To pass contacts created on my iphone to my pc

i have created a number of contacts on my iphone but they dont sync to my outlook on my pc, I´ve tried creating groups, but the option on the Itunes does not ligth up.
what can I do?

Ok if you have it setup to back up to icloud and not clicked in itunes to backup to itunes, then it will not give you the option in itunes to do this. Reconnect your phone to itunes, click on your phones name to get the phone info on the front screen, then scroll down and click backup to this computer and also turn off icloud back while you do this, then after your done turn it back on.

Contacts created on my iPhone won't sync anymore (iOS 6 & 10.6.8)

Hi,
Contacts created on my iPhone don't sync with Mac (= are not visible in Address Book).
I have this problem since I made the iOS 6 update (iPhone 4 / iOS 6.1.2 / Mac OS 10.6.8 / iTunes 11.0.2 / USB sync).
I tried disabling / enabling Contacts sync in iTunes. No effect.
Using iCloud and/or upgrading to Lion is not a solution for me.
Haven't found any solution yet. Others have the same issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20363944#20363944
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21481733#21481733
The only clue I've got is the following: using a freeware to backup my phone contacts (by searching in the backup file of the phone created by iTunes), I noticed that the freeware finds the same number of contacts (856) on my phone that Address Book displays on the Mac — yet the iPhone should have 2 more (or the mac 2 less), since I created 2 contacts on the phone that don't display on the mac. So maybe, just maybe, it's a "visibility attribute" problem? I'm not technician.
This issue is very irritating, basically there's no "synchronization" per se anymore.
Thanks in adavance for any help you may provide.

There have been some reports of this with iTunes 9.1. There is a new update that may fix it. Use the "check for updates" in the iTunes Help menu.
If that fails try completely uninstalling iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, download the latest iTunes from the Apple site, then reboot and install the downloaded iTunes. Be sure Outlook is not running during the removal or installation processes.
Oh, BEFORE you do any of the above make sure iTunes is still set to sync with Outlook (on the Info tab). Try the simple stuff first!

Contacts created on the iPhone do not get synced to Outlook Contacts

For some reason, contacts created on the iPhone do not get transferred over to Outlook Contacts.
I sync the iPhone to my work computer for Calendar and Contacts. I sync to my home iMac for tunes, video, and photos. So far this is the only problem I've encountered. Calendar entries created on iPhone sync to Outlook Calendar ok (and vice-versa). My iTunes sync setting on the work PC is Sync contacts with Outlook. All Contacts. The other two choices ("Selected Groups" and "Put new contacts created on this iPhone into the Group") are greyed out and unavailable.
I'd appreciate any advice....

I have been unable to sync Outlook 2002 and iPhone 2G since I upgraded to 7.7 and 2.0. Don't want to have to upgrade outlook but will do so if I know it will work. Anybody not having the problem???
I have spent hours trying to resolve. Please help

Is it possible to pass contacts from pc to iphone 5?

is it possible to pass contacts from pc to iphone 5?

Hello yoseba,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to move or sync contacts on your PC with your iPhone 5.
Depending on which application on your PC stores your contacts, you may be able to sync them with your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud.
For example, iCloud will sync contacts from Outlook 2007 or later, as mentioned in the System requirements for iCloud.
You can find the steps to set up iCloud or iTunes to sync on these support pages:
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group...

When I go into iTunes with my phone synced, and then go to the info tab and Contacts, the check box for "put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group" is greyed out. How can I...ungrey it?
EDIT: Solved my own problem. For those of you who are also wondering, I first had to create multiple groups in Address Book. Then it allowed to me check the "Select Groups" box, and the "put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group" box. Problem solved!

Contacts created on iPhone not being added to Address Book

I want to sync all my Address Book contacts to the iPhone, which is working fine, but any contacts created on the iPhone are not copied to Address Book during syncing, which is rubbish.
In iTunes I currently have 'All contacts' selected for sync. Am I overlooking some iPhone setting somewhere?

