Syncing follow up of contacts in outlook to BB

It seems that BB has reminders function only in calendar and tasks where Outlook offers this feature in Contacts as well (called Follow Up). Is there any app that does it before RIM figures BB needs it as default? Sync by USB not wireless.
Thx

Hello again,
Sorry for the delay...there was an event this week that consumed pretty much all free time for many who regularly volunteer on these forums.
I'm not sure I'm following you...when I navigate into the VZW download site (via the 2nd link I provided above), I find they are on 4.5.0.186, so I'm unsure where you are seeing that 4.5.0.175 is the latest from VZW nor am I sure how you are winding up back at the BB site...I can easily get, from the VZW site, a download of their latest OS package for your model device.
Nevertheless, if what you are otherwise seeing is telling you that you need to upgrade to 4.6.0.244, then using VZW is moot anyway since they are not supporting a version that high. Consequently, your choice is to move to another carriers OS package that is at the level you require for the fix you say you need. In which case you will need to research all carriers that provide your model BB and see who sells it -- and then use that 2nd link above to find the package you need from whatever carrier has it. Then, still use the instructions provided in the 3rd link, but insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion of a file named VENDOR.XML -- it should be at or close to the folders mentioned in step 2.
Good luck and let us know!

Syncing separate phones, separate contacts in Outlook

My wife and I each have an iphone.
I synced with outlook for my contacts, and I've got all my contact info there, but we have separate profiles on outlook, with separate e-mail accounts and separate contacts.
I can't differentiate how to sync my iphone with my outlook profile and my contacts, and her iphone with her outlook profile, which will hold her contacts.

Let me amplify what I posted earlier. I do not see any way that Itunes will let you choose a profile. The only way it will work is with separate user accounts.
You need to set up two user accounts on your windows machine, one for you and one for your wife. If this is a new login, Outlook will not know anything. You will need to create a profile, associate it with your email, and make your existing Outlook file the default data file. Start iTunes and it should see this profile as the one it will use for mail, contacts, and calendar.
Do the same thing with your wife's login. It is a little work, and you may have to deal with where common files, like music, is kept so that each iTunes setup can see them.

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

Sync calendar and contacts between Outlook 2013 and iPhone 4

I am trying to sync my calendars and contacts between Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Home Premium) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4). I have created a confusing mess for myself and do not recognize all of the calendars that appear in Outlook or the iPhone. I
abandoned the use of the iCloud because the iCloud calendar invitations my coworkers received in MS Outlook are too confusing to read.
Is there a proven process for syncing when i add a new contact or calendar event in one device so that it shows up simultaneously in the other? If the process is too laborious, is there an Outlook add-on?
I have tried the Exchange ActiveSync but I can't get this to work smoothly. I can't move recurring calendar events that started in the past. Further, I have to navigate 2 separate data files in outlook to find the right calendar or inbox.
I am not sure if Exchange and Exchange ActiveSync are the same or not.
Additionally, this is a private domain address (my work email).

Hi,
Basically, Exchange ActiveSync and Exchange are two different sets of protocols, but both of them have the feature to sync contacts and calendars between different devices.
If your company provides an Exchange account for you, just setup it in Outlook Client, it will sync the contacts and calendars between clients and the Server.
If you have an Outlook.com(Hotmail) or any other email account that supports Exchange Activesync, just set it up in Outlook, the contacts and calendars will also sync.
As for iPhone, just make sure it also uses the same protocol.
If there's anything wrong with the account sync on PC, rename the current data file to ".old", let Outlook create a new one to sync, or we can create a new profile to setup the account:

Trying to link Address Book Contacts with Outlook 2011 - iSync??

Hi There,
Would be grateful for some assistance.
I've got all my contacts and other things in iCloud - wonderful!
I've managed to get all my contacts from iCloud to show up in Address book.
I want to sync my address book contacts in Outlook 2011 - after three days of trying I'm still stuck.
I've checked the Syncing set up in Outlook, that appears to be correct.
I've checked addressbook, and other than having two folders one entitles iCloud (which has everything I need in it) and one entitled On my Mac, which has a couple of testers in it but nothing else, everything else seems fine.
I've checked that iCloud is synching into the iCloud folder in Address Book by putting some stuff on my iPhone and seeing it got pushed from the iCloud to my MacBook - all working fine there.
I have read lots of forum posts and keep seeing references to iSync, and how its on all Mac's but then I see people saying that its not on with Lion - I'm running Lion, and I can't find iSync...so this would seem to be true.
Can anyone tell me how I might achieve this sync process - I would much rather be using an integrated programme like Outlook...any thoughts

