Syncing iPhone 4 with Outlook 2011, Lion OS X

I have within the last two weeks switched from Windows 7 to a MacBook Pro, Lion OS X.  I have the latest updates of Outlook 2011 as well as Lion.  Under Windows, my iPhone sync'ed my contacts with Outlook 2007 perfectly, including my folders (I only sync contacts).  The move to Lion has not been a smooth one in this regard.
Before I installed Outlook, I had my iPhone sync with iTunes, and it appeared my contacts showed up on Address Book, groups/folders included.  It was probably a couple of days before I installed Office/Outlook.  When I put Outlook on I set up Sync Services, as I read up that Outlook syncs with Address Book, which syncs with my iPhone, and initially that appeared to work as planned.  It is no longer sync'ing.
Another issue.  All of my groups in my Address Book are gone, and I have several blank vCards.  My normal contact count is around 1,500.  I have about 4,000 blank vCards.  Also, looking at iTunes there are no longer any groups to sync with.  In the past, even though I sync all my contacts, you could see the groups below in the Select Groups panel.
My main issue is getting everything to sync again, groups/folders included.

Update, it looks to be sync'ing, just not with my folders.  So I deleted the 4,000 blank vCards.
There is another twist to this that I had not mentioned.  My folders were erased on my iPhone thanks to a Google/Gmail contacts sync.  However, my folders are still very much intact on Outlook.  In fact, that's how I noticed it was actually sync'ing.  I added four new contacts yesterday to my iPhone, and all four showed up in the folder I set up for "Outlook folder to add new items to:" via Sync Services.
So it syncs with THAT folder.  : )
So how do I get it to sync my folders from Outlook to my iPhone?
I'm thinking of exporting from Outlook to Address Book.  If I export that would give me a back up copy.  Delete contacts in Address Book (if that's simple to do), then importing from the Outlook file...sync.  Maybe?

  • How do I sync iphone 4 with outlook 2013 ?

    How do I sync iphone 4s with outlook 2013?

    Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
    After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
    iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
    In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Click the Info tab.
    Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
    Do one of the following:
    To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
    To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
    NOTE   To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
    Click Apply.

  • Can you Sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013

    Can you sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013? Everything mail, contacts and calender.

    Hey Mark
    I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
    We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.
    If you want to check it out: www.connex.io or you can send me an e-mail if you would like some more info: [email protected]
    I hope this helps you out.

  • How to Sync iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (64-bit)

    I used to sync my iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (32-bit) with no problems at all.  I have changed ove to the 64-bit Outlook for reasons I do not need to mention here.  I am now unable to set up to sync with Calendars, Notes and Tasks.
    When I setup to sync using iCloud Contro panel, the setup runsa dn advises that it HAS been set up innOutlook.  But in Outlook, there is no relevant tab or folder (as was the case in Outlook 2013 32-bit).
    The Outlook for iCloud add-in is present in Outlook and there are no error messages.
    I believe( from a Microsoft forum) that this may be because Microsoft moved the registry location of Outlook's mail profiles for Outlook 2013.  They used to be under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Windows Messaging Subsystem/Profiles but now they're under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/15.0/Outlook/Profiles. Apparently this is to provide the ability to have multiple versions of Outlook installed.  I suspect that the iCloud provider does not take this into consideration yet and that Apple will have to address it.
    Am I correct? or is there a way to get the sync to work?

    Yes, I removed iCloud add-on from Outlook; and uninstalled iCloud.  I then re-installed, and sync would not work (no tab for sync in Outlook either). There was no improvement.
    However, since reading your post, I have just tried signing out of icloud control panel and signing in again....and now all si working as it should.  Weird!!
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Sync iPhone 4 with Outlook 2010 via Windows 7

    Is there a fix for this problem?  I have the current updates of Outlook 2010, Windows 7, and iTunes for my iPhone 4.  I cannot sync my iPhone contacts with Outlook.  When I entered new contacts into Outlook, and sync with iPhone, the contact information does not sync.  When I had an earlier version of Outlook, the contact information was sync with my iPhone.  But now, it does not work.  I made an appointment with the Apple support technician and the technician tried to help but he could not resolve the problem.  As indicated by himself, the tech said he was their best tech, and he had not heard of this problem.  Instead, he recommended placing all my contact onto iCloud.  Again, is there a fix for this problem?

