Syncing contacts between E71 and Outlook

Hi there
I have a brand new E71, and a thing of joy it is. One small thing about PC Suite syncing though: there are numbers in the phone that just don't make it into my Outlook contacts. I have PC Suite version 7.0.8.2 and Outlook 2003, on a Windows XP laptop (HP model). I've copied all my SIM contacts to the phone memory, and done a resync... but there are still a small handful of contacts on the phone that contain a phone number - but the phone number simply does not appear in the corresponding contact in Outlook. I've done a couple of variations on syncing chanding the direction from phone to PC, and then from PC to phone, but that also seemed to make no difference. Searched all over the forum and the Nokia site for help, but to no avail.
It's irritating rather than mission critical but suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
And a second query: why do I get so many duplicates as a result of syncing - never used to happen with my 9300. Any way to stop it happening. I now have six or seven versions of some contacts both on the phone and in the Outlook contacts, and the only way I can see to fix it is manually, which will be a long and tedious process.
Thank you for any help!

E71 firmware version 4.** Latest .PC Suite Version 7.1.40.1 PC Connectivity Solution: Version 9.45.0.0 Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver: Version 7.1.23.0 Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 2 Language: English Language for non-Unicode programs: English Detected Bluetooth stacks: - Microsoft (Version: 5.1.2600, Build: 2180).
I connect via Bluetooth.
The connection between the phone and PC is good. The contacts in PC suite are updated correctly.
Problem: New contacts in the E71 is not added to the contacts folder in Outlook 2007, It used to work. I think it stopped working after the PC suite update some time ago because that was the only change I remember. I rechecked settings in PC Sync and no change. I can see when the phone connects to PC Sync on the phone and in PC Sync. The changes just stay 0. I do make sure that keypad is locked and phone not in use when synchronizing. Its a great phone, please help.

How to sync contacts between iCloud and Outlook without iCloud moving the contacts

Hi,
When synching Contacts between Outlook and iCloud, iCloud moves away the Outlook contacts from the default directory, to a newly created data file.
This issue already existed with MobileMe Calendar, and now seems to have been "adopted" for the Contacts as well in iCloud.
This causes me many issues, including synching the same data with other devices and other PC's.
Any work around?

Apples iCloud is not working with Outlook as it is making new folders isolated from the standard folder *.pst.
I have tested intensely and moved back to Google Sync (calendar) and iTunes (contacts, notes) as they sync properly with the standard folders in Outlook. Reminders sync still missing. Shame on Apple for delivering such a nonsens to us.

Merging contacts between iphone and Outlook rather than syncing

I want to be able to update a contact on iphone and in Outlook and when I sync I want the contacts to merge.
At the moment they seem to sync so if I have deleted on old phone number in Outlook but it is still on iphone it reappears after the synce and vice versa.
I want to merge so I can edit freely on both devices and on syncing be given the choice what information to accept or reject (like my Nokia E51 used to).

HT1296 Syncing issues between iPhone and Outlook contacts

I'm trying to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with my iPhone (iOS6.1.3) using iTunes (11.0.1.12). I no longer have the option under the iTunes Info tab to "Sync contacts from" so I can't select Outlook. At one point, it was there. It now states that the contacts are being synced with iPhone over the air from iCloud, but I have no other options or way to change this. What can be done to fix this? Thanks.

Problem solved- I needed to uncheck the option under Settings/iCloud on the iPhone to sync the contacts with iCloud. With this turned off, I get the option again to sync with Outlook under the Info tab in iTunes.

Unable to Merge Contacts between iPhone4 and Outlook

I am using Outlook 2007. I typically update contact information on my iPhone since it's always with me. I did this with my iPhone 3GS and did not notice any problems syncing. I cleaned up my address book, removing any duplicates, in Outlook. Not sure if it's the iPhone4 or version of itunes, but when I sync my contacts I'm not given the option to "merge" data. The sync seems to respond in one of two ways. 1) Overwriting my updated contact information on the iPhone4.
So I lose my new contact info.
2) Creating a new (duplicate)contact instead of updating the
existing contact information in Outlook.
Can someone tell me if my settings are wrong? Itunes only gives you the option of "replace information on device" or "replace information on computer".
Please advise. You help is appreciated.

When syncing iPhone contacts with a supported address book application on your computer the first time - if your iPhone already includes at least one contact and the same with the supported address book application on your computer, you are provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data. After the initial merge in this situation, the sync process for this data should be a bidirectional or true sync process between your iPhone contacts and the supported address book application on your computer. There won't be another merge prompt and there shouldn't need to be.
iTunes give one option in this regard - replace contacts on your iPhone with what is available in the supported address book application on your computer. After doing this, the sync process between the two should be a bidirectional or true sync process.
Try resetting the sync history on your computer, which is done via iTunes preferences under the Devices tab.

Syncing issues between iPhone and Outlook 2003

After syncing my iPhone with my Outlook contacts, I realized that some of my contacts were doubling up - both in Outlook and on the iPhone. Per a friend's instructions, I had to go in and manually delete the doubles in Outlook and did the same thing on my iPhone. It's been about a week now since I last synced and suddenly I started realizing that more and more of my contacts are missing!! Is there anything i can do to retrieve them?
Thank you!

