Syncing contacts/calendars of 2 phones on 1 computer [win XP]

My wife and I recently got iphones (yay!!). However, we only have on computer at home running outlook 2007 and every time we sync contacts/calendars we get all of each others info. I tried creating groups in outlook, but they are not showing up in itunes (i'm only getting the all contacts option, not groups). I've been trying to figure this out most of the day, any help is greatly appreciated.

I wonder if the original poster might be able to do it with manual sync and (admittedly) a bit of inconvenience. I have my iPhone set up to sync manually on two different machines, one for my music and the other for my laptop's iCal. But I didn't want all of the individual calendars of my laptop's iCal assortment to sync to the 'phone, so I checked "sync selected calendars" and toggled just the ones I wanted to cart around on my iPhone.
Maybe the OP could set up the iPhones for manual syncing, and on the Info tab check off selected calendars to sync with his phone before hitting the sync button. It may be a pain to have to remember to change the checkboxes for the His and Hers calendars, but it might be worth a try. (And make sure you have the right destination calendar -- again in the Info tab -- for the appointments made on your iPhone when you are syncing back to the laptop iCal. You don't want your appointments showing up in her calendar...)
Hope this helps.

HT201104 Can you sync contacts/calendar on ios 7 device after upgrading to iCloud drive?

I have an iphone 4 (ios 7, can't get 8). I don't care about accessing documents on iCloud drive with my phone.
I might want to do it with my ipad mini (ios8.1) though.
If I upgrade to iCloud drive will I still be able to sync contacts/calendar on my iphone?

I cloud drive IS not the SAME as I cloud you use for backups. I cloud drive is for moving docs, pics, etc. So if you upgrade to iCloud drive, yes you can still sync contacts, calendars, etc

Syncing Contacts/Calendar Only

Hello
I just received the new 6 Plus and want to set up as new, instead from back up.
Is there a way to only restore contacts and calendar ? Or do i need to manually reinstall all my contacts and calendar info.
Thank you

If you synced your contacts and calendar to iCloud you can set up your new phone as new and then go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Contacts and Calendars to sync.
If you synced them to your computer via iTunes, the following may help: iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
If you only have a backup to iTunes or iCloud, the restore from those backups is all or nothing.

Verizon 755p; using Versamail; cant sync contacts & calendar

I am having a sync conflict....
I HAD been able to sync Contacts & Calendar via USB but once I started using Treo for emails, have been unable to sync ever since. Very frustrating. Hours upon hours trying to figure it out.
Went to advanced settings in Wireless Sync (to "Enable other sync apps") but still can't sync to Palm Desktop. I am using Versamail for my two gmail accounts. No need to use Wireless Sync.. Can I just delete WS?
Any suggestions please?

Hello tweetie and welcome to the Palm forums.
Did you check the Verizon Wireless Sync software for settings that disable wired sync support? I have a Sprint Treo and I can't test this out for you. Other posters have reported similar issues and the Wireless Sync software settings are sometimes the cause for the inability to perform a wired sync of calendar and contacts.

I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Help.

I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Wondering how to get my device from the other computer especially since I don't even know what computer it's connected to.

At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes. It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time. Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.

Outlook Sync (Contacts/Calendar) Issues - Progress today........

Folks,
I posted another earlier discussion on this topic over the weekend, but since I got my iPhone on Friday, I have probably burned about 20 hours working trying to figure out why I cannot sync my calendar and contacts from Office 2003 "OR" 2007 into my iPhone. When I started this process, 584 of my 1310 contacts did sync, I had NO luck on getting any of calendar items to sync.
Today we resolved the Contact issue!!! Still working on the calendar issues and if anyone has any further ideas, I am open to it, but it appears for both the contacts and calendar issues, I had corrupt data. You dont know it until encounter it this way.
Here is what you need to do in order to get the contacts to sync, it worked for me, hopefully it will work for many after me:
1. Export "ALL" of your contacts to a .CSV (Comma Separated Value for Windows) file. Just export them to your desktop or somewhere easy to find them. As an extra safety net to ensure you dont lose your contacts, back them up also to a .XLS file as well as a .PST file.
2. Delete "ALL" your contacts out of Outlook. Sync Outlook, especially if your like me and have your contacts and calendar on a corporate exchange server. Be sure you clear your iPhone so there is no contacts on it.
3. Import the .CSV file to a VCARD file, sync to your coporate server, sync your iTunes and you should now see all your contacts.
Again, it worked for me and hopefully it works for you.
Good Luck!!

Everyone is waiting for this.
Right now you cannot sync locally between your phone and your desktop. You are forced to upload your contacts to another company's server (read "the cloud") and then download them from whatever device you didn't upload them from.
Still waiting for this fix please.

HT4759 Can I use the Icloud to sync contacts, calendar and notes on my Iphone 4s with ios7?

Most of my info seems to automatically back up to the cloud automatically and at once point my address book must have also but I am no longer able to sync the updated address book to my icloud. This as also been a problem with notes and other apple aps. I do not have an Icloud app on my phone but in the systems folder where it shows the icon on the computer it says mobile me which I do not have. Does this mean I need to pay the $20 upgrade fee to go to mountain lion and if i have to upgrade is that the best one to update too? what major changes will i see when I do this and will it cause a problem with any of my current info on my phone such as contacts and calendar?

Yes, to sync with iCloud on your Mac you will need to upgrade.
You can certainly upgrade to Mountain Lion but OS X Mavericks is due out within the next month so it may be worth it to wait. In the meantime you can access your iCloud contacts, calendars, etc... from iCloud.com. Sign in with your Apple ID.
Here is more info on Mavericks: Apple - OS X Mavericks - Do even more with new apps and features.

