Have tried all ways but still failed to have the contacts sync to E72.
Any kind soul to advise what is there for me to do.

Outlook contacts sync, but calendar wont sync?

All of a sudden my Outlook contacts sync, but calendar wont sync?

Outlook Contacts Sync - Partial SOLUTION to error (-50)

Im using Outlook 2003. Was getting the error (-50) while trying to sync contacts to my iPod. I resolved it by:
- Go to the Outlook Contacts View
- Go to File -> Folder -> Sharing -> Outlook Address Book
- Click the check box for "Show this folders as an e-mail Address Book"
- Apply the settings
You should now be able to sync contacts. However, I could only sync a partial list.
I have not tried calendars.

This works great... but if you find that the check box is greyed out... try this solution first.
Tools>E-Mail accounts>Add new Directory or Address book> Click on Additional Address Books> Chose Outlook Address book> (Then it will tell you to exit outlook and restart outlook> Then you could right click on contacts > Go To Properties > Click on Outlook Address Book (now these options are no longer grayed out) Put your checkmark in Show this folder as an outlook E-Mail address book. and then Click OK.
This DOES NOT solve Calender sync though.

Outlook contacts sync puts some 1st AND last names in iPhone 1st name

After I initially synched all my Outlook contacts onto my new iPhone, some of the names show up on the iPhone as "lastname firstname" (which is what I want), but some show up as "firstname lastname". The problem with this is that they don't sort correctly. I've looked into the Outlook contact, and, in both cases, they have the correct firstname and lastname fields. In the iPhone contact, the entire name (firstname lastname) is in the iPhone firstname field and the lastname field is blank. I can find no other difference between the correctly synched contact and the incorrectly synched contact.
Any suggestions??

The sync messed up somehow. Sync does that sometimes.
If you plug in the phone, but don't sync it yet, I believe there is an option somewhere (labeled Advanced) to overwrite the information on the phone with information from your computer. You might try that, for contacts. Explore all the iPhone panels in iTunes.
Alternatively, delete all your contacts on the phone and re-sync.
Caveat: I'm no sync expert and don't use windows.

Outlook contact sync

The last time I synced with Outlook, a lot of the same contacts came up multiple times -- around 50+ times each. Seems the only way to delete them is individually. I would like to know the following: 1) is there a way to do multiple deletes and 2) what made this happen. Many thanks for help.

There isn't really a way on your BB to delete them individually. There are apps that you can download (like Advance OS & LED) where you can export your contacts to an excel spreadsheet, then you can delete the duplicates there, clear out all the contacts on your BB and Outlook, go into Outlook and re-load your contacts file, and if you have sync turned on, then your contacts should pop into your BB.
...and, unfortunately, I'm not really able to shed light on #2 -- only thing I can think of is maybe you turned contact syncing off, then back on again, and then you got duplicates...sorry, good luck!

IPhone to Outlook Contacts Sync

Would love to be able to have my iPhone Contacts sync to Outlook contacts, NOT the other way around. [The first time I tried it, it wiped out my iPhone contacts and put the old Outlook ones back in.]
Now, I see some improvement in the updated versions of iTunes, but I simply have no idea what the WARNING Screen is trying to tell me -- something about more than 5% of the contacts will be changed, etc, etc...CHANGED WHERE? My iPhone or my Outlook?
It would be so much easier if we had a choice to sync Outlook to iPhone or iPhone to Outlook without wiping either database. Is that too difficult to do?
Anyone have a solution? Thanks!

The sync process for contacts with the supported application on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process.
If the supported application on your computer has contact info and your iPhone doesn't, the contact info with the supported application on your computer will be transferred to your iPhone with the first sync and be kept synchronized afterwards with following syncs.
If the supported application on your computer does not include any contact info and your iPhone does, your iPhone will be erased of all contacts with the first sync.
If the supported application on your computer includes contact info and you have manually added contacts to your iPhone, you should be provided a merge prompt with the first sync, which should be selected. After the initial sync and merge, contacts will be kept synchronized with following syncs.
iTunes includes an option to replace contacts on your iPhone with the contacts in the supported application on your computer. After doing this, contacts will be kept synchronized with following syncs. There is no option to replace contacts in the supported application on your computer with your iPhone contacts.

One way Outlook Contacts sync

Can Outlook contacts be synced to the iPhone only (one way)? I do not want iPhone contacts uploaded to the iPhone.