I tried erasing all the phone data as you suggested, but to no effect whatsoever (apart from having to setup my email/wifi etc. all over again).
There's definitely something strange going on with the iPhone -> Mac connection. iPhoto shows the iPhone as being connected, even when it's not, and is still showing 23 pictures, which is what was on the phone before I reset it (they are now gone from the phone). iPhoto also calls it 'Apple iPhone', while I've changed the name to something else.
Calendar syncing is still functioning flawlessly, but contacts created on the phone are still not being transferred.
What's more, the contacts I added to the iPhone before I reset all the data were still on the phone afterwards.

Contacts ok on mac & iphone, but missing in icloud

Something strange happened. My contacts on Mac and iPhone are the same but on the icloud website some are missing. I think the most recent added after I updated to Mountain Lion are missing. But I am not 100 percent if this did not already happen before.
So contacts created on the mac show up on the iphone but NOT on the icloud site
Contactes created on the iphone show up on my mac but not on the iphone website
And groups to which I added contacts on the mac show up twice on my iphone, one old group with the contact not added and one new group with the contact added. On my mac I have only one version of that group.
On the iphone website the group is the old one with no added contacts.
Any idea what to do except back up frequently and archive my contacts every day?

I'd wait. iCloud (or parts of it) seems to be down today (check the other icloud forums for more posts on email problems). Perhaps your problem is due to the down servers. The day may come back - check for posts that claim iCloud is back up.

Properties won't open in Outlook 2007 for contacts created in iPhone

The contacts synched from my iPhone to Outlook but when I try to open the contact, it get an error message that the properties dialog box cannot open because an invalid ENTRYID was passed in. I have check software versions, made sure the Trust Center has the correct information and no luck. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Hey Lizzybyrd,
The solution that worked for me was to EXPORT my contacts OUT of outlook (as a Windows CSV file), and then re-import them into outlook. This sorted out the error I kept getting, which is the same as your description.
The only thing to look out for are the options given to you when you re-import your address book back in... I forgot what they were, but you don't want to create duplicate contacts. you want to merge them i think. Its logical when you read the options.
Hope this works out.

Contacts Created on iPhone not syncing over to Address Book on laptop.

Contacts created in Address Book on laptop do sync over to iPhone - no problem - but not the other way around. I must retype contacts daily created in the field to laptop. Apple specialist unable to find the problem. Passed on to engineering, end of January. Haven't heard a word.
It worked fine until I updated 1.1.3. I had many issues after that update and am really leary of 1.1.4 after reading threads here. Have not updated.
Also drives me crazy having to spin that stupid wheel to find contacts. Come on do designers actually use this thing?
On the whole I'm happy with the iphone

I tried erasing all the phone data as you suggested, but to no effect whatsoever (apart from having to setup my email/wifi etc. all over again).
There's definitely something strange going on with the iPhone -> Mac connection. iPhoto shows the iPhone as being connected, even when it's not, and is still showing 23 pictures, which is what was on the phone before I reset it (they are now gone from the phone). iPhoto also calls it 'Apple iPhone', while I've changed the name to something else.

IPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.3) Exchange 2003 Contacts created on iPhone will NOT sync w Exchange

if a contact is created in Exchange (via Outlook or OWA) it will sync into the iPhone flawlessly. But if it is created on the iPhone, it WILL NOT go into Exchange. I sync to my PC; I make sure enough time has passed for a iPhone sync-still DOES NOT WORK.
HELP PLEASE

This sounds very much like the sync is set to the wrong account when you have more than one email account you must set the correct account to be the one to sync to.... in settings mail contacts and calendars check to see which is the default account... and ensure the exchange one is the default account if that is what you want to sync with ref contacts. Also do this in the calendars section at the bottom default calendar. i have this a lot with my directors they add entries into the iphone calendar and not the exchnage caledar and wonder why they are not syncing !!!! you can also see this in calendars itself their is a tab in the top left corner showning which calendars are being used, also each calendar entry will tell you which calendar it is using

