Sync'd contacts 'notes' field not showing in Outlook

Hey all,
Short version: Our notes fields on contacts is rarely visible in Outlook, but often shows when synced to a device.. Can someone point to something that says how to fix it, or something that says it's not supposed to do so?
Here's the longer version with details...
We use Outlook 2013 and 2010, mailboxes are hosted on our 2013 server and everything is synced via Activesync. I have a local contacts folder in Outlook that is synced to an iPhone. If I modify the Notes field for the contact on the iPhone, it
never shows up on Outlook. If I modify it in Outlook, it never shows up on the iPhone. If I modify it on the iPhone or Outlook, it shows up on an Android. If I modify it on an Android, it shows up on Outlook and an iPhone. Here's the
kicker... No matter what I modify it with, it ALWAYS shows up in Outlook Web Access.
Please keep in mind that I'm referring to a contact in a contact folder in the users' mailbox, NOT a contact from the GAL. We know the difference.
Can anyone clarify what's happening here? I've got a user who's driving me nuts about this and she's high enough in the company that this issue will never "go away" without a satisfactory explanation.

Was this ever resolved?
I have a similar issue with my iPhone iOS7 and Outlook 2013:
1) If I add/change a note in Outlook, it will show up in the contact info on iPhone
2) If I add/change a note on the iPhone, it will SOMETIMES show up in the contact info
3) Some contacts on my iPhone have two different "note" fields, one of which does sync, and the other not.
I'm guessing the issue could be that some contacts have that second "note" field which is called something else in Outlook... but what?

Lync 2013 Frequent Contacts not showing in Outlook 2010 on RDS

Running Outlook 2010 along with Lync 2013.
On a Windows 7 PC if I launch Outlook first, then launch Lync. The frequent contacts will appear on the To-Do bar after "refreshing outlook" (minimizing and maximizing or changing folders.
If I do the same thing on a Windows 2008 R2 RDS machine the Frequent contacts never appear. I have to close down Outlook and reopen Outlook for them to appear.
Does anyone have any detail information about how the integration between Outlook and Lync works to bring through these contacts?
Thanks

Hi,
I test the issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I found the frequent contacts appeared on the To-Do bar if I opened Outlook 2010 firstly and then opened Lync 2013 client.
So please make sure Outlook 2010 and Lync 2013 client to the latest version and then test again.

Contacts not showing up

Im having a problem with my iphone 4. My contacts are in my phone when i search for them and also show up in my recent calls and text messages. However, whenever i touch contacts to bring up the list none of them are there. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello everyone!
For all of you out there who have received phone calls, text messages, etc, and have tried adding a contact by means other than directly via the contacts app only to have your contact not show up ANYWHERE (except maybe in a spotlight search), this quick troubleshooting guide is for you.
Disclaimers: This can be performed on an Apple computer, I do not troubleshoot for PC's (however, anyone who knows their way around computers can easily modify the steps for a PC). This method can also be used if you sync your contacts via MobileMe like I do, and should work for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. I have the latest OS on my iPhone, but it should work with any recent OS. My iTunes has been updated to the most recent version.
Step 1: Open Address Book on your mac. Make sure your address book view is extended to show your groups in the left column. Under groups, everyone will have a group labeled "All Contacts". If that's the only group you have, it's time to create another one. Click the "+" at the bottom of your group column and name your new group whatever you want. For my purposes (as this was an iPhone issue), I named my new group "iPhone Contacts". Do not add any contacts from "All Contacts" to your new group, as this will be unnecessarily redundant. Close Address Book, you're done with it.
Step 2: Open iTunes and plug in your iPhone. Hopefully you have your settings to manually sync when you plug your iPhone into iTunes, otherwise wait until it's synced to continue. Click the "Info" tab in iTunes. The first option is Sync Address Book Contacts. Make sure this option is checked. Under the first subheading, make sure "All contacts" is checked. Below the groups box, there will be a line that says "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to:" and make sure this is checked as well. (Bonus info- Unless you created a contact directly via the contacts app on your iPhone, that contact ends up in another list. This is why you can't see it right now.) At this moment is where that new contact group you created in Address Book comes into play. Use the drop-down menu to the right of this option to select that group (remember mine was "iPhone Contacts"). Do not change anything else. Now click "Sync" in the bottom right corner of iTunes.
Step 3: Once your iPhone is synced, open the Contacts app on your iPhone. If it opens to a contact list, tap the "Groups" button in the upper left corner of the screen. You should see two or three sections. The top section will simply be "All Contacts". The second section will be titled "From My Mac" and will display both "All from My Mac" and the new group you created in Address Book. If you use MobileMe, you will have a third section titled "[email protected]", under which your MobileMe contact group will fall. Make sure you tap the top group, "All Contacts". You will find those "missing" contacts now listed among all your other ones.
Bonus: If you find you have duplicate contact names but neither contact has a full information card, you can edit the contact, scroll to the bottom and tap the "Link contacts" button, then link your duplicates to insure you have all the info you want.
Success!! If you have any questions, let me know.