Enthusiast: I just got back from the Apple Store. This is the solution they suggested and seems to work. We got rid of iCloud contacts. We just set up Yahoo account in the "mail, contacts, calendars" of the iPhone. Under the "contacts" section we have the "default Account" set to Yahoo. When any additions/delete/mods happen then it is updated on Yahoo.
On the MacBook we deleted the "on My Computer" and deleted "iCloud" and then added the Yahoo account for synching. This is basically used as a secondary backup for the yahoo contact and used if using the computer. It is not necessary to use the computer for any of this.
I've been having lots of problems with Yahoo contacts. I had previously pulled in facebook contacts. This was NOT a good idea. I cleaned up my contacts, exported them out to CSV. Scrubbed some more. Imported them to a new yahoo account. Then deleted all contacts from my main Yahoo, permanently deleting them. Then imported my contacts. I did lose all my "lists" settings. That was a small price to pay.
Now iPhone, iPad and MacBook address book and Yahoo are all in sync.
I was shown at the store is to refresh the Yahoo webpage (CTRL R) and then refresh the contacts on the iPhone. There is a slight delay in update. iCloud is faster at it. But its best to avoid iCloud if you are using Yahoo contacts. Also avoid Facebook contacts. If you really want to use the Facebook feature, I would do it on a different account and then bring in the contacts that you want through an import.
I was having problems with Yahoo contacts and it might be that it was being flaky or they were experiencing problems ... because all of a sudden it started working again. I've seen similar problems with Yahoo Calendar.

I am unable to synce my contacts from outlook in xp to my ipad 3 have followed all instructions without success

I am unable to sync my contacts from outlook in xp to my ipad 3 have followed all instructions without success. Can any one help

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

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.

.m4r files sync but don't appear AND outlook contacts won't add to iphone?

hi guys,
This is my first post, made just a day after I got my iphone.
Now don't get me wrong, i love the iphone, but i'm worried i might have to send it back due to 2 glitches:
1) I exported all my contacts onto my computer from my old k800i, then imported them into contacts on outlook. Then I synced my iphone to outlook through itunes and it appears to be doing something on the itunes bar only for me to open my phone when it's done and the contact list is empty. It's synced the calender and itunes music thought.
2) I sent some ringtones to my friend who has a mac (I have a PC) and he changed them to .m4r files on that garage program on the mac, then he sent them back, i dragged them into the ringtone folder and they appeared. I went on itunes and they appear in the iphone tone menu, i sync with the actual phone and after saying it's done they don't appear in the tone menu on the phone.
That's 2 annoying things, do I need to send it back?
Any help would be great, thanks for your time.

Use MFCMAPI to delete the Reminders Folder, then run "outlook.exe /resetfolders" to recreate this folder:

Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
icloud still works.
Cant help with the Outlook problem.

I can sync icloud calender with pc based outlook calender. But contacts do not sync. Could anyone help me with this?

I can sync icloud calender with pc based outlook calender. Photos also sync. But can not sync contacts. Already checked contact boxes in icloud and and on my PC. Also tried to reset Document & Data on icloud. Could anyone help me on that?

That's what I did... switching on iCloud calender in the panel leads to the following: The existing local Outlook calendar gets mved to an new iCloud calendar.Thus the local calendar is empty.
Given that iTunes dows not allow my whife's phone to be synced with that iCloud calendar (only the local acalendar appears in the list of available calendars in iTunes; syncing all dioes not include the iCloud one) this leads to an empty alendar on my whife's phone.
Hence the question how to
a) get iTunes to include the iCloud calendar to sync with the iPhone 2g (preferred) or
b) enable a local MS Outlook internal sync between the two calendars.

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:
contact sync problems with iTunes you may be interested in the following fix:
I restored the Nano and downloaded iPodSync from http://www.ipod-sync.com/. I exported my outlook contacts as individual vCards.

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.

IPad 2 Contacts sync with Exchange server and change Outlook custom form

Following iPad synchronizing Contacts, we find that our custom form in Outlook is pushed back to the Microsoft default “IPM:Contact”.
It appears that only the first 500 [approximation] contacts are affected. There are 5k contacts and we are seeing no other patterns.
We are not expecting an iOS Contact will resemble that of MS-Contacts, at the same time we are puzzled how iPad is rejecting and then causing ActiveSync to force change to the Exchange server.
Has anyone else experienced this, and can perhaps recommend a workaround?
Environment
MAC iPad2 iOS v4.3.5 attached using ActiveSync
Exchange 2003 SP2
Users are with either Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010
Thank you very much.
Best Regards.

I'm excited to finally sync my work email with my iPhone. Our IT didn't support it and we work off of an Exchange server. I, too, was nervous about which contacts to sync. While I want my work email, I don't need my contacts and would rather have mine from my mac at home. Unfortunately, you can only do one at a time. The following paragraph is from a c net review. Find the entire article here (the part about the Exchange Server is about 1/2 way down):
http://reviews.cnet.com/apple-iphone-3g/
//Once you're ready to go, the iPhone will sync your Outlook e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Be advised that while the iPhone can support multiple POP3 accounts at once (two Yahoo accounts, for instance), it syncs with only one Exchange server and, worse, with only with one calendar or contacts list at a time. If you have a separate personal calendar, your work calendar will replace it once you start the sync. (You'll be notified before it happens.)//
Hope this helps!

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.
