and setting email check frequency to the desired time?
    If that's not the issue, then perhaps pressing the menu button at the home screen, going into settings, accounts and sync, and clicking the background data option is the issue.
    The reason why Gmail works well is that instead of polling (which is what the email app uses, where it queries the account to see if there's anything new), it pushes your email through meaning that it's virtually instantaneous.
    With regards to the Twitter and Facebook issue, try going into the accounts and sync area that I mentioned before.  There, you will be able to set the SNS sync interval and sync the contacts, birthdays, and whatever else it allows.  You'll probably have to click on each of those accounts to check various options before it will autosync.
    My frequency is set to every 5 mins. That hasn't worked. 
    The background data sync option is clicked already.
    The Twitter and Facebook SNS syncing is set. I have noticed though that sometimes when I go in there, the sync arrow is red by Twitter and Facebook. I uncheck the box and recheck it and then it turns green again. What I don't know is why it randomly turns red in the first place. I'm assuming this is the reason the Facebook and Twitter stuff unsyncs itself.

  • HT204150 microsoft outlook contacts are not uploading to icloud?  how do I get it to upload?

    My Microsoft outlook contacts are not uploading to icloud.. how do I correct this ?

    I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
    The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
    Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
    but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
    IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
    as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
    This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
    it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
    what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
    something is crazy
    but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......

  • Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

    I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files. 
    When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
    The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
    Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. 

    iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
    Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.

  • Outlook Contacts "invalid entryid" error after edit on iPod Touch and sync

    There are a few threads about this in the iPhone discussion, but so far nothing on the iPod Touch side and I'm encountering it in both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 after testing on two different computers.
    Issue:
    1. Create or edit a contact on the iPod Touch
    2. Sync with Outlook Contacts
    3. You are no longer able to access the added or edited contact's e-mail address when composing e-mail. If you select the contact's properties from the e-mail interface, you receive an error message that an "invalid entryid was passed."
    My discovery:
    Deleting data from the "Display as" field in the Contact will fix the problem.
    1. In the Contacts folder, open the contact with the problem.
    2. Delete all data from the "Display as" field (displays with Email field).
    3. Select any other field on the Contact form - "Display as" will automatically re-populate
    4. Save the contact. Problem solved.
    Not sure how iTunes sync is corrupting this, but thought I'd share the discovery since suggestions in the iPhone discussion involve exporting, deleting, and importing affected contacts.

    Quick fix method for those who really can't be bothered with any manual methods. Below is a macro for Outlook that will, starting with the currently selected contact folder and including subfolders (mobileme groups), reset all email display names which effectively fixes the EntryID issue. There's no error checking, it's pretty raw but does the job. Hope it helps.
    <STARTMACROCODE>
    Option Explicit
    Sub FixEntryIDs()
    Call FixEntryID
    End Sub
    Sub FixEntryID(Optional ByVal contacts As folder)
    Dim item As ContactItem
    Dim subf As folder
    Dim changed As Boolean
    If IsMissing(contacts) Or contacts Is Nothing Then
    Set contacts = ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
    End If
    For Each item In contacts.Items
    changed = False
    If Len(item.Email1DisplayName) Then
    changed = True
    item.Email1DisplayName = ""
    End If
    If Len(item.Email2DisplayName) Then

    End If
    If changed Then

  • Q10 MS Outlook Syncing Issues

    Bought the Q10 a month ago.  Generall, I like it ok -- requires some routine adjustments, but I like it ok.  
    I use the Q10 for business -- and my company has not (and probably will not) upgrade to their server to new BB required server software.
    So, with that, I noted some syncing issues -- the two way syncing between Outlook and the BB is limited. 
    1.  MS Outlook Email: Generally syncs -- although when i reply to an email on BB, it does not indicate that I replied on MS Outlook.
    2. MS Outlook Calendar: Syncs one way only -- from MS Outlook to BB.  But, BB entries do not sync to MS Outlook.
    3.  MS Outlook Contacts:  Same as MS Outlook Calendar.
    4.  MS Outlook Tasks:  Sames as MS Outlook Calendar and Contacts.
    Can anyway help?

    I find that syncing with BlackBerry Link definitely isn't perfected though it is getting better with every version.
    Two thoughts...
    1) there is a setting what to do with conflicts. Check what you have for that setting. Unfortunately it's a general setting right now. You choose which version to use in the event of conflict.. device, Outlook or do nothing. Unless you always do updates on one location, there is no choice but to choose to do nothing.
    (2) If you copy your contacts, calendar etc to a Outlook.Com (Hotmail) account and add that account to MS Outlook and your device (choosing to sync contacts, calendar, etc, you can achieve an even better sync. It will happen automatically (with a reasonable delay to your on the fly changes) and there is no need to use Link to sync again.
    There is an excellent article in the Q10 section here - on a sticky post at the top, which guides you one step at a time.
