Syncing with Outlook Contacts

Why doesn't the iPhone use the 'File As' name in the Outlook Contacts? Many of my contacts have both an individual and company name and I usually set the 'File As' to the company name as it is easier for me to remember. When I look use the iPhone I can not find that company by its name, I have to remember the name of the person I entered for that company. Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a way to fix this situation.

Hi Titan,
If you connect SharePoint Contact list to your Outlook through "Connect to Outlook" from list ribbon, then you want to sync contacts addition in Outlook client back to SharePoint Contact list, it should auto sync back to SharePoint list when
we make the changes to the contacts in Outlook 2013 client, if you want to manually sync linked contacts folder back to SharePoint, you can click "Send/Receive All folders" from Outlook 2013 Send/Receive ribbon, then check if the changes have been
pushed back to SharePoint (may need to wait minutes to see the changes from SharePoint list).

Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files.
When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.

why cannot iphone 4s 2way sync with outlook contacts? it says we have to use google calendar, i could not manage it but why we should pay so much money and have to sync pc and iphone contacts manualy..

The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be. There is no setting to enable or disable this.

IPhone no longer syncs with Outlook Contacts/Calendar

For months I was syncing with my computer at home for music and videos, then I bring my iPhone to work and sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar.
Now, when I plug in my iPhone on my work computer, everything operates as it used to, it still says it's syncing contacts, then syncing the calendar, but after it's done, when I look at the calendar or contacts in my iPhone, nothing has changed. It's simply not syncing with Outlook anymore, even though the status bar at the top of iTunes says it is syncing.

It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!

Tell iCloud what to sync.
Have you installed the iCloud control panel on the computer? Without that, nothing will sync from the computer to iCloud.

My iphone won't sync with Outlook contacts or calendar anymore. Any idea how to do this now?

I used to be able to sync my iphone contacts and calendar entries (home calendar) with outlook and now it won't work. How can I fix this?

Does iTunes Show an error message?
How did you setup syncing with Outlook, are you syncing them via iTunes using USB or Wi-Fi or an Exchange server?
For more info on USB syncing and all of the other options, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
If you aren't sure try setting up USB syncing again, just connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes, click the Info tab across the top of the screen, scroll down to Contacts and choose to sync contacts.
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.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

Sync with Outlook contacts.

Hi everybody.
I have trouble whith syncchronizing my iPhone (3GS, 3.1.3) with my contact list on my computer (W7 Integral/Outlook 2007). When a contact is modified on my iPhone (added number for a contact for instance), it is not updated on my computer. The same happens when the contact is modified on my computer.
Can one tell me how to fix this.
Thanks a lot.

I reset the sync history and still can't get contacts or calendar to sync. A friend says that he has also been unable to sync ever since the latest OS was downloaded.
Anything else that I can try? Is there a fix "in the works" for this problem?

Sync with outlook, (notes)

I have a Treo650 and planning to get a 16GB iphone.
(A)
I use the "find" search in the treo a lot (searches contacts, to do, notes for any word I type). Does the iphone phone have this capability ? (or a third party application ?)
(B)
Does iphone sync with outlook, contacts, to do list and notes ?
Someone mentioned the notes may be a problem ? I use these intensively in my Treo, and outlook.
The answers to these questions will make by decision to get the iphone or not.

Thanks for your valuable advise.
Most of the features of iphones, example interface & email browser are exceptional !...
What about the note "talking", how long get these be, can a lecturer be recorded on the iphone ?
I was told the iphone can not copy & paste as well ?? (May be via evernote can ??)
If the following could be rectified, it would be unbeatable...
*The cons are:*
Means I will have to install the software at home & at the office for sync. (evernote)
Its a shame the search is only available on the contacts and with the names.
It would have been perfect if it available as a search field, (can be any characters), and searches emails, contacts, notes,
sms's. etc. (available in Palm, and Black berry & possibly windows mobile)

ICloud not syncing with Outlook

I just installed Outlook on a new Windows 7 PC, after having already had iOS/icloud on my iPhone. Ive set up the iCloud Control panel to sync with Outlook (Contacts & Calanders) and nothing at all... Any ideas?

here from bzpilot:
I have used the solution below to fix mine and others that have run into this issue.
Start --> Programs --> Accessories (Right Click on Command Prompt) --> Run as Administrator
then type in: "Netsh winsock reset" (-without the quotes-)
Hit enter, restart PC, iCloud For PC should now connect without any server errors
(This solutions will work in some instances when trying to fix errors associated when you are unable to connect to iTunes also.)
[end of quotation]
Used it and the pass change and now i can sync the mail, hope it helps you as well.

