Syncing contacts to outlook

Well I cant figure why it wont do this. I have tried and it never sync's the contacts into outlook on my computer. BTW I am using a pc with windows XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can, but to be honest I remember having some problems on my original iPhone where my phone contacts were wiped out on the first sync. Most likely I had no clue what I was doing, but I can't see any option in iTunes where I can tell the iPhone to overwrite Outlook.
What "should" happen when you do the first sync is that it synchronizes, and puts whatever is in Outlook on your iPhone, and whatever is on your iPhone on Outlook. Perhaps someone else can chime in here and comment because it has been a while since I did it.
This time around I used MobileMe. MobileMe lets me decide whether I want to merge my contacts or delete them from the iPhone, so I was all set there. MobileMe then takes my information and syncs it with my Outlook so everyone is in sync.

  • 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.

  • Unable to sync contacts from outlook 2003 (windows) - HELP

    I'm having issues syncing contacts from outlook 2003 (windows)- nothing comes over - any thoughts?
    -IBM Laptop - Windows XP/SP2, latest phone software has been updated

    If the iphone goes through the sync and nothing is moved to the iphone, there might be something blocking the sync.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help in finding out if there is something blocking the sync.

  • Sync contacts from outlook 2007 to gmail problem

    Hello everybody! I have an issue when I use the sync zone in order to sync contacts from outlook 2007 to gmail with pc companion 2.10.065
    The problem is that some certain fields (like "work 2" number) do not sync at all.
    Other fields (like the "webpage" field) sync on some contacts and do not sync on some other contacts.
    Is there a workaround on that?

    I have just tested this and it seems just as you say that any second number of the same category won't be synced. I think this is a limitation at Google not matching/supporting the exact same PIM filed's.
    However I could not replicate the problem with the web page field.

  • Syncing contacts from Outlook

    I have been importing my contacts from Outlook. However, now I have many duplicates in my iPod Nano that I want to remove. Syncing again does not remove them.
    How do you delete contacts from the Nano?

    Barry posted this solution on another thread:

    I restored the Nano and downloaded iPodSync from http://www.ipod-sync.com/. I exported my outlook contacts as individual vCards.

  • How to one way sync contacts to outlook

    I have edited my contact on the iPhone, and have Windows 7 with outlook. I want to clear my outlook contacts and snyc one way from the phone to my PC. The first time I tried this it wiped my phone and I had no contacts. I did backup outlook with a PST files but lost what was done on the phone. Can you sync just one way to the PC, in advanced it looks like you can check a box and go from the PC to the phone, but not the other way. I heard something about a merge option but can't seem to find that, I am a new iPhone 4S user.

    It is possible to replace all contacts on the iPhone with the contacts in a supported address book app on your computer, but not the other way around.
    If the supported address book app on your computer is empty and your iPhone includes contacts, all contacts on your iPhone will be erased.
    Enter one contact in Outlook and this should provide a merge prompt, which you want to select. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later.

  • Syncing contacts to OUTLOOK changes the display format

    When I sync to OUTLOOK, the names show up as LAST, FIRST...even though I have set it to be FIRST, LAST in OUTLOOK....and does anyone know of conduit or syncing software that will change the fields in OUTLOOK to be the same as in iPhone (or vice versa) so that all data is found in the same fields when looking at iPhone contacts or OUTLOOK contacts? Thanks.

    and if I open a contact in iPhone, hit Edit, and tap the name, the first name is the first (and only) thing in the first field
    That is how its supposed to be. When you edit an contact on the iPhone and tap the name, you can see a box with up to four rows. The first name should be on the first row, the Last name should be in the second row, the title in the third row, and the company in the fourth row. If you have no title or company, then you only see two rows. If you have a contact with only company name, you will see three rows, with the first one saying "First" in light grey, the second saying "Last" in light grey, and the company name in the third row.
    How its set to display in Outlook should have no bearing on how it displays on the iPhone. I have mine showing in Outlook using the field, and on the iPhone I use First Last (but sorted Last First).
    So what you are saying is that when you sync, your Outlook changes the way it displays your contacts?

  • Syncing Contacts between Outlook, MobileMe, GMail, etc..... ***?!?!?!

    Hi Everyone,
    Is anyone else totally bamboozled by the 'logic' applied by iTunes when it comes to syncing contacts on the iPhone with multiple databases...?
    I use Outlook, GMail, Hotmail and MobileMe - and what an absolute dog's breakfast the iPhone has made of my contacts list! I now have some contacts appearing 5 or more times (9 is the record). I'm afraid the syncing is VERY unintelligent.
    My Nokia N96 (worst phone EVER) was much better at sorting these things out - why cannot Apple achieve this so like everything else, "it just works"...?
    Come on Apple! Intelligent control over contacts, please?!!!
    BTW - I found an app that deduplicates contacts in the iPhone, or rather, it has a go. Takes several passes for it to sort itself out. I DREAD to think what it will do on the next sync with my PC..!!

    Hi Glenn,
    I think iCloud has been the root of the problem. For some reason, iCloud only sync some numbers of my contacts, not all. Where if i select On My Mac, it has all my contacts; this one because i have sync it with my Outlook the first time i got my Mac.
    Yesterday I lost all of my contacts On My Mac, and this makes me lost the same contacts on my iPhone. the one that is left are the ones that iCloud has.
    Now i cannot seem to sync Outlook with Adress Book.
    Just exported Outlook contacts with .olm format, but when i want to import it to Adress Book, it's not compatible (can't select the file).
    Question:
    1. How do I temporarily 'turn off' iCloud sync so i can sync my Outlook contact to Adress Book first
    2. I cannot find the prefs of "On My Mac contacts is enabled for outside syncing other applications" or "On My Mac contacts will not sync to iClouds contacts." for that matter.
    sorry if it's a silly question, im quite a newbie when it comes to working with OS X.
    thanks in advance.

  • Iphone4 won't sync contact with Outlook/Exchange 2007 - can't afford to lose these contacts either

    Hello,
    I have a user who has been using an iPhone 4 for over a year now, and has built up a large list of Contacts on the device. Unfortunately, unlike every other iPhone user, his Contacts have not been sync'ing with Outlook.
    I know I can go into "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calendar", Contacts and "Default Account" and change it here. However, I do not want to lose any of these iPhone Contacts. I would like to be able to back them up, and then sync them into Outlook.
    Can someone please advise on the safest steps to do this?
    Thank you,
    Liam

    I haven't tried it since we force encrypt our backups through IPCU, but is looks intriguing and like it might work for you.  According to their web page they export backed up contacts to a csv file so they could be imported into the Outlook client....hope this helps. 

  • Syncing contacts with Outlook removes "display as" name in Outlook

    *MacBook Air
    *VMware with XP SP2 and Outlook 2007
    *Outlook account is "@mac.com" setup as IMAP
    When syncing contacts, the email address is stripped from the outlook address book. The info is still there in Outlooks "Contacts", but not in the "Address Book".
    The Address Book is access from Tools > Address Book. Or when creating a new email and pressing the "To:" button.
    After the iPhone syncs with Outlook, the Outlook email addresses are stripped from the "To:" address book making it impossible to add a usable email address to the new message. A name shows up in the "To:" field, won't send, b/c Outlook doesn't recognize an email addy connected with the name.
    Does your address book maintains email addresses after a sync?

    Contacts and Calendar sync correctly otherwise.