BlackBerry Link and syncing Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with stand-alone desktop installation of Outlook 2010?

I have used Blackberries in business since the beginning. Fantastic products!
Sadly after spending the better part of Feb 6th transitioning from Torch to Z10 I have had to abandon the effort and request an RMA number to return the Z10.
Here is why:
"Link" appears to be focussed on syncing documents and media like content such as music and movies but does not, from what I can tell, sync Outlook Contacts, Calendar entries or Tasks. I have never bothered putting music or movies on a BB... never had the time to fuss with such... however, I use, edit and sync my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks between my Torch and my desktop PC every day... as in EVERY day!
From a review of postings on various forums there does not appear to be a solution in the works to this problem and the trend appears to be to use a Cloud based email or service to host such "PIM" information and then sync the handheld to the Cloud repository. This method MAY be suitable for some forms of info but it is not suitable to post such personal info on the cloud... it needs to stay on the desktop and in the handheld device, both of which are password protected and looked after carefully.
This is an odd situation, BB (RIM) cut their teeth on pages, emails, BBM and great cell calls, mainly in a business environment. Many small business users live and die on their BB. They do not run Exchange Server... they run Outlook stand alone on a desktop. To remove this functionality from the Z10 (BB10 overall perhaps) seems at best to be a serious oversight.
I wish BB the best with the Z10 and hope to see it do well. For me, I had to make a choice between the efficiency and effectiveness of syncing Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with the Torch, or hand feeding and maintaining thousands of constantly changing entries into what is undoubtedly a more powerful and wonderful looking Z10. Efficiency and effectiveness won over brawn and beauty. The Torch is back on line... It's a tool... a really great tool! Tomorrow it will process a hundred emails, numerous SMS messages, a few BBM's, keep me on time and feed me a bunch of useful phone numbers and addresses as it has for a couple of years now. It will also spend an hour or so teathered to my laptop at a remote location where there is cell coverage but no internet. It will NOT display any movies, tweats, twits, or facebook stuff that I won't have time to look at anyway. The fast, powerful, shiny Z10 is heading in an RMA bag back to Telus.
I have a sort of sick feeling in my gut and hope to be able to sync again in the future!

my feelings and my situation excatly

it seems like pc suite did not know that there are differences between phone db and pc suite db because they had the same "change number". i thinks this value would be reseted after upgrade but for any reason did not do it.

Sync Contacts & Calendars not selected in iTunes, iPhone seems to sync

My phone seems to be keeping everything in sync, but in under the Info tab in iTunes, "Sync Contacts," "Sync Calendars," and "Sync Mail Accounts" are not selected.
In the recent past, I assumed that this was a problem and I clicked on the boxes. When I did, it screwed everything up (created duplicate contacts, etc.). Since I'm using iCloud, do I no longe need to have these boxes selected?

Did you try clicking the toggle in iTunes that allow you to select the calendars manually? I think it's on the second tab in iTunes when the iPhone is selected.

IPhone 3G cannot sync contacts/calendar with iTunes 7.7 in Vista

My environment:
Computer - PC
OS - Windows XP Pro SP2
Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2003
Laptop Vaio FZ21M
OS - Windows Vista SP1
Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2007
When I connect my iPhone 3G to the laptop, iTunes launch, but in Info tab I don't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. The only message that appears is "Your contacts are being pushed to your iPhone over the air from Microsoft Exchange"
On the other hand when I connect iPhone 3G to desktop with Windows XP SP2, I get the option to sync contacts with Outlook/Gmail Address Book/Yahoo Address Book, etc. Today I performed an update to iTunes, installing version 7.7.046 ,but the problem persists.
A collegue of mine has excactly the same problem, he is also using a laptop running Windows Vista SP1 , iTunes 7.7 but Outlook 2003 instead. When he connects iPhone 3G, he doesn't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. Email sync option is available.
Is there anything we can do?

I had the same problem with my 3G phone. I solved it as follows
1) Go to preferences in your address book and delete the iCloud. This will revert your address book to 'On My Mac'.
2) Turn off your iCloud account in system preferences.
3) Run iTunes, enable sync contacts and under advanced, replace information on this phone, enable contacts.
4) Press apply button and sync should begin. Itunes will now load your contact file into the phone.
5) Re-enable your iCloud account.

Sync contacts/calendar problem with 160gb classic

I've been unable to successfully sync contacts and calendars with my Windows PC (running XP).
I am using software version 1.1.1 and iTunes version 7.6.0.29.
When I try and sync with my Outlook calendar, the iPod/iTunes appears to be syncing. When I disconnect the iPod and look in the calendar, no events are saved. When trying to sync contacts, I check the "sync contacts from" box and then pull down to "microsoft outlook". As soon as I attempt to hit the "microsoft outlook" pull-down, iTunes freezes. I've not had any issues syncing music, podcasts, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help!

The easy way is just to do a restore. In the future, I wouldn't work on my iTunes library files while the iPod is connected. It seems to me that iTunes already uses a HUGE chunk of system resources, and having the iPod connected just uses even more. Then when you start changing ID3 tags ("Get Info"), it can really cause the system to CHUG. If you don't believe me, try just changing one ID3 tag on a 1.5GB movie file. iTunes practically takes over the computer until it's darned good and ready to do something else.
Or, I'd download [Tagger|http://tvtagger.wordpress.com>, which doesn't use nearly as many resources as iTunes, and allows you to edit many more ID3 fields than iTunes does.
