Sync Salesforce to Outlook, Sync Outlook to iPhone 5 Contacts

I am trying to sync the contacts in Salesforce with my iphone 5 contacts, so that when I’m on my iphone 5, I can see all updated contact information on the iphone. This boils down to two major steps: 1. Sync Salesforce with Outlook and 2. Sync Outlook with my iphone 5 contacts. I have already completed step 1. Now I need to sync Outlook with my iphone. I plan to do this via iCloud and wanted to see if this has worked well for people?
Also, when I do this – is this going to be a two-way sync (Outlook to iphone AND iphone to Outlook) OR can I configure it to be one way (Outlook to iphone only)? I only want a one-way sync (Outlook to iphone NOT iphone to Outlook).
Also, when I do this – will I have duplicate listings of people already in my iphone or will it recognize individuals with the same name and replace their information? One of my concerns, is that I already have many of the people stored in my iphone that are also stored in Outlook and do not want multiple listings in my iphone after I complete the sync. Is there a way to avoid this?
The point of all the syncing is to be continuous, so I'm not trying to do one download of contacts but rather set up a configuration that will be an ongoing, one-way, chain reaction (Salesforce update -> Outlook update -> iPhone contact update).
Thank you for any input on the subject!

It's probably because your contacts do not belong to the iCloud account.
Open the contacts app on your phone and tap Groups.  Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?

  • Sending Outlook Meeting requests using iPhone contacts

    Is there a plugin or undocumented feature for creating an appointment on the iPhone 3G and send to recipients using the iPhone contact list?

  • HT1692 Is there any way to add my iPhone contacts to Outlook for Mac 2011?  Syncing through iTunes does not seem to do that.

    For reasons that trace back to a problematic update of OS X a few months ago, I lost all the contact i had in Outlook for Mac 2011.  Is there any way to transfer/copy contacts from my iPhone into Outlook?  I tried syncing thrugh iTunes, but that accomplished n

    I have a similar problem.
    Syncing my iPhone via USB cable and iTunes to Outlook 2011 syncs only my calender correctly to Outlook 2011. My iPhone contacts sync wit Apple's contacts, where I don't want them.
    Have you been able to find the solution to your problem?

  • TS1347 syncing contacts deleted iphone contacts how do i get them back

    I syncing my iphone contacts with outlook and after the sync completed it wiped out all my iphone contacts and only synced my outlook contacts. lost over 300 records how do i get them back?

    With the first sync with an address book app on your computer that includes at least one contact and the same for the iPhone, a merge prompt is provided, which you want to select. The other option is to replace on the iPhone with what is available in the address book app on your computer.
    If this was the first sync for this data, sounds like you did not select the merge prompt when provided.
    Contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes again, don't. Try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. Decline the prompt to update your iPhone's backup as the first step.

  • Sync iPhone Contacts INTO MobileMe

    How do I sync iPhone to MobileMe without deleting iPhone contacts?
    I just got an iPhone and imported my contacts from my old sim card. I want the contacts in MobileMe but the process described in the sync instructions makes it seem like my iPhone contacts will be deleted. (I tested this by syncing the Calendar and the iPhone calendar items were in fact deleted when I did it)
    Thanks
    Jeanne

    First sync the contacts (and all other data) the classic way to your machine using USB connection. Then sync the data from your host to MobileMe. Check (using MobileMe webapps) that MobileMe has all the data.
    Once your host machine and MobileMe are up to date, enable MobileMe syncing over the air. This will in deed first delete all contacts and calendar entries from your iPhone. It then retrieves all the data from MobileMe over the air, making all data reappear after a couple of minutes.

  • Are notes limited in iphone contacts?

    I synced my Outlook contacts to my iphone. Seems that notes were cut off. Can I do anything to expand the note part of my contact? Otherwise I feel that I will lose them when I sync both ways

    OK.  Seems like the iPhone Contacts App WILL allow 2 different numbers with the mobile label & both get the messaging link.
    However, MS Outlook will only allow ONE number with the mobile label.  Hmm, I'll have to try adding a field label in Outlook that matches a custom label in my iPhone & see if they sync.  Still not sure I can assign a new field label in Outlook that will reliably get a Messaging link in iPhone Contacts App
    neokrelic, my wife has a simple clam shell cell phone that does not have iMessage app & when (in my iPhone) I assign it to "mobile," it receives the Messaging link.  Maybe I'm wrong but I believe iMessage can send a text to any cell phone that can receive a text.
               I'm pretty sure I've used it to send texts to Android phones

  • New iPhone contact into specific MobileMe addressbook group?

    Hello,
    I want to add a new contact, on the iPhone, directly into a specific group. It works at the moment by setting the sync via iTunes (which defaults any new iPhone contact into the group we want.
    Can it be set to do the same with MobileMe?
    Thanks
    (I'm not sure if we'll just use iTunes or go via MobileMe... it's easy enough to plug in the iPhone, just seems more convenient via MobileMe)

    On the Mac I just created a group in the Address book. It automatically syncs to the iPhone and to MobileMe. Sorry, I don't know if Windows' Outlook syncs a contact group to the iPhone (or to MobileMe).
    It's a pity there's no FAQ discussing the limitations of syncing, and the differences between syncing via iTunes and syncing via MobileMe.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • E-mail (Outlook) syncs to iMac and iPad, but not to iPhone. How can I get it to sync to all three devices?

    My e-mail (Outlook) syncs to my iMac and my iPad.  However, I can read e-mails on my new iPhone, respond to them, and even erase them, but when I go to my computer or iPad afterwards, they still appear unopened and I have to open each one and close it again so it doesn't show up as an unread e-mail.  This does not happen with the iMac and iPad; deleting it on one of those deletes it on the other as well.  What am I doing wrong?

    I asked the hosts to relocate your question to the Using iPhone Forum. You should get helped there.

  • How can i sync my outlook calendar with my Iphone

    I was trying to import my contact list from my iphone to outlook 2003. There were no entries on  outlook and over 800 on my iphone and it erase them all.  How do I set up my itunes to sync and merge records in both directions without creating duplicates.

    Before syncing contacts with an empty address book app, enter one contact in the address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    The same applies with calendar events before syncing calendar events with the Outlook calendar.
