Problem syncing with Outlook - Please help

I have two Outlook profiles (mine and my wife's) on my computer. How can I make my iPhone sync with the correct one? Right now it will only pull my wife's contacts, when I want it to sync mine instead. Any assistance you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

I use both Outlook (on XP) and just got an iphone for my wife's Powerbook. In looking in outlook help one thought I had is are all user's (ie your wife) logged off of windows? In other words making your profile the only active choice when syncing? To take it a step further try rebooting and only logging in your profile. If this doesn't help try getting a hold of tech support with iphone.
Best,
Joseph

Problems syncing with Outlook after latest update to iphone

I just updated my iphone 4 with IOS 7 and now it won't sync with Outlook. I would greatly appreciate help in solving this issue.

I am having the same problem. I have edited my contacts in outlook and these edits are not being picked up on the iphone. Ill give you an example. I have removed all fax numbers in all of my contacts on my pc, in outlook. took me AGES. then I plugged my iphone in and two things happened (1) no changes were made to the contact on the iphone to mirror what i had changed in outlook (2) it seems as tho the fax numbers which were all stored on the phone are now all back in my outlook on my pc!
how do i make it so that when u sync NOTHING from my iphone goes onto my PC but only what i have changed on my PC goes onto my iphone???

Iphone deleted all phone numbers when synced with Exchange, Please Help!!

We recently received new Iphones for the Administrative staff and thought that like other Smartphones we've used in the past that syncing with Exchange would be a breeze. After doing a bit of research everything pointed towards it being a very simple process, this is the process I followed:
Open up Itunes with Iphone connected
Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
Click the "Info" tab
In the Contacts section, check "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook"
Click "All Contacts"
Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
Click "Merge", so that your contacts on your iPhone are preserved
This seemed to work but there is one major problem, all of the contacts on the Iphone and the ones imported into Outlook no longer have any phone numbers associated to them. The contacts were all synced into Outlook/Exchange no problem with their respective emails but with no phone numbers at all. Unfortunately the computer which had the backup of this Iphone was recently decommissioned so I have no backup of the phone in its previous state.
Is there any way to recover the old phone numbers/contacts on the phone without having a backup of it in its previous state? I have tried the "Import Sim Contacts" button in the settings on the phone but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. There are over 100 contacts on this particular phone, some of which the phone numbers will be very difficult to retrieve again.
I have to say that I'm not very impressed that the most popular smartphone out there can't even sync with the largest email platform in the enterprise world properly. If anybody can help me retrieve those numbers some how I would be extremely appreciative.

This is the first I have heard of it... but I'm only one person.

Does the Iphone actually support 2-way sync with Outlook properly or will it erase all of the numbers on the phone every time?
If you are syncing directly with Outlook, there are options in iTunes to determine which set of contacts takes priority when duplicates are found. Personally I do not use this. I have my device set up to sync directly with the exchange server so all changes are made directly on the server.
Personally I would recommend against using Outlook as the intermediary. You will get much more consistent and reliable results if the iPhone syncs directly with the exchange server and no worries if the end user has not synced the device in days/weeks/months.

Syncing iphone with Outlook, please help

I have been with Apple support on the phone, but so far they can't help me. my contacts sync to Outlook Express(old version from when I used to have dial up) but the calendar (Outlook 2003) doesn't sync either way..from pc to phone or phone to pc. Does anyone have a clue why it's not working for me? I think there is a conflict with having both Outlook Express and Outlook... but I don't know how to remove Outlook Express... it's not listed in the Add/Remove list. Could some really savvy techie help me? Thanks for listening!
dell Windows XP

hey walter25 thanks for the info... I ran through that link and of course Outlook Express cannot be deleted without a lot of hassle... I am not that tech savvy. But I really feel the iphone software is recognizing outlook express and not outlook... and that's why it synchs contacts to express and my calendars don't sync because express has no calendar... I would greatly appreciate and more thoughts you have on this problem....jojoanie

Problems syncing with Outlook 2007

Nevermind! It magically started working just a second ago!
I've had this problem before, but the old solution does not work this time...
I got a new computer at work and I'm trying to sync my Outlook 2007 calendar. I reinstalled DM software (5.0) and hooked my phone up, set up the options in synchronization, and then when I ask it to sync, it does nothing. It says "Processing" and then it just stops. No error messages, no other windows, nothing. Just right back to the menu.
Nothing changed with the phone, other than it updated some of the phone's applications when I connected the phone. The calendar is not set to Facebook or anything like that.

Problems Syncing with Outlook and Calendar

We are trying to roll out outlook 2007 together with outlook connector 7.2u1 at patch level 125361-03. Installation goes ok. But we have a major problem with Calendars.
Having used Sun Mail & Calendar for years our users subscribe to a number of calendars, these show up in outlook in the left hand pane and are selectable to view, which syncs the calendar into outlook - all well and good.
Now the major problem, when syncing another persons calendar to view availability etc, all the reminders get sent to the user viewing the calendar as well as going to the owner - where we have users that subscribe to around 20-30 calendars thats alot of other peoples reminders that pop up on the screen !
Any help greatfully received.

ICal not syncing with Outlook correctly - Help needed

Hi there,
I have just bought an iPhone 4S (last week), and I've decided to set up iCloud so that it syncs my calendars and contacts between my phone, my iMac, and my Macbook.
I am running Outlook Home 2011 for Mac, and I have it working so that iCal and Address Book can read contacts and calendar entries from Outlook, but for some reason it won't work in return.
I want to be able to update something on my phone, that to in turn update my iCal/Address Book on my macs, and that in turn to update Outlook. That is the only step I can't seem to get working. My phone will update iCal, but it won't then push that update to Outlook for some reason.
Any ideas why this would be? As I say, I can create an event in Outlook and almost immediately view it on my phone, but when creating an event on my phone, nothing shows up in Outlook?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Hi thomohawk85
If your Office 2011 is under warranty just call teh Microsoft Support desk. During a 45 minute call they explained tha there were problems with set up that MS are now getting a handle on and took me through routines (involving multiple reboots andd deletions of pst file etc) whih result now in perfect sync between Outlook and iCal/Address Book. One caveat - I cannot now use iCloud as this creates an alternative iCal/Address Book account and will delete any entries in Outlook.

My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
Here's some other option for Windows users.
First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

New Contacts on the Phone, and problem syncing with Outlook.

I have an iPhone4 with the iOS5 software. I recently did a sync with my phone (regular sync using iTunes and not iCloud). I had added some new contacts to my phone, but after the sync was complete, the contact was removed from my phone. I assume because it was not added to my Outlook contacts first. Is there a setting in iTunes that will add contacts that are only on my phone to my Outlook contacts? I don't want to have to keep adding all my contacts in two places just so I have them as a backup.

Hi and Welcome to the forums..
Have you tried a 'One way Sync' coming from the device to the computer only?
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.

If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

Syncing with iTunes, please help!

I cannot for the life of me get my iPhone to sync with iTunes... I recently had to restore my computer completely, and as a result downloaded the new iTunes, as everything on my computer was wiped out. I also changed from one account to another on my phone at around the same time, and the phone number changed. I don't know if either of these could affect syncing or not. I have tried ALL iTunes suggested troubleshooting, down to uninstalling EVERYTHING to do with iTunes and reinstalling it. Nothing is working, please please help! I'm so frustrated.

Is your computer authorized? Is your phone recognized in itunes? If yes, did you restore your phone? Can you transfer your purchases from the phone to the computer?

If your phone is not recognized, did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