Contacts created on iPhone won't sync with exchange, only via USB

When I create a new contact on my iPhone from within the phone app, it doesn't get synced to my exchange server, in fact it doesn't show up anywhere in the contacts app or under contacts in the phone app. If I create a new contact from the contacts app it only allows me to create it in my exchange contacts folder but it does sync properly. When I create a contact from within the phone app I am not given a choice of group at all and unless I have a recent call from that contact, it is nowhere to be found on my phone or computer. So the question is how do I get new contacts created on my phone from within the phone app to sync with exchange? The only way I have been able to sync contacts created within the phone app thus far has been with iTunes via USB which works fine but I want to sync contacts bidirectionally via exchange ota.
Thanks for any help

I have more information to share.
When you launch the Contacts app on the iPhone, hit the "Groups" button in the top left. What I see on that page are these 3 sections:
All Contacts >
From My Mac
All From My Mac >
Group A >
Group B >
Group C >
etc
Foobar (Exchange)
Foobar Global Address List >
After many hours of trial and error, I have come to the understanding that the iPhone Contacts app has potentially multiple data stores which seem to correspond to each sync source configured (eg AddressBook, Exchange, etc.) Refering to my example above, I have enabled Contacts syncing with my AddressBook (via iTunes) and an Exchange mail account, so my iPhone shows 2 separate sections with the generic "All Contacts" appearing as the first section at the top.
Entering the contact listings page via the "All Contacts" button will show an integrated list of contacts from all sync sources (in my case, two: contacts from AddressBook on my Mac and contacts from my Foobar Exchange account).
If you click the "+" button to add a new contact when you have entered the listing page via "All Contacts", it seems the record is only stored on the iPhone and does NOT get sync'd. Specifically, it does not get synced to the Mac AddressBook nor to the Exchange account.
However, if you have entered the listings page via any group in the "From My Mac" section or "Foobar (Exchange)" section, and create a new contact via the "+" button there, that contact DOES get sync'd to the appropriate sync source (AddressBook or Exchange in my case).
Furthermore, if you enter the listings page via a specific group in the "From My Mac" section (eg "Group A") and create a new contact from in there, it will appear in "Group A" in AddressBook after sync. If you enter the listings page via the generic "All From My Mac" button, then the new contact will be added to whatever group you have specified in iTunes (under the iPhone Info tab etc. as mentioned in the prior post).
All up, I guess, there may not be a bug here after all. I must simply always remember to add new contacts when I am in the "All From My Mac" section, if I want them to be synced to my Mac.
However, I do think that it's a confusing and poor user experience (and may lead to loss of data) if you add new contacts from the generic "All Contacts" entry point, because they will NOT be synced as you'd expect them to. I am guessing this also might only happen when you have multiple sync sources defined, simply because the app doesn't know which sync source to associate them with: AddressBook or Exchange? But, at the point of adding that new contact, the app should prompt you for the sync source to use, or at least WARN you that your contact is going to be an orphan record solely residing forever more on your iPhone. If you ever reset your iPhone those contact records would be lost forever.

Contacts created in iphone do not synchro to outlook

Hi everyone,
First of all, sorry if this topic is repeated. I have been searching just in case but I did not find it.
The problem I have is as follows: the contacts created directly on the iphone are not syncrhonizing with Outlook 2007. So, if I create a new one with the iphone this is not copy to Outlook. If it helps, the iphone contacts groups I have are: "All", and below "From my Pc" is "All of my Pc".
I have an iphone 3GS and, as I said, using Outlook 2007 to manage contacts.
Thanks in advance (and sorry if my English is not 100% accurate...)
Best regards,

I'm sorry, I missed your earlier reply. You do have the option to reset the sync history in iTunes, by going into Edit>Preferences>Devices, and then reset sync history. Have you done a reset on the iPhone? It is unusual that you have syncing going on with the iPhone in one way and not the other, usually it is the other way around.
See if a reset of the phone helps. To reset, hold the power and home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo and then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen. This does a reset of the phone OS but does not hurt any of the data. Then try adding a contact and see if it will sync.

How can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

how can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

On your Mac, for duplicates, switching Contacts off then back on in System Preferences > iCloud may prevent duplicates.
On the iPhone / iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Contacts and Calendars are swtiched on.
Try restarting your Mac and your iOS devices when items won't sync as they should.
To restart an iOS device: Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

Sorry. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Each iPhone user should have their own cloud accounts with which to sync contacts.
The iPhone is not a multi-user device.