Fixing iphone sync with outlook

There are multiple threads about problems snycing iTunes with Outlook (iPad, iPhone etc.). This affects Outlook calendar and contacts, often creating multiple contact lists and false calendar entires, often pre-fixed "ModGrp" or ModCal". After multiple tries I think I have figured out what you need to do: here's what worked for me, I hope it works for you.
First the cause. If your PC/Mac has crashed with Outlook open you probably have bad data in Outlook. Most software is fault-tolerant to this but not iTunes (my seventh software to link to Outlook and the only one not fault tolerant, so I'm certain it's an iTunes problem). I have written this for solving contact problems with explanation afterwards for calendars (you'll change item 6 and read the footnote). Read the instructions first so you know what you're about to do. You will have to rename a folder and delete your iPhones history but otherwise that's about it.
1)    Download scanpst.exe from Microsoft, instructions are at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227. Print this, you'll need it at step 5
2)    Close both Outlook and iTunes
3)    Got to C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\
       In File Manager use Folder Options from the Tools menu and select Show hiden files and folders from the View Tab, if you can't see this folder
4)    Rename the folder \SyncServices as \SyncServices.old or something. Once you have finished you can delete this folder
5)    Use scanpst.exe (step 1 above) to fix your Outlook file. Instructions for this are at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227 noted above
6)    When scanpst is complete and has closed, open Outlook and go to your contact list. Select each ModGrp and hit Delete, then confirm deletion
7)    Be sure not to delete any contact lists that you want to retain, then close Outlook
8)    Open iTunes with your iPhone/Pad/iWhatever plugged in to USB and select iPhone/iPad/iWhatever
9)    Select your iWhatever in the Devices list on the left and select Preferences from the Edit menu at the top
10) Click the Devices button in the dialog box and click Reset Snyc History, just in case. Click OK to close the Dialog Box
11) At the top of your iPhone Device window click the Info button (second from the left right at the top)
12) Deselect Contacts, Calendars and Mail options so iTunes doesn't sync with Outlook in any way
      You'll get a prompt to remove contacts/whatever lists from your iWhatever device. Choose the Remove Contacts button
13) Hit Apply or Sync (bottom right of iTunes). This should have cleared iTunes of bad ModGrp sync lists and iPhone contacts etc.
      Next we'll restore these from Outlook
14) Reselect to sync with Outlook Contacts, Calendars and Mail - the options you deselected in step 12. Hit Apply or Sync
      The above should restore all the valid contact and other data from Outlook onto your iPhone etc
15) Once sync has completed reopen Outlook and check the bad MdGrp lists have gone. Unplug iPhone and check you don't have multiple ModGrp lists
I haven't had calender problems but my understanding from posts to this forum is that in step 6 above, you may have to export the appointments calendars from your calendar and then delete the calendar. It's much more involved than having a contacts list problem.
If you choose to tidy up aftwards, go back to steps 3 and 4 and delete the backup .old folder as iTunes created a new one when you opened it at step 8.
I have run the above three times now and it works every time. Since every tenth or so time I open iTunes it causes my PC to lock, usually with Outlook open, so I expect this to be a frequent event. iTunes is well documented as a digustingly bad piece of software and seems to be the penalty we pay for having an iPhone, which actually works. Maybe when Apple adopts Flash I'll buy an iPad and double the number of times I have to run it, but not otherwise. iTunes and Flash are the two main reasons I have not bought a Mac or iPad.
Have fun.

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

Contacts and calendar dont sync with outlook 2013 (win8) - working with IPhone 5S and Ipad air

Dear all,
i just moved to a new PC (former: Sony Vaio pro with win 7 pro, outlook 10 > new: sony vaio duo with win 8, outlook 13 from office 365 home). i used to sync outlook contacts and calendars with blackberry and iphone and ipad on my old notebook using desktop manager from blackberry.
Now with my new PC, ipad and iphone are still working fine and they sync with outlook: new entries on outlook calendar and new contacts are added to my mobile and vice versa but when i connect my Blackberry Bold i don get any of the updates.
i confirm that i am using the latest version of the desktop manager 7.0.
my desktop manager organizer is set up to sync both ways for both calendar and contacts
Any idea please?
thank you in advance for your help
