Synching Contacts with Outlook 2010

I am running Outlook 2010 on a brand new computer. I am running iTunes version 9.2.0.61 and iPhone version 4.0.1. I have had no problem synching my contacts with my phone until today. There are 3 "contact" folders in Outlook: all called "contact" but 1 is associated with my e-mail address on microsoft's MAPI server; one is associated with my wife's e-mail address on microsoft's MAPI server; and one resides on the desktop in an "outlook" folder. As of yesterday the two MAPI folders were empty and all of the contact information was stored in the outlook folder. But today I entered a new e-mail address in the "to" field of an e-mail. When I synched my iPhone it erased all of the contact information on the iPhone and replaced it with the single e-mail address I had entered. When I checked the computer I saw that the new address had been placed in my e-mail MAPI contact folder. I removed it from the MAPI folder and put it in the "outlook" folder but the iPhone will not synch with the outlook folder. I have tried synching it several times and it just produces an empty contacts file. But it had been synching successfully with the outlook folder for the previous several days until an entry was made in the MAPI folder. What do I do now to get all of my contact information back on the iPhone?

Why isn't Apple addressing the Outlook 2010 64 bit Sync problems?
I had a computer crash & had to replace it. I didn't have copies of some of my software including Office 2007 and just bought all the new version and now nothing is working together...
This *****!

How can I sync my iPhone contacts with Outlook 2010

how do I sync my iPhone contacts with Outlook 2010.

Connect your iPhone to the computer, from I tunes screen at the top you can see different tabs, click on info, then choose from that screen from where you will sync contacts, then go down and press sync

Synching contacts with Outlook does not work

I have a Mac (with the contacts application), an iPhone and an iPad as well as an iCloud account. Synching contacts between all 4 of them works perfectly. However, synching contacts with Outlook 2011 does not work anymore. It used to, then I had some trouble with the synching with the iCloud (due to the fact that I had to change the Apple ID from the one I use for iTunes to the one I use for the Cloud), and since then contacts do not replicate with Outlook anymore. I can deactivate and reactivate the synching in Outlook as much as I want, no change.
Any ideas? Thanks!

So it sounds like you have contacts from multiple mail accounts syncing to/from your iPhone. They will all appear there as long as their respective accounts are checked under contacts/groups(upper left of contact screen).
As far as contacts created on the iPhone, if you select Outlook as your default account for contacts, all contacts created on the iPhone will sync with Outlook. I'm assuming your Outlook syncs with an Exchange Server.
You could connect the iPhone to iTunes and sync all of your contacts to say, a desktop version of Outlook. You could then import that set of contacts into the Exchange version of Outlook.

IPhonne stopped synching contacts with Outlook

I had somehow synched my outlook contacts with the iPod. After that I deleted all my contacts from Outlook. Then, to take a backup of my iPhone contacts, I added just 1 dummy entry into my Outlook contacts. I am using the latest iTunes and also have updated the SW on the iPhone. I make all the right selections in iTunes to sync iPhone contacts with outlook. When I sync contacts are not synced. Neither the Outlook contacts nor the iPhone contacts are changed.
All I want is to create a backup copy of my iPhone contacts. Is this an impossible task?
Thanks,
Bulent Dervisoglu

It is now 2008 and I assume Apple decided to support the most popular versions of Outlook and I guess if Microslop didn't have significant changes between Outlook 2002 and 2003 - with 2003 released the very next year which is unusual and speaks volumes, Outlook 2002 would also be supported but I venture to say there is a reason.
Nothing special or additional purchase is required with a Mac and rightfully so and I don't blame Apple one bit for not wasting resources to support every Outlook version or Windows version. The minimum system requirements and other requirements is published and easily available before making this purchase.
I think Apple designers need to go for a training session @ Motorola. I had no backup issues with my Motorola Razr using the Motorola Phone Tools SW.
And Motorola designers need to go for a training session or two @ Apple since the Motorola Phone Tools SW is Windows compatible only which I believe requires an additional purchase.
Which Windows version are you running since there might be another option depending on your answer.

Can synch contacts with Outlook, but not calendar/todo list

My Nano syncs fine with music, photos, and with Outlook's contacts The contacts page in itunes even lists my calendars, but when I synch they don't come across, and neither do my todo lists. Any suggestions?

