Sync to outlook doesn't copy phone numbers with type "iphone"

I noticed that outlook is missing many phone numbers that were added from my iPhone. I then realized the pattern was that the missing numbers all had been entered with the phone type of "iphone". Other types that match predefined Outlook categories (i.e. "mobile", "work", etc) seem to work ok.
I have a 3GS, all the latest updates, Windows 7 on the desktop.
Any ideas?
Thanks

For all of you (us) that had this problem I have found the solution!!! After hours on the phone with Apple - who were very nice, but didn't have the solution - I found the fix on Google.
You need to export your calendar to a .pst file (save it on your desktop or in an easy file to find later). Once you have exported all calendar items you'll need to select 'view All Appointments' and then delete them. This clears your entire calendar - the source of the problem is one of the appointments getting corrupted somehow. Once the calendar is clear sync your iPhone with the 'replace all calendar items' selected in the Advanced section of Info on iTunes. This should completely clear the calendar on your iPhone as well. You can then add a test appointment to your blank calendar in Outlook, sync regularly and it should appear on your iPhone. Once that test is done and things are working correctly, import your .pst file back into Outlook, restoring all of your valid appointments. Sync again and voila!
It took me the better part of two days, troubleshooting and searching to find this and hopefully this helps solve your issues as well.

  • HT1386 my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly

    my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly from my address book.  some are imported with the area code separated from the number, as it is in the address book (by a dash or parentheses).  these the phone will dial correctly.  others are imported with all the numbers bunched together, without separations between the number and area code, even though in the address book they are separated.  these the phone won't dial correctly, and I get a message from verizon saying it won't connect with the number as dialed.  how can I get the phone to import the numbers as they appear in the address book?

  • Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

    Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

    iTunes does not backup any contact information.  Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer.  On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer.  On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
    You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
    Do you still have the previous iPhones?  If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone.

    Some older addresses that sync from Outlook no longer showup on my ipad and iphone.  Data is in Outlook and in Icloud contacts.  Any suggestions?  Some of the newer addresses seem to sync but the older ones (family) addresses are not.  The data is showing up in Outlook and in icloud but doesn't show up in my contacts after a sync.

  • How do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to IPhone 4S

    how do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to my new IPhone 4S?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, or over the air with an email account that supports it. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair by being dropped, etc.
    If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, you select the same under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account that supports it, create the account with the Mail app on your new iPhone and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
    Contacts are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone is being backed up with iTunes on your computer, the first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer being synced with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.

    If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup.  This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

    I have model series KX TG7641 /w 5 phones....
    My questions:
    1. Can the directory of phone numbers with in my iPhone be transferred to the Panasonic and retain the individual number designations; i.e., "home-moblie-work-etc"?
    2. Can I use the manual select on the Panasonic to selectively transfer numbers from my iPhone?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
    FYI, there are no viruses that affect iOS unless the device has been hacked or jailbroken, in which case they cannot be discussed here.

    You cannot accidentally download Mavericks. You have to select to download it. You can always erase your drive and reinstall from the backup you made before you installed Mavericks.

  • How to copy phone numbers from iPhone 5 to Panasonic KX-TG7445?

    My phone is linked to the Panasonic phone system. Does anyone know how to copy selected contacts' phone numbers to the Panasonic phone system?

    That would be a good question for Panasonic...
    If the system does not support the PBAP, you can't import them from the phone. If it does, ALL contacts will be uploaded automatically.

  • Need to sync my outlook calendar to my phone and back to my computer.

    I need to be able to put appts in my phone and sync to my outlook on my computer and vise versa. Please help !

    Great feedback and suggestion ascii!
    And thanks for posting Scooby4u2!
    The calendar on your DROID BIONIC can sync with integrated email accounts setup on your device.  For example, if you have a Google account setup on your BIONIC, you can enable the calendar sync in the "My Accounts" or "Settings/Accounts" screen.  For Outlook calendar syncing, this would depend on what email accounts you have linked to the Outlook program on your computer.  You may be able to sync that email accounts calendar events to your device.  Another option you have would be to purchase or download one of the 3rd party applications suggested by ascii to sync your Outlook calendar events.  Those applications are supported by the developers of those specific applications.
