It may be the version of outlook that you are using. I have no difficulty syncing with outlook 2003.
Good luck...

Last night I tried to sync my Iphone 3GS to my laptap because I had a lot of new music. What happened was, at first I lost all my music, photos, and all my contacts (all phone numbers). I was able to retrieve some music, not the new ones, some photos but not all, and none of my contacts. What did I do wrong and how do I get my songs/contacts/photos back.
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -

My Ipad2 has a message: Ipad disabled connect to itunes. The trouble is I am out of the US now and cant connect to my my home mac or any computer it is synced with. What can I do? I cant even access the serial number to contact apple. Help!
Call Apple anyway. If the device was ever registered with then they will have the serial # on file and can look you up by other info such as your name or phone number.
To re-enable an iPad any computer with iTunes should work. However, if your data was not backed up to iCloud you will not be able to access it until you get back to your home computer. -

New to Mac (at 60+ years] and enjoying it. But one non-Apple device want to hold on to is Blackberry 9900. I can sync contacts, tasks - but NOT Calender. I get message telling me to set up an iCal. I have Google Calendar and happy to use that as 'hub' as it were, if that does job. Syncing my Air and smartphone is important - help please?
Another weird thing related to above question....when I first plugged in the itouch, it asked if I wanted to update the software and I did. Then it went into restore. Then the itouch itself went to a grey screen and asked me questions such as did I want to back up to icloud, use find my itouch, etc. plus it wanted my Apple sign in. I did all that. Once the itouch came on, I noticed that my daughter's music and photos were gone. So that was all good. But then at some point later when I was trying to figure out how to sync, I noticed another notice from Apple on my computer asking if I wanted to update. I assumed that was for my computer not the itouch this time. I did that. Then the itouch was back to the grey tones and the same sign in questions. Now my daughter's photos are back on it but not her music. When I click Sync, nothing happens as far as loading the music. Could this be that my music library is too big for the memory? Wouldn't it tell me that rather than just not do it? As you can see, I am very confused.

My friend C. is a lovely lady who needs the contacts on her phone to sync, but no other capacity. She cares not for email on her phone, nor texting.
Trying to find out which of the phones listed where I'm posting this question is proving difficult.
Thanks! Please note which OS will work (any recent one is fine - I think she's on 10.4, but I'm listing this as 10.6)Scroll down to the bottom of that support article and you'll see a table showing that all of the phones listed sync contacts.
However, that list is rather old, so finding a listed phone still on sale will be tricky. -
How to keep Sync contacts on Mavericks 10.9, iClould, gmail, iPhone IOS 7?
Have you ever happened?
Basically I don't want to lose time coping and pasting, doing much work to do something simple. I want to have sync my contacts from gmail account with iCloud account.
I used to have Lion Mac OS 10.7.4 which was allowing me sync my contacts from gmail into my macbook contacts. What was really beautiful because if I’d add a new contact automatically was updated into my gmail account and by default was updated into my iCloud account (1) which it’s really important in an Apple device or (2) just to have a back up in your iCloud account.
1. If I use iCloud to save every contact, such as phone numbers, email address, etc.. (with the information that I have read) It'd be default to write emails in gmail if I am in my macbook or a pc from school, I mean it's gonna be a lot of work. , because the contacts will be in iCloud .
2. But also if I restore, lost, sell my iPhone and I buy a new one it'll be easier if I just type my Apple ID and there's gonna be my all contacts.
However now I have got Mavericks 10.9.1 which is currently not allowing sync contact in this way, this is a big problem for me I use a lot google mail and Apple things as well. I have been making a small research about but nothing. Can you give me your opinion or solve my problem?You can sync your Google contacts with the app,Contacts but you cannot sync between iCloud contacts and Google contacts. Just like your email does not sync between account, but to the application. It's always been that way.
If you want to email someone from your Gmail account but their address is only in iCloud, this is not a problem as Mail uses all addresses in Contacts. -
I can't see the option for yahoo in the sync contacts section of i tunes
when I go into i tunes (with my iphone 4S contected to my pc - and click on the info tab - I can see the 'sync contacts with' option - the drop down box to the right of this offers me the options to sync with - outlook, google contacts & windows contacts. it does not offer me the option to sync with yahoo - which is my email account - how can i add yahoo to this drop down box of options?
Hi GillAH12
I have observed the same as you have where I no longer see the option to sync with Yahoo contacts when I access itunes via my PC. I currently have an iPhon4s with latest iOS 6.0.1.
I know for a fact prior to what I see now, I never saw a choice of "Google contacts" to sync but the other choices of "Outlook" and Windows Address Book" may have always been in the drop down list. The only thing I could thing of as to why the choice of Google contacts appears there is because I logged onto Google with a shared account (created by someone else) that I use with my other colleagues for a Tech volunteer org I belong too that may have a small list of contacts from our group.
As you mentioned in your initial post on 11/27/12 (at 4:53 pm), I too only have Yahoo as my main email contact where I maintain my contacts on my PC and other than iCloud (turned off for contacts and mail) in my iPhone setting, I only have Yahoo listed as my other account (and ALL settings are turned ON for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and Notes)
Chris,
You mention to GillAH12 (in your reply on Nov 27, 2012 5:11 PM) that
" Computer contacts sync to Yahoo. Phone contacts sync to Yahoo. You don't sync yahoo contacts on phone to computer or vice-versa. "
But the last time I had syncing issues between my iPhone contacts to my Yahoo contacts (that I troubleshooted with a Genius tech at an Apple Store) unless he was wrong, he said once you add your Yahoo account in your iPhone settings, and turn on your Contacts, he said your iPhone should now display your yahoo contacts (which they did) and I'm almost sure (but not 100%) that he said all subsequent updates/additions to my contacts on your iPhone should be synced and reflected in my Yahoo contact list on my PC and vice-versa from my Yahoo contacts on my PC to my iPhone. Not lately, but I have seen my Yahoo contacts get updated after I added a new or updated an existing contact on my iPhone
You are saying that's not the case and if not, whom (i.e with Apple support or some other Apple user) did you confirm that info with?
Before I even visited the Apple Store, since I bought my iPhone at Verizon, i intially spent several hours with a Verizon tech to try and resolve (but they were unsuccessful) my Yahoo contact sync issues, before they suggested I go to an Apple Store. As myself and GillAH12 (and I'm sure others have observed), it's very frustrating to get mixed answers from different Apple techs and it's sad us Apple users have to rely on our testing and troubleshooting skills to help each other.

