Outlook Sync Contacts

I am unable to Sync Contacts between Outlook 2003 and my video Ipod. I am using Itunes 6.0.4.2 on Win XP Pro.
I can sync calendar items. I can also sync Outlook Express contacts. I've just spent 30 minutes on the phone to the Apple support centre in India. They can't solve it. His last suggestion was that I contact Microsoft. He said that Apple did not support syncing with Outlook. I asked hime why this was relaesed in a live version of iTunes!
I wonder if this is a conflict with other sync software I use such as Plaxo and Nokia? Any ideas?

Here's an alternative way to get Contacts on your iPod of the auto sync doesn't work. It doesn't work for me either in 6.0.4.2, but it did in 6.0.1.3
1. Create a New Folder on your Desktop
2. In Outlook Contacts use Ctrl+A to "Select All".
3. On the "Action" menu select "Forward as vCard".
(A new e-mail will open with all of the Contacts as .vcf attachments.)
4. Select all the attachments and drag them to the New Folder you created in step-one.
5. Drag and Drop them from the New Folder into the Contacts directory on your iPod using Windows Explorer.

  • MS Outlook syncing contacts multiple times to iPhone

    My MS Outlook laptop contact list is my primary repository for contact information. On my iPhone contact list, individual contacts may be repeated 3 or more times, often with incomplete or no longer current contact information. Any suggestions on how to resolve?

  • Outlook Sync (Contacts/Calendar) Issues - Progress today........

    Folks,
    I posted another earlier discussion on this topic over the weekend, but since I got my iPhone on Friday, I have probably burned about 20 hours working trying to figure out why I cannot sync my calendar and contacts from Office 2003 "OR" 2007 into my iPhone. When I started this process, 584 of my 1310 contacts did sync, I had NO luck on getting any of calendar items to sync.
    Today we resolved the Contact issue!!! Still working on the calendar issues and if anyone has any further ideas, I am open to it, but it appears for both the contacts and calendar issues, I had corrupt data. You dont know it until encounter it this way.
    Here is what you need to do in order to get the contacts to sync, it worked for me, hopefully it will work for many after me:
    1. Export "ALL" of your contacts to a .CSV (Comma Separated Value for Windows) file. Just export them to your desktop or somewhere easy to find them. As an extra safety net to ensure you dont lose your contacts, back them up also to a .XLS file as well as a .PST file.
    2. Delete "ALL" your contacts out of Outlook. Sync Outlook, especially if your like me and have your contacts and calendar on a corporate exchange server. Be sure you clear your iPhone so there is no contacts on it.
    3. Import the .CSV file to a VCARD file, sync to your coporate server, sync your iTunes and you should now see all your contacts.
    Again, it worked for me and hopefully it works for you.
    Good Luck!!

    Everyone is waiting for this.
    Right now you cannot sync locally between your phone and your desktop. You are forced to upload your contacts to another company's server (read "the cloud") and then download them from whatever device you didn't upload them from.
    Still waiting for this fix please.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

    How can I sync contacts form Outlook 2010 to my iPhone 4S without using iCloud?

  • Sync problem itunes 11.1.5.5 iphone 5 Version 7.1 (11D167) Windows 7 Home premium Outlook 2010 contacts calendar

    I'm no longer able to sync contacts, calendar or notes from my computer's Outlook using iTunes.  For a while I was getting a message that the server could not be reached for resolving conflicts - probably got that message every sync for a month or so and just ignored it.  Then I followed online instructions for dealing with that problem and renamed the file conflicts.syncconflict.  The instructions suggested that this would cause creation of a new conflicts.synconflict file, which it did.  But then the sync just seemed to hang on the contacts portion of syncing, even if I left it for a couple of hours.  So I renamed the old file back to conflicts.synconflict. 
    Now sync doesn't work at all for me if I try to sync any of Outlook contacts, calendar or notes.  If I disable all those, the sync works for things like apps, etc.
    I have already tried:
         checking latest version of iPhone software
         in iTunes, clicking edit / preferences/ devices / reset sync history (not sure whether this button really does anything or not)
         using outlook's scanpst.exe to check for corruption of my main outlook files and most of my ancillary folders
         resetting the iPhone (pressing the button upper right and the circular button at the bottom for several seconds)
         trying the sync after rebooting the computer and not turning on Outlook in the interim
    The present symptom is that the attempted sync just hangs on the syncing contacts stage, and won't complete.  I can cancel the sync, but I can't complete it (unless I uncheck syncing with all the Outlook data).  I'm not getting any error message.
    This is what I'm using:
              iPhone 5
              iTunes version 11.1.5.5
              iPhone software Version 7.1 (11D167)
              Windows 7 Home premium
               Outlook 2010
              Asus G74SX computer
    It is March 27, 2014.
    Suggestions welcome.  I'd like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar.

