Outlook sync: only business contacts?

Is it possible to pick and choose which contacts to sync with Outlook?
For example, I'd like all of my contacts on my phone, but only some of them (business contacts) synced with Outlook here at work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

ok, details will help here.
You're on a personal BIS account or a corporate BES enterprise email account?

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4?

Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4? Or do I have to set up my iPhone 5 by using my iPhone 4 backup (I'd rather not)?

Contacts are not stored in a backup, so a restore will not bring them in. Contacts, along with all the other Apple databases (log into icloud.com with a browser and look at the various pages - this is what I call the Apple databases) are contained in their own locations on the servers. You should be able to take a new device, go to Settings>iCloud, log in to the icloud account, then turn on the services (e.g. contacts) you want to sync. They will then be synced to the device. That has nothing to do with a restore and with the old iphone 4. As for apps, their listing and locations on the screens are stored in a backup. If you don't restore, then go to the itunes app store, look under Purchased Apps and download them again.

HT1386 how can i sync only my contacts thru my computer but everything else with icloud

I have XP, how can I sync only my contacts thru my computer (with Itunes) but keep everything on Icloud backup?

1st make sure that iTunes will not sync iPhone automatically
on iTunes go to Edit>preferences> Devices > check "prevent iDevice from syncing automatically"
>connect iPhone to PC
> on iTunes click your iPhone's name
> then untick everything you don't want to be synced line music,movies,apps,calendars, mails
leave 'sync contacts' ticked
then you should be fine

Can iSync sync only selected contacts?

I want to use iSync with my new cell phone, but my address book on my Mac is much larger than on my phone.
I don't want to include everyone on my Mac on my phone.
Is there any way to tell iSync to sync only selected contacts or contact groups?
Thanks,
David

Click on your phones icon in iSync, and choose which groups to sync from the list that appears. Edit the groups in Address Book.

Exchange vs. Outlook Sync for Calendar/Contacts

I currently sync my iPhone with Outlook 2007 calendar and contacts, and (with the notable exception of the 9.1 fiasco) it has been great.
This week, they migrated us to an Exchange server. I'm still syncing via USB (everything stayed with the same name in Outlook, so iTunes was fine) but am considering switching to Exchange for contacts and calendar (I don't use the email address on the exchange server on my iPhone - long story).
What I was hoping for is to find someone who has more familiarity with Exchange on iPhone to answer a few questions.
1. If I setup Exchange on the iPhone, that means contact/calendar changes made in Outlook (to the exchange account) automatically update on the iPhone, right? Can I control how often this update happens? Does it use heavy data amounts every time, or just the updates? (In other words, if I add a phone number to a contact, does it send my whole contact list, or just that contact?)
2. Is there any harm in leaving iTunes configured to sync to Outlook? Logically, it's syncing the same data (like I said, the pointers are to the exchange items), so I can't see if there's a reason to remove it. But at the same time, I don't want to mess up my contacts/calendar by leaving it on.
Any help or advice anyone can offer would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think I can answer your first question (assuming you're on iOS 4.0.1 like me
When using Exchange ActiveSync on the iPhone, you can independently set which of the following you want to sync: Mail, Contacts, Calendars. This means you could choose to sync mail and calendars, but not contacts (or any other combination of 1, 2, or all 3 services).
I have all 3 set to sync, and I find that any change I make to my inbox, contacts, or calendar, in either Outlook 2007 or on the phone itself, is generally synced the other direction within 30 seconds (sometimes as fast as 5 or 10 seconds). While I haven't done a controlled test of the data transmitted for each sync, I would be very surprised if it sends anything other than the actual changes.
So far, my experience with ActiveSync on the iPhone (for all of 2 weeks) has been quite positive. I can only think of 2 problems:
1. When a meeting reminder displays on the phone, it gives me all 3 buttons (Accept, Reject, or Maybe) even though I had already accepted the invitation when I first added the meeting to my calendar.
2. When adding an event to the calendar on the iPhone, it always sets the status to "Busy", even if I marked it as Free. I have to edit the event and re-save to get the status corrected.
Hope this helps.

Synching Contacts for Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager

Is there anyway to get the ipod Nano to sync with a business contact manager contacts list.
When I choose to sync it doesn't show me any groups or contact lists. It does sync my normal contacts but not my business contacts in business contact manager. DOes anyone know if Ipodsync will do this?

From Business Contacts, you can drag a business contact and drop it on the contacts database. This creates a copy of the business contact in the traditional Outlook Contacts Folder which will synch to your BlackBerry. It's manual and not a perfect solution but it works.

Is there a way to sync only existing contacts with my facebook friends so I don't gain any unwanted people?

I want to sync only my existing contacts, and not gain all of my facebook friends. Is it possible?

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

Sync only selected contact groups via Bluetooth to Mercedes Benz

Hi
I understand that it is possible to create "groups" of contacts in the address book program on my MacBook Pro and then choose to sync either all or just selected groups to my iphone.
If I do sync all of these groups to my iphone (which I want) is it then possible to sync only "one" group (just the essential numbers) to my Mercedes via bluetooth?
Thanks
Gregg

I am wondering the same thing.
I have the iPhone and a Mercedes Benz, with the Bluetooth v60 Puck. The car will only receive 100 contacts but I have no way of knowing which 100 will be uploaded.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

HT1386 Cannot sync only my contacts what can be the cause

connecting my I Phone via USB it sync OK except my contacts that cannot be sync giving message
"ITune could not sync contacts to the I Phone because an error occured while sending data from the I Phone "
What can be the reason.
Thanks
Menachem

Does the error give you a number? This a Mac or Windows PC? Does the computer, if Windows, use Outlook for it's contacts? Too many variables to change the answer. You need to give more details.
Try another route and sync contacts through iCloud.

Office 365 Outlook 2013 and Business Contact Manager Performance issues

I have some slowness with Outlook 365 at times. Most of the times, Outlook will have to restart. I use Business Contact
Manager so I cannot turn off Exchange Cache. Are there some steps I can follow to troubleshoot? The problems started 7 days ago and seem to be getting worse.

Hi,
The Outlook slowness problem can be caused by many factors, one common cause is some 3rd-party add-ins. We can troubleshoot in Outlook Safe Mode first:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We can also check the OST file size since large .ost files can also slow the performance of Outlook.
Make sure that offline OST file in Outlook isn't too large. A large OST file may indicate corruption or fragmentation of the file. This can affect performance.
In Outlook, right-click the mailbox in the navigation pane, and then click
Properties.
Click Folder Size, and then note the Total size value on the
Local Data tab.
Open the Outlook system folder by opening the following folder path, depending on the operating system:
Windows 7 or Windows Vista: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Windows XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Note the size of the OST file for the user’s Outlook profile. If the OST file is more than 3 to 4 gigabytes (GB) larger than the
Total size value, the file may be corrupted or fragmented. Close Outlook, rename the OST file, and then reopen Outlook to re-create the OST file.