    Problems with a calendar sync in Outlook can generally be traced to a corrupt appointment at some time. It can happen from a shutdown in Outlook or any number of other reasons. If you can remember when the trouble began, see if you can locate an appointment on that day. You can also try and reset the sync history in iTunes, and can also run scanpst.exe and troubleshoot your Outlook file.
    I've used every version of Outlook since 2000 and have been able to trace this issue a couple of times to an appointment that has a recurring setting. You can change the view of your appointments and list them. When you do that, you may be able to locate an appointment that doesn't look right. I had to print out all of my appointments once and then reenter them. Luckily I didn't have that many, so it didn't matter. Again, this is usually something corrupt in the Outlook file that will make the problem appear, and since everything else in Outlook is syncing except the calendar, that is the place to look.

  • Syncing iPhone 4 with Outlook & getting Duplicates Contacts

    I am syncing an iPhone 4 using a PC with 2003 outlook. Problem is that some of my contacts are showing duplicates on the iPhone when there are no duplicates in outlook. I have tried several things that have been suggested by others including wiping out contacts on the phone. Deleting all by archived PST files, creating a new PST file and deleting the original. What is perplexing is that if I delete one of the two duplicates off of the iPhone then when syncing it takes the original only copy off of the PC in outlook. Driving me crazy. iPhone & iTunes are up to date as of last night.
    Thanks

    Update, it looks to be sync'ing, just not with my folders.  So I deleted the 4,000 blank vCards.

  • Weird problem syncing iPhone 3G with Outlook. Stopped working?

    Hi,
    I really hope this isn't a repetitive question; I tried searching around the internet and either found no solution that worked, or problems similar but not quite the same as mine.
    Anyhow, I just got an iPhone 3G last week and I'm running a PC with Outlook to sync my phone. The first few days all the syncs went 100%, updates calendar/contacts no problem. Then, this afternoon it stopped working. No matter what updates I make to my Outlook or my iPhone, nothing will sync. I plug in the iPhone and sync through iTunes, it says "syncing" but no longer goes into "syncing contacts" then "syncing calendar" etc. I even tried importing my IE bookmarks and got nothing. It almost seems like iTunes stopped "talking" to Outlook?
    I've tried playing with the settings in the info tab of iTunes, I've played around in the trust center of Outlook, made new data files, etc and I just uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, all doing nothing.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    John

    After almost 1 week of sheer frustrations, I have been unable to connect my Iphone 3G to my exchange server at work.
    I have tried probably every method discussed here, including restoring my iphone 3G several times. My issue has been elevated all the way up to apple engineering, and still no solution.
    It appears that the issue is that I cannot connect because my company is using Exchange server 2003 with SP1.
    I can connect any Windows Smartphone or Pocket PC and it will sync in what seems seconds….very fast. I have used windows phones connected to our server for more than 4 years, never an issue.
    My company has the attitude of we “We don’t want you to connect, you are lucky to be able to use active sync on windows phones!!” So their change is not probable.
    Has anyone found a way to connect Iphone 3G to an Exchange Server 2003, SP1?

  • Sync iphone 4 with outlook 2007 contacts

    I used to have a checkbox to select sync with outlook, but new iTunes (v 11.0.2) now simply says my contacts are synced over the cloud.  However, there are contacts in my outlook 2007 app that are not in my iphone.  How can enable/select/force sync with my outlook 2007 datatbase of contacts??  "Contacts" are "on" in iPhone settings.

    I would love to do this as well. All I need is my calendar appts from outlook. Right now I am using google calendar sync, but I would like to move to the cloud and away from google. I find it hard to believe there isn't an option to do this.

  • Can you sync iphone contacts with outlook two ways?

    When I sync my iphone with outlook using itunes, one contact is not syncing.  The initial sync went fine but subsequent syncs deleted one contact from the desk but left it on the phone.  Is there a two-way sync setting I am missing?