Hi - I was able to sync contacts and calendar, but not to-do lists, although there is an option on the nano itself for to-do lists - when I select it it tells me to "enable syncing from Itunes under the Calendar section of the contacts tab." There doesn't seem to be any option to enable this in the calendar section - I suspect maybe this was eliminated for the 3G?
Anyway, one problem you may have in syncing from outlook is that there is too much data in your calendar and contact files. Try archiving your files in outlook first before syncing.(File/Archive) I got the "Itunes cannot sync" error message and this solved my problem.
Good luck.

Why are you running Mobile Me? calendars and contacts are no longer available there, your Hotmail address may be OK for an Apple ID but wion't work for email in iCloud,
Outlook is dreadful anyhow, use emClient for iCloud.

My iphone 4 cant seem to sync my contacts with outlook 2010

I just purchased an iphone 4 and I cant sync my contacts with my outlook. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I think you have to choose which program you want to sync with, when your phone is pluged in and iTunes is up, go to contacts, calendars, and a drop down menu should pop up. you should be able to select outlook fom the list.

Problems synching iphone 3gs with outlook 2010

when I sync my Iphone 3GS with Outlook 2010 using ITunes, I am losing contacts?

Yes I have a similar problem.
I lost all my contacts (today 23rd Mat 2011) on my 3G iPhone and the Address Book on my Mac Pro also.
The contacts in my MS Outlook were intact I run Outlook:Mac 2011.
They have only just fixed the issue with the Calendar in this version 2 weeks ago an MS issue.
I plugged in the iPhone last night to charge and synch and this morming the phone had no contacts and I had lost all the address Book I had some group headings (greyed out)
It's almost like a plot to get Outlook users frustrated and make them switch but, Outlook is too good.

I was using Icloud with Outlook 2010 on Win 7 64 bit w/o a problem until I downloaded CP 3. Now can't open my calendar in outlook - contacts are fine. Also can't open calendar in icloud if I access it with Internet Exp but can if I use Chrome. Fixes?

I was using Icloud on my PC with Outlook 2010 and Windows 7 64bit. After I upgraded the icloud control panel to 3.0 my calendar will no longer load and open in outlook nor will it open on icloud if I access icloud with internet explorer. It works fine on icloud if I access it with Chrome. I can also access it through IE on another computer. Something is amiss on my system. Any thoughts?

Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

HT1296 When synching Outlook Contacts and calendars with iTunes for Windows, I do not get the option to "Synch Contacts with". It says, and cannot be changed, that it is synching with iCloud. How do I get iTunes to give me an option other than iCloud?

Using iTunes for Windows to synch my Outlook Contacts and Calendars into my iPhone 5, with the iPhone Device designated and in the Info tab, I do not have the option to "Synch Contacts with", but have an unchangeable message that it is synching with iCloud. How do I create that option to synch with Outlook?

HT1386 iphone 4 with outlook 2010. The sync does NOT sync all of info such as some Notes and some contacts. Any advice please?

When Syncing iPhone with iTunes with Outlook 2010 with Wiindows7 not all of the information is sysnchronized. e.g. Outlook Notes shows 8 more entries than iPhone. Any help would be appreciated. Sync is done by direct cable connection.

I finally found a solution that worked.
I installed the App "Group SMS" from the App Store. Then I created a new group. Then I added all my addresses manually one by one. And when I then synchronize - all my contacts appeared again in Outlook.

I have three iphones that synchronize with outlook 2010,each with a different profile.Two of them, running ios4.3 succesfully update contacts with the apropriate profile of windows/outlook (which is open at the time). The third iphone using ios 5.1 will always sync contacts with the admin account, regardless of the win/outlook account being open.

Cannot sync ipad with Outlook 2010 contacts. help

I called techsupport when I was unable to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with my Ipad2. The techie told me I could only sync from earlier versions of Outlook (seems kinda dumb). She said I could sync from my gmail contacts but when I tried this gmail told me "25% of the content in your content will change on your computer". Ideas?

The iPad manual says :
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
So you should be able to sync contacts from Outlook 2010. I don't think Outlook 2010 was supported on the original iPad until iOS 4.2+ was installed, but the iOS on the iPad 2 has (I think) always been high enough.
What happens when you try ?