Hey PAWA33,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues syncing iCloud contacts with Outlook. The following resource may provide a solution:

I found a temp solution for outlook contact sync

I along with many 5G ipod users are unable to get itunes to sync their microsoft outlook contacts. I found a way to transfer all your contacts fairly quickly by exporting them as vtf contact cards.
What you do, is select all the contacts in outlook you wish to export using shift or control clicks, right click on one, then under "send full contact", click on "In Internet Format (vCard)"
This will open up a separate window that will send all those contacts as attachments in an email. All you need to do is right click on one of the attachments, and choose select all, then right click and choose copy. You can then just paste the files into your contacts folder when your ipod is enabled for disk use.
I know this far from a permanent solution, but until apple can get it's act together and make it properly sync contacts, this will work for me.
Keep in mind I did this with office 2007 beta. It may be slightly different for other versions, so you may have to play around with it a little.
I hope this helps!

At the risk of sounding sarcastic, a good solution is to use a room where you're not going to get the glare. Something like editing photographs really needs a location where you can properly see and work with colours and contrasts. Your problem is not your Mac, it's your location!

Outlook contact sync changes email properties!!! How to stop that?

Hi,
when you modify or add a new contact on the iPhone, once you synch it with Outlook (2007 in my case), all iPhone contact emails properties are changed in outlook.
I have set Outlook to default to send email in HTML, not in RTF:
Tools->Options->Mail Format->Internet Format-> Convert to HTML Format
This means it won't send RTF mails at all, first converting them to HTML messages.
Outlook "offers" a way to override this setting directly in the contact form.
If you open a contact in Outlook "Contacts" view, then double-click its email address. You get a dialog box called "E-mail Properties".
By default, it will use "Let Outlook decide the best sending format" as the "internet format" mode. This comes from the default we have set above.
Problem is that each contact modified in the iPhone resets this "Internet format" for that particular contact to "Send using Outlook Rich Text Format".
This is ways stupid since when you send a formatted email to someone who doesn't have Outlook, then (s)he gets a plain text email and an attached "winmail.dat" file that is binary and containing the formatting and attachments, built-in pictures, etc...
This file is recognized only by Outlook and can't be read if you don't have outlook or a utility to decode those files.
Can Apple fix this and keep the "Internet format" settings as it is in Outlook?
And if you create a new contact on the iPhone, then, when synching, use Outlook's default Internet format?
Is there a workaround to this annoying problem?
I know that Outlook is tricky, not the iPhone or iTunes, but we have to live with it.
Thanks for any help

IPhone/Outlook Contacts sync acting strangely

Hi everyone. I have something weird happening in Outlook that wasn't happening before getting a new iPhone (my first iPhone ever). I had my Outlook Contacts setup so that when I create a new contact (in Outlook) and I enter the contacts name the "file as" field shows lastname, firstname. This worked fine until I began using my iPhone. Now when I create a new contact in Outlook the "file as" field shows firstname, lastname instead of lastname, firstname even though it is setup correctly in Outlook properties. Has anyone seen this before?

SOLVED - I went into his Contacts Options (Tools | Options | Contact Options) and simply changed the Default Full Name Order from Last Frist to First (Middle) Last and that did the trick!

E75 / Ovi and contact sync with Hotmail / other ac...

Please please help!
I'm needing to get the contacts from my E75 / Ovi back up to sync with a non-Outlook, Windows-based email account.....
Can ANYONE please help..?!?!?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm looking to back the contacts up into something like Hotmail. That is the account I currently use, but can register a new email account with a different host, if there is no possibility to back-up the E75 with Hotmail. I can't use Outlook though (don't have it).
I've tried using vCards, as the Ovi suite suggests, by starting a new email in Hotmail then copying details from Ovi into the email:
If I try this by drag and drop, it is entered as a .vcf as a link to a file on my C drive. When I open this, however, I can't do anything with the link.
If I choose the 'Windows Contacts' option on the Device Sync menu, and attach a contact as a separate file from my C drive,I have two problems.... While all the names appear, only 5% of the details associated show (even though they are stored in the same way on the phones memory). Even then, when I open the file on the email, I can't find a way to import it into Hotmail....

Outlook contacts synced from Safari?

How do I stop this? I really do not want or need these contacts on my phone, and I want to make sure they stay off once I delete them all. Please help

9550 Outlook Contact sync

I am trying to sync organizer data with MS Outlook and cannot select either "Contacts" or "Calendar" on the Desktop Software Organizer tab...it says "syncing wirelessly"...please help me to turn this on...
Really important that someone at RIM answer this...have seen other posts and need answer today...

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
First, check here (on your BB):
Homescreen > Calendar >  > Options > (select your calendar...may be "Default")
Homescreeen > Contacts >  > Options > (select your contact list...may be "Default")
In those screens will be a selection for Wireless Synchronization...what does it say?
If you are not on BES and are not using one of the BIS-supported OTA calendar/contact synch services, then that should be "Off" or perhaps "Not Available"...it definitely should not be "On" or anything similar.
Then try again in the Desktop Software to configure wired synchronization.
Good luck!
