Some contacts missing on both iPhone and Outlook since installing iOS 7.1

I have an iPhone 5S which I successfully sync to Outlook 2007 using iCloud, until recently when I upgraded to iOS 7.1. Most contacts are still there on both my PC and iPhone, but as luck would have it, the ones missing are mostly the important ones for my business. I have tried turning OFF and then ON the settings in both iCloud on my PC and also on my iPhone - as I have often seen suggested for this type of problem - but without any success. I have frequently backed-up but they do not appear anywhere and, strangely, they are random from within the contacts list. Can anyone please advise a method of possibly restoring them? Thanks in advance.

Try installing Microsoft Word for iPad and using that instead. It is free to use as a reader and if you want to use with all its editing capabilities, you can pay the Office365 license.

  • After syncing, lost almost all contacts (except 12) on iPhone and Outlook

    I did a sync on Thursday and I lost almost all contacts (except 12 contacts) on both iPhone and Outlook. Only 6 of remaining 12 contacts were new entries since last syncing. So, some old contacts stays and most of got ereased. I tried to search for possible solutions with no luck. I got my iPhone in Asia to be able to have Chinese character input. I am traveling now and it looks like I dont' have a backup file of my outlook.
    Is there a way to retrive the contact data from the iPhone Hard Drive?
    Need help ASAP.

    Not sure what happened here, but I'm not aware of an iTunes prompt to sync an iPhone that is connected. Each iPhone includes a preference setting to automatically sync with iTunes when connected - which I recommend turning off. This is selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. iTunes includes a preference setting to not automatically sync and iPod or iPhone when connected. This is a personal choice, but I prefer manually syncing, or syncing when I want to in case I want to make any changes before my iPhone is synced.
    I assume your Father does not maintain a backup of his Address Book data on his Mac, or any other important data? The Address Book application includes a simple and quick backup Address Book option which is important to use when syncing any device, but is important regardless in case a problem arises with the Address Book database.
    On your Father's Mac, with the Address Book application quit, go to Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
    Within the Address Book folder, move the AddressBook.data file to the Desktop.
    Change the name of the AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data or remove the .previous extension from the file name so it is AddressBook.data only.
    Cross your fingers and launch the Address Book application. If the Address Book data is not restored, and your Father does not have a backup of his Address Book data, the data is lost.

  • Receiving mail on both iphone and outlook

    Setting up my mail accounts on iphone3 and when mail is being received on my iphone it does not appear in my outlook aswell and vice versa, how do I receive same mail on both iphone and outlook?

    Set it up as IMAP or configure it so that, while using POP, it retains a copy of the message on the server so that it can be downloaded again on multiple clients.

  • Problems with synching calendars between iPhone and Outlook 2007 on Windows

    I recently purchased a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64. It was an English version, but since it is ultimate I downloaded and changed it to Danish - so far so good...
    I have synch'ed between outlook and iPhone on a Vista platform without problems, but now on windows 7 when I sync - the result is, that on my iPhone the meetings, work schedules and birthdays I have in my calendar is shown a day too soon!!
    I have checked that both iPhone and Outlook start the week on Mondays, so that is not an issue - I have updated my iPhone to the newest software with out any luck - so now I try and write here instead - hopefully someone can help me...
    thanks in advance

    yes they were set to the same timezone - which puzzled me a lot...
    I lost a lot of sleep, but I can now say that I have solved the problem...
    What I did was, that I un-installed microsoft office (desperate I know!) - then ran a sync with the iPhone choosing to overwrite the Calendar in the phone - as there was no calendar present - it deleted what was on the phone. Then I re-installed Microsoft office, by doing that, I didn't loose anything because the user files was still present including mail setting etc. - resynced the iPhone - and now it works...
    Just can't figure out what went wrong in the first place...
    thank you for your answer

  • Synchronizing my contacts between iPhone and Outlook

    I currently synchronize my calendars between my iPhone and Outlook via the USB connection between my computer and the phone. I tried to do the calendar synchronization through the iCloud, as that looked really slick, but I didn't like some of the side effects, so I went back to synchronizing directly between my computer and my phone. It seems like to synchronize the contacts, the only option is to use iCloud, but I don't know if I can do that only for the contacts and not have my calendar involved? Any suggestions on how I do this?

