Syncing deletes some contacts in outlook and creates duplicates on iPhone

I've got an odd problem here and I'm not sure how long it's been going on ...
I have an iPhone 5s running iOS7.0.6
I have a Windows Vista PC running Outlook 2007
Itunes is V11.1.3.8
I do NOT use iCloud or a Microsoft Exchange server
It is just a local sync. from my PC to my iPhone....
(I was TRYING to keep it simple )
I have been sync-ing my iPhone to Outlook for some months mostly successfully,
but have recently noticed an odd problem ... a few of my contact records are disappearing from Outlook and being DUPLICATED on the iPhone.
That is to say: These contact records that have been deleted from Outlook appear TWICE on my iPhone ...
I'm not sure how many records are affected but it appears to be a small number.
I searched but could not find anyone with similar problem .... any suggestions appreciated!

Hello jimbob5941,
It sounds like you are seeing some unexpected issues when locally syncing Outlook contacts with your phone. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue, named:
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2776
Here are the first couple of steps to get you started, but there are additional steps if you need them in the article:
Make sure your software is up to date
It is recommended that you use the latest version of your software:
Use Windows Update to keep your computer up to date.
Use Apple Software Update to keep your Apple software used during syncing up to date.
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software.
Which option are you using to store your data in Microsoft Outlook?
By default, your Outlook data is stored in Personal Folders format (PST) unless you are using an Exchange Server to access your data. If you are using Outlook with an Exchange Server, your data may be stored in an OST file if you have Cached Exchange Mode turned on. An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch syncing via iTunes will sync with the default PST or OST file. When using an OST file, only information stored locally, or cached on your computer, will be available to sync.
Note: You may be able to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch directly with your Exchange server. For more information on syncing directly with an Exchange server, contact your Exchange Administrator. There are resources for Exchange Administrators, including the iPhone Enterprise Deployment guide onwww.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Download CRM Contact into Outlook and Create vcard in Outlook.

Is it possible to Download a CRM Contact into Outlook and Create vcard in Outlook? I can't seem to find a way to even download the contacts full details.

You can use PIM Sync to download your contact from CRM On Demand to Outlook or you can export your contacts from CRM On Demand and then import them into Outlook. However, I do not believe this will create a vcard.

I've deleted some contacts, but when I create a new text it will still suggest the deleted contact. I want that to stop.

I've deleted some contacts but when I create a new message it still suggests the deleted contact. How do I permanently delete that information?

Restoring should not be the only solution !
Apple should work on fixing this issue.
The option is available when u email,
A blue arrow appears and when u click it,
It asks if u want to remove it permanently
So i think the phone # after u send a sms/text
Should be able to be deleted at will.
Apple team get to work ! Lol
Thnks

Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

I accidently deleted some contacts that I need. I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts in icloud. Is there a way to reload these deleted contacts using my IPAD and icloud?

I accidently deleted some contacts that I still need. Because of Icloud they are now deleted on all my devices such as my Iphone and PC (outlook). I still have them on my IPAD because I disabled my contacts on Icloud on my IPAD. Is there a way to reload these contacts from my IPAD back to my Iphone and PC using Icloud? Thank you.

Hi mth3333,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can sync the contacts on your iPad with your computer. See this article for the steps:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Regards,
Jeremy

My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes
This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

Hi, I need to take my daughter off from our Apple account and set up her own. So, delete her from one account and create her own. Realize I sound imbecilic for not knowing how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you so much. Jules

You don't have to take her off your account exactly: she needs to sign out from your account on her computers and devices. Then she can obtain an Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and use it to sign into System Preferences or Settings>iCloud.
However, there are some issue about this. If she has been syncing her calendars and contacts to your account then the data will disappear from her devices, but remain on your account. Individual calendars can be exported as .ics files and reimported into her account, but if she has her contacts mixed up with yours she will have to enter them individually in the new account (or export yours, import them into hers, and delete the ones she doesn't want.
More intractable is the email issue. She cannot move an address from your account to hers, so if she has been using a alias on your account to have her own address she cannot transfer it. She will have to create a new email address.

IPAD3 does not automatically update after deleting a contact from Outlook 2010 over ICloud

I've noticed that when deleting a contact on my IPAD 3, it automatically deletes the contact on my PC (Outlook 2010 set up for ICloud). However it doesn't work or update the other way around.
I can edit an existing contact on Outlook, or add a new contact on Outlook, and that always updates on the IPAD3.. But it doesn't update on the IPAD when deleting from Outlook which is strange.
If I delete all the contacts on the IPAD and then re-sync once again to ICloud, then it is as it should be and any previously deleted PC contacts, do not show on the IPAD.
Any thoughts as to what might be happening?

Hi Kumar,
Please remove the codeline $List.Update();, then run your code again, it works for me.
You may need to firstly delete the synced contacts list within Outlook to remove those undeleted accounts, then re-connect the SharePoint contacts list to outlook, then run your modified Powershell code.
Thanks

How do I export calendar and contact files in Outlook and import them into iphone 4. I operate Mac OS X at home and wish to carry my work information with me on my iPhone.

You do not export anything.
Instead, sync the content from Outlook to your device via iTunes.
Try reading the manual, it's included on the device or here.