    Hey Steve,
    I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
    You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
    After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
    Hope this helps with your issue as well.
    Best

  • Outlook with Connector installed will no longer sync Contacts with iPhone

    Within Outlook, once you upgrade your Hotmail account with Outlook Connector, you can no longer sync your iPhone with Outlook Calendar, Contacts or Notes in iTunes. The Outlook Connector update was mandatory to continue to view your Hotmail messages through Outlook.
    Any ideas? Thanks Marv

  • My Outlook 2003 contacts and my calendar will not sync in either direction.

    After updating my iPhone & iTunes software to the latest version my phone will only sync my Outlook  2003 contacts from the phone to my computer and my calendar will not sync in either direction. Can anyone help?  It was all working perfectly before the update!

    Unchecking the birthdays option definitely knocked something loose - but iTunes still had old stuff listed.
    I had good results with removing everything from the ~/Library/Calendars folder and emptying the trash (with iTunes & iCal) both exited. I started iCal and it was back to the default - as if I had never used it - but then for reasons I'm not totally sure of, everything showed back up. My subscriptions all reappeared and I had calendars of the same name as my subscriptions appear in the regular section. I deleted all those and then quit & restarted iCal. When I started iTunes, everything was perfect - now everything appears normally and everything syncs.
    As always, YMMV.
    Good luck!

  • How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

    I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone.  Also how do you manage the groups once on the device?  Seems they can only be selected and not edited.  I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups.  Any ideas?

    Mac solution.  No idea if works on PC:
    Work Around:
    On your mac:
    1.  Open a new email
    2.  Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
    3.  Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
         [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
    4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
    5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
    6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
         [email protected]>,
    7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
         , Jane Doe <[email protected]
    8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
    9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
    10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
    11.  Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
    12.  Click on "Done"
    13.  Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad"  You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
    14.  Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
    15.  All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
    Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
    Easiest:  Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above.  It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
    Rediculously simple once figured out.
    Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails.  Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

  • My outlook 2010 Contact Groups are not visible in iTunes; only syncs main Outlook Contact Folder, others not synching

    I have an iPhone (running the latest device software) and have Outlook 2010 for PC on my desktop.  I have several Outlook 2010 Contact Folders/Groups but when I try to sync with my iPhone I only have the option to sync all of my contacts.
    When I sync this -- the only Outlook folder/group that is synced is my main 'Contacts' folder/group.  All the rest of my folders/groups are not being transferred to my iPhone.  I've had this issue for a few months now -- and though I like the iPhone, my old Blackberry nev er presented this problem when it came to the simple base function of syncing.  Appreciate your help -- as I am out of answers.  Thanks.

  • Can' sync iphone with outlook 2007 contacts

    Not able to sync my iphone to outlook contacts.  Have followed the suggested method regarding the trust center add-ins.

    Is the iPhone syncing everything else in Outlook (calendar, notes)? Has it ever synced contacts? What happened that made you notice it wasn't syncing contacts?
    You can try by resetting the sync history in iTunes first.

  • Outlook Shared Contacts Sync Issue

    **Before i start, i posted this in the Outlook section and was told to post it the Outlook for Exchange section.. So i posted this in the Outlook for Exchange section and the Moderator tells me to post it in the
    Outlook section.. So i'm being thrown in a loop back and forth between two forums.  Please help me either post it in the correct section or help me with my issue.  Links to my posts are at the bottom of this re-post.**
    I have a user who adds emails to the "Notes" section of a shared contact.  It has worked in the past.  She now drags and drops the email into the notes folder, it shows that the email was added, she saves the contact, closes the contact,
    then reopens the contact and the information/email that was added is no longer there.
    Also, when she opens up the contact, on the top of the window it says "This item was not completely updated during the last server synchronization"
    On the bottom of the contact's window it says "Last modified by [email protected] on 11/19/2014"  So it doesn't seem to have updated for about 5 months.  
    The user is on Outlook 2010 - Cached Mode - Windows 7
    We use Exchange 2013
    We have checked her sync issues folder and see two messages pertaining to this shared contact.

    Hi Allen,
    Neither are correct.  They open a contact in their address book and drag the email into the "Notes" section of the contact.  So they do not drag the email into the Notes section of Outlook nor the Contacts section to create a new contact.
    There are no errors.  I have a screenshot with an example contact card but i can't add it because it says i need to verify my account.. I'm not sure how to do that.  I already clicked on the verification email.  For example.  An email
    to me from Bill titled "company announcement" is dragged into the notes section of in Bill's contact card.  This is so that i can go to my contacts, click on bill's card, and see emails from him that are important saved inside his contact card.
     After dragging the email into this location, I hit save and close the contact card.  Usually the email stays there in the notes section but lately when I reopen the contact card, the email that I dropped into the Notes section has disappeared.  Other
    emails are still in the Notes section but new ones just don't stay.
    Just tried doing a Send/Receive All and same issue.  User is in cached mode because they have a large mailbox.  Can try online mode.  Do you know if the Notes section in the contact list has
    a size limit?