Synced videos do not show up on iPod

Every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, although iTunes says the videos are synced, they do not show up in the Video app on the iPod.
This is a fairly new problem. All these videos have been synced before and they all showed up just fine in the Video app, but as of late the iPod does not show them. Searching for them yields no results.
The videos are in a compatible format and do not have an extremely high definition. Again, I do not think the problem is with the videos, because previously I was able to view them all just fine.
I have at least 1G of memory left, 2G without syncing the videos.
I have erased and re-synced them in iTunes, to no avail. I can play the videos on the iPod from iTunes, but not on the actual iPod device. I'm using windows iTunes, and it is up to date. The iPod software is up to date. I don't want to do a restore because I've already done that multiple times for multiple issues, but if that's what I have to do, I will. It's a pretty old iPod. I'm syncing with a third-party Duracell cable, but I really don't think that's the problem.
I'm not sure what it means, but in iTunes I have checked the option that reads, "Prefer standard definition videos". Syncing with that option unchecked changes nothing so far as I can tell.
Thanks for all your help!

Contacts not showing up on incoming calls although it is stored on my iPhone 5

contacts not showing up on incoming calls although it is stored on my iPhone 5

There could be any one of three solutions... Try these:
1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone Dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
Set your country code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your loca area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
* For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.
On your device, it could be at Options > Password.

Sync calendar entries not appearing in outlook 2010

Hi there,
I'd be grateful for any help on this one as I'm just bout pulling my hair out.
Basically, when I sync calendars on my iPad 3 using iTunes, the entries do not appear anywhere in Outlook 2010 which is my default mail/calendar client.
My setup is as follows:
I have iCloud enabled on my iPad, but for some reason I have some of my calendar entries on the iCloud calendar and some on the calendar on the iPad itself. I thought the easiest way to sort everything out would be to get the entries stored on the iPad onto my PC, then I could easily copy them into iCloud using Outlook.
Within Outlook I have a number of calendars under the main Calendar folder shown in the navigation pane. Some of these calendars are also on the iPad.
As I had multiple calendars with the same name 'Calendar', I thought it would make things easier if I renamed the calendars on the device. In this case, I renamed the calendar which has the entries I want on my PC to Calendar1. When I sync with iTunes and select Calendar1 to be synced, this does not appear in Outlook. Even if I create an empty Calendar1 in Outlook, the entries are still not being copied over.
I'm running Windows 7 64-Bit, iTunes 11 and iOS 6.12. I have changed the backup option in iTunes to use my computer instead of iCloud. This made no difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hussein.