    Hello there, kenw100.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up how to turn iCloud features on and off on your iOS device:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn iCloud features on or off
    Depending on which device’s settings you want to change, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn on or off iCloud features.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    Backup then restore the device...
    If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
    Would you know how to resolve this issue?
    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

    My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

    All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
    the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.

  • Calendar times do not match between iphone and outlook

    I have an iPhone 4S, at work I use a PC and Outlook.  I have both my PC and my iPhone on the same time zone.  If I set an appointment in either calendar the time gets switched in the other.  For example:  I set an appointment in my iphone calendar for 11am.  One my outlook calendar it shows the same appointment at 10am.  Both systems are set to the same time zone, what gives?  How do I fix this?
    Another thing I should add is I am in Saskatchewan Canada.  We do not switch time for daylight savings in March an November. So when the time switched in November everthing works great, it is only between March and November whe this problem arrises.  Saskatchewan is a setting in timezones for bothe the iphone and outlook so I don't think this should matter.  Unless one of the companies does not know Saskatchewan does not change times.
    Any suggestions?

    Apple puts Saskatchewan into Central Standard Time, which isn't correct.  Then when it syncs to Outlook, Outlook puts the appointment into the CST time zone, instead of the Saskatchewan -6 time zone.  The problem is Apple's iCloud sending the wrong information to Outlook.
    Need a fix for this please.

  • My contacts sync on my iPhone and iPad but my calendars don't m?..

    My contacts sync with my iPhone and iPad I cannot get my calendars to sync??

    I don't know how you have your sync set up configured but ....
    Connect your iPad to the PC and launch iTunes if it doesn't start on it's own.
    If you auto sync, let the sync process complete but do not disconnect the iPad when it's done syncing.
    Click on your iPad name on the left sidebar under the Devices heading
    Click on the Info Tab at the top on the right side of the iTunes window
    Click on Sync ... Calendars.
    Click on All Calendars or choose the ones that you want to sync.
    Click Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes Window.
    This article should provide more insight on some other possibilites as well.

  • Emails on iPhone and Outlook

    I have a virgin email account and have set up my iphone to receive these emails. However I'm having problems getting these emails to go to both my iPhone and Outlook on my computer. Sometimes it works fine and I'll find the same email on both devices, however sometimes it will only make it to my iPhone and sometimes only to Outlook. The email is never deleted off the server whichever (or both) device it ends up on.
    My settings are:
    Host Name: mail.virgin.net
    SMTP: smtp.virgin.net
    SSL: On
    Server Port: 25
    Advanced
    SSL: On
    Delete From Server: Never
    Server Port: 995
    Does anyone know how I can ensure that my emails make it to Outlook even when they also make it to my iPhone?
    Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

  • Downloading from Gmail to both iPhone and Outllok 2003

    Just got my wife an iPhone and have a problem getting emails from her Gmail account to go to both the iPhone and Outlook 2003 running on her Dell.
    Here is the hierarchy of "grabs" off the Gmail server:
    iPhone ON, Outlook OFF - email goes to iPhone, then to Outlook when Outlook is turned on.
    iPhone ON, Outlook ON - email goes to Outlook only, never makes it to iPhone.
    Settings - on Outlook, POP, leave copy on server; on Gmail, POP and IMAP both activated, leave copy on server. iPhone tried using both POP and IMAP to retrieve Gmail mesages.
    Striking out after looking at all the info I have found on iPhone and on Gmail forums. The current low tech solution is to turn off Outlook when we want messages to be received on the iPhone.
    Would appreciate any suggestions.

    With a POP account, only one email client can access the incoming mail server at a time.
    If Outlook is checking the incoming mail server for new messages and/or downloading new messages received at the incoming mail server while the iPhone's Mail client does the same, the incoming mail server will be temporarily locked preventing the iPhone's Mail client from doing so and vice versa.
    This is not a problem with an IMAP account, and a Gmail account can be accessed as an IMAP account or a POP account.
    I suggest creating/accessing the account as an IMAP account with Outlook and the same with the iPhone's Mail client, which provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes with the account synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    Gmail provides the recommended account settings for accessing the account as an IMAP account with Outlook and with the iPhone's Mail client.