This is complex. Until today we had one iMac with two user accounts - one for me and the other for my wife. We sync'd our calendars and contacts between our two user accounts using my iCloud account, thereby keeping our schedules coordinated and our contacts information always the same between us. Also, as I had an iPhone, I sync'd my phone with my iCloud account, thereby keeping the contacts and calendars in the two user accounts on the iMac AND my iPhone sync'd. (I also sync'd other things, like Notes and Mail and Safari settings, between my iPhone and my user account on the iMac, but my wife did not want to be burdened with all my emails showing up in her email account and I wasn't interested in hers, etc., so we didn't sync anything between us other than calendars and contacts.)
We've finally bought my wife an iPhone and set up an iCloud account for her. And of course she now wants to sync several items from HER account on our iMac to HER iPhone, but I don't want them, just as she doesn't want all of my other stuff. But we still want our mutual calendars and contacts to sync to HER new iPhone, just like they already do to mine. But I can't figure out how to CHANGE her iMac user account from using MY iCloud account on the iMac to using HER new iCloud account, and then having HER iCloud account speak to MY iCloud account but share JUST our calendars and contacts.
Originally I tried a workaround by simply having her iPhone log into my iCloud account. That works great for the calendars and the contacts. But...she can't sync anything else from her iMac account to her new iPhone because she's presently "forced" to use my iCloud account. And neither of us want to sync our other things to each other's iMac accounts or iPhones. Also as we're both using my iCloud account, in things like the Find My iPhone app, the Cloud is seeking two phones labeled with my name and none with her's. So we definitely don't want this as the set-up and communications network between our devices.
We want to set up our users on the iMac to sync to our SEPARATE AND DIFFERENT iCloud accounts and then have those iCloud accounts sync calendars and contacts (ONLY) between themselves, and then push that data to our separate iPhones (or the other way, from either of our iPhones to the individual accounts on our iMac and the other person's iPhone). Does this description make sense to you? I've diagramed it nicely using Keynote, but even thiough I can draw it, I can't figure out how to set up and configure all the devices to make it work. If you would like me to send the Keynote slides (just two of them - the current and desired configurations - please send your email address to me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to forward it to you.
If anyone can help me set this up I'd be most appreciative! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all readers in this community!BobT.
I had the same problem, and decided to look into it last night.
First of all, the solution I would like to have is for Apple to allow for selection of iCloud accounts per application, i.e. Contacts to one, Photo Stream to another. I believe this would be the most straight forward solution for the problem we are facing.
Since this is not an option I came up with a workaround. I was most interested in solving this for Contacts, so this is what I tested for. Now I have all 3 devices with the same contacts.
1) Turn off iCloud for Contacts on all devices. On the device that has the Contacts list that you would like to propagate to all others select to keep the contacts, and on the others select not to keep them.
Note that the current backups still exist on iCloud, so in case something goes wrong you can still turn the iCloud for Contacts back on to get your current Contacts back.
2) In iTunes, sync All Contacts with the phones, starting with the one with the Contacts content you chose to keep.
From this point on, the 3 devices should sync contacts with each other.
This, of course, will stop your iCloud backups of Contacts, but I don't think this is really needed. You are already storing copies of your Conacts on 3 devices, which for good parts of the day are likely not all co-located. You also potentially have Time Machine backups turned on, which would mean there is a 4th copy there as well. For the case of Contacts iCloud only complicates matter ... that is until Apple implements the solution I first wrote about. -
How can I sync contacts in my address book to my iPod Touch 2nd Generation with iTunes 10.5.2?
My iPod Touch with OS 4.2.1 will no longer sync contacts from my address book on my computer now that I've upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2 and to Lion. I have ensured that the iPod Touch is set to synchronize all my contacts. The calendar continues to sync.
I have the same situation. I believe I disconnected iCloud by going into preferences and also unclicking the box for Contacts. What am I missing?

Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?
Can two users on the same Mac sync contacts by using the same Apple ID in the iCloud settings?
Hi Barney,
That's exactly what I want. I have a personal user and a business user on my MacBook Pro. I want both users to have the same contacts so if I add a contact while I'm logged into my personal user, it will show up when I'm logged into my business user. I want both contacts books to be exactly the same; like you said. So, I used my business user AppleID when I enabled iCloud for my personal user and I enabled iCloud for my business user with that Apple ID as well. For my personal user, I selected Contacts and Calendars to sync with iCloud. For my business user, I selected everything to sync with iCloud. The problem is... it didn't change anything. I restarted my computer to see if that would do anything but nothing happened. I'm not super savvy with Apple products, so maybe I'm completely confused.
Hi Xeni,
Thank you for your response, as well.