Hi there,
As a follow up to the previous post I disabled iCloud and opted to keep all items on my iPad thinking that I'd rather have too much data than too litt.e I then did an iTunes sync which replicated a lot of data in Outlook, but the renamed calendar still isn't being synced over or the entries that have been added to it. I put in a test entry on the iPad and it's going into the renamed calendar1 but not showing up in Outlook.
Any further tips. I've tried installing OpenSSL as advised on another Apple support KB article but this has no effect.
Thanks for any advice on this.
All the best for now and take care.
Hussein.

Issue with Sent mails from BB not showing in outlook

Dear All,
I configured my BB 8800 to work on my office email. We do not have a BES.
Concerns that i noticed are that the mails sent from my BB do not show up in the sent items of outlook.
The service is thru Airtel in India and the Tech support team of airtel mentioned that sent items would not show in outlook.
I really cant believe that such a thing can happen and Blackberry would release an incomplete mailing solution for non BES users.
Pls let me know if i can configure so that i can see my sent items in outlook :-)

This is true that sent items wont show in Outlook, unless you are using OWA to integrate your work account. If its POP, they wont show in sent items.
Workaround:
-Log into BIS account and click on Edit beside your email address and in 'Auto BCC:' field enter your email address and save.
-Click on filters for your email address and add new filter, Filetr naem: Sent items; Apply filter when: "From" field and Contains: enter your email address and choose 'Do not forward messages to device' option and click on 'Add Filter'
On Outlook set up a filter for messages that come from your email address to move to 'Sent items'
Summary: Auto bcc to bcc your address to get your sent mail, filter not to receive copies of those sent messages on BB and filter in Outlook to put those messages in 'Sent Folder' Enjoy

Maiden name field in contacts not showing on iPhone or iPad or iCloud

I've changed my contacts template, on my iMac, to include the "maiden name" field, years ago... And to this date that field STILL does not show on my other Apple devices; iPhone or iPad or iCloud. Am I missing something or does Apple continue to not include some of THEIR "Std" fields on the ios devices or on iCloud?

I just talked to Apple Support, after upgrading to ios7...and testing more with the maiden name field...
There reply was that the "Mainden Name" field is unique to OS X Contacts, and is no plans to bring it forward. I also just noticed that if a edit a contact that has this field on ios7 (the field doesn't show) and it syncs back via iCloud to my iMac...it wipes out the maiden name info!!!
I did notice that the new ios7/iCloud have several new/additional "relationship" fields, ie Spouse (which has been there) but now Mother, Father, etc....
Sooo... I guess I'll use the Father field to hold the maiden name info... works for me... :-)

Exchange 2003 Active Sync - Contacts not showing up on BB10

Hi Everyone, i am hoping someone can help. We have been assumig all along the problem was with our Exchange Server 2003 config and new informaiton has come to light that makes me believe now it is a device issue and I am hoping someone has seen this problem.
The core probllem is that contacts are not syncing propertly. They are syncing VERY slowly - it has been 7 Hours and only a hundred or so have moves over. The assumption was they werent copyng over, however new information has led us to potentially believe they are coming over but are being processed by the Z10 and not showing up in the contact list.
My unit is hooked up to my car on bluetooth and everytime i start my car - it copies over my contact list. I then noticed that there are contacts which have been copies over, which do NOT show up yet on my blackberry (but are in my exchange contacts) - so my car found the contact from the Z10 and now 3 hours later, that contact is still not in my BB Contacts. I know for sure that contact wasnt cahced in my car memory, as it is a new contact i created on my office computer only a few hours prior....
This is making me believe that the Z10 is processing the contacts in some way or the index on my BB contacts is bad.
What have I dont todate to resolve the issue:
- complete wipe and reload (3 times)
Today:
Removed the battery and restarted - numberous times
Interestingly, everytme i reboot the device, more contacts appear in my list??? Considering i have approx 800 contacts, this would only mean i have about 500 reboots left before my contacts are all there?
HELP

Hi Jjang,
To resolve this for you it would really help if we could gather logs and do some testing. Could you please ask your wireless service provider to open a case with BlackBerry on your behalf so we can look after this for you?
Thanks.