I have experienced the same problem with Outlook 2007 and the most recent i phone purchased late last year. Have you had a succesful reply as i do not want to delete my duplicates just to have the same problem repeat itself again?

Synchronizing my contacts between iPhone and Outlook

I currently synchronize my calendars between my iPhone and Outlook via the USB connection between my computer and the phone. I tried to do the calendar synchronization through the iCloud, as that looked really slick, but I didn't like some of the side effects, so I went back to synchronizing directly between my computer and my phone. It seems like to synchronize the contacts, the only option is to use iCloud, but I don't know if I can do that only for the contacts and not have my calendar involved? Any suggestions on how I do this?

Sync problems between iPhone and Outlook (MS Exchange)

Hi all, I have a problem with my iPhone. I have an MS Exchange e-mail account setup on it and whenever I get an e-mail it goes on both the phone and Outlook however when I delete something from Outlook it does not do the same on the iPhone. On the other hand if I delete something on the iPhone it does reflect on Outlook without problems. So its not that there is no sync, the problem seems to be one side only....
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

i use outlook for my work email, but my personal email is in gmail. besides work email, i do not use outlook at all.
i get my work email on my iPhone, but i do not sync calendars and contacts as i have to use an imap connection for work, and this does not allow for calendar or contact syncing.
i have seen a gmail/outlook sync tool, but i am afraid i do not use it so i can not offer any help with it.

Syncing Contacts between iPhone 4 & Outlook

iPhone 4. iOS 6.1.3
I have two Contact Groups on my iPhone: All Contacts & iPhone. (I am syncing to Outlook via iTunes.)
1. How can I force the phone to enter all new contacts into only the iPhone group? Currently, it seems that any new contact I add automatically goes into All Contacts. I can find no way in Settings or elswhere to stop this from happening. (I know there are old threads on this site that say you can change the Default Contact Group through Settings>Contacts to e.g. iPhone but no version of software on my phone so far - over 2 years - has allowed this.)
2. Is there a way to move contacts out of the All Contacts group into the iPhone group? Other than painfully re-typing the data into the iPhone group and deleting the same contact in All Contacts, there seems to be no way of doing this. Really strange that Apple does not give you an option to easily move a contact from one group to another.
3. Is there a way to sync both groups to Outlook via iTunes? I have tried every place I can find in both the phone and iTunes to make this happen but no luck. If this was possible, then it would be an easy matter in Outlook to move all the contacts to the iPhone group and then resync. Voila! All would be in the iPhone group. Catch 22 - there doesn't seem to be any way of transferring/syncing the contacts in the All Contacts group to anywhere, let alone to Outlook through iTunes.
4. Is there anyone else out there who can see any logical reason why Apple cannot provide the above functionality within the iPhone?
Thanks

No - the syncing process for contact info is a bidirectional or true sync process. There is no setting for not transferring or syncing contacts with an email address only. If you don't want these contacts with an email address only on your iPhone, delete the contacts from the address book used by OE.

Syncing contacts with iCloud and Outlook

Hi, my iPhone is syncing one contact group ("from my PC") to Outlook and another ("iCloud") to iCloud. How can I merge everything and have all my contacts stored in MS Outlook and iCloud?

same problem for me also. anybody has answer to solve this issue ?

Syncing contacts between iPhone and Address Book Server

How does one sync contacts from the Address Book Server with the iPhone?
The Apple ad says, "With Address Book, you can even synchronize contacts to your iPhone for accessing your contacts on the go."
How?

Ugh...I just spent lots of hours over the last several days trying to figure this out and was coming to the conclusion that it could be that it really doesn't work as advertising. It seems confirmed now.
A bit disappointing that it seems like it would be better to run an Exchange server instead of Snow Leopard server....
I have MobileMe as well, but it doesn't seem like I can get SL Server --> Mac Addressbook.app --> MobileMe --> iPhone... but I'll give it a few tries.

Syncing Contacts between iPhone and Macbook

I recently added contacts on both my iPhone and on my Macbook. However, the new contacts placed on the iPhone won't sync to the address book contacts and the contacts on my Macbook won't sync to my iPhone. How can I go about resolving this problem?

Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.

I am getting a sync error between iphone and Outlook 2007: ITunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone. How can I fix this?

HT1386 Sync issues between iPhone and Outlook

My contacts are not syncing over to my iPhone, even though it says they will do so automatically. I also now have duplicates and triplets of the contacts. Any ideas on how to correct both of these issues?

I have experienced the same problem with Outlook 2007 and the most recent i phone purchased late last year. Have you had a succesful reply as i do not want to delete my duplicates just to have the same problem repeat itself again?

ICloud not syncing contacts between mac and iOS 8 iphone

Contacts not syncing between imac under Mavericks and iPhone 5 under IOS 8. When trying to delete the iCloud account from the phone I get a verification error. Yet when i use a browser I can successfully verify that the appleid and password are correct. Any ideas on how to fix this short of totally wiping the iPhone and starting over?

Then I think your best option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
