Trouble syncing Contact addresses to iphone 5
I just upgraded from an iphone 3g to an iphone 5. I also upgraded my ios to 7. I have always synced my outlook contacts and calendar with my phone. However, after this upgrade, I noticed SOME of my outlook addresses are missing from my phone contacts. They are still on my laptop, but not the phone, and it is only some of the addresses. I can't find any rhyme or reason as to which transferred and which didn't. I tried syncing again, but didn't correct the problem. Any thoughts or fixes???? At the same time my husband bought an iphone 5 (his first iphone) and we have syncd his phone to the same laptop and the same problem happened on his phone.
You need to creat more spaceby deleting more content or you can update via itunes on your computer.

How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?
How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).
The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option. -
ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred
When I connect my iPhone to my iMac (OSX version 10.6.6), and open iTunes and select "sync" - everything syncs (my Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, books, Photos and Calendars). However, I get an error message popping up saying: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred while merging data".
I have unchecked the contacts button in iTunes and then sync works fine.
I have deleted all my contact in my Address Book on my iMac and tried to sync. Again, same error message as above.
I have not tried to restore the iPhone as I am worried to loose my contacts saved on my iPhone.
Who know how to solve this problem? ThanksHi Charlotte
I had the same problem for one year now and it affected my contacts, then later my calendar.
I followed the Apple troubleshooting guides and finally managed to make it work again.
First try the following guide:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing via USB on Window
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
For me I noticed that after I updated ITunes to latest version (using the full uninstall from the last point of the guide above, section "Reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes"), I could sync with another Windows user account (on another computer actually)
Since I wanted my own account to sync again, I then used the advanced troubleshooting guide:
Advanced troubleshooting for Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2776
In my case the point 4 in this guide helped, but since I had no MobileMe, I just killed the OS process SyncServer.exe, then renamed the SyncServices folder to SyncServices.old and restarted the PC.
You should try all the steps in both guides in the order mentioned, to see which one can help, I don't advise you to start directly with a step in a guide
Good luck

ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone...the iPhone canceled the sync
My phone refuses to sync ANY contacts. When iTunesis performing the Sync process, it ends stating that "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "MyPhone" because the iPhone canceled the sync."
This happened originally when I was running OS 3.0. As a fix, I upgraded iTunes and then my iPhone to the latest versions - v9.0.1.8 and v3.1.2 respectively.
I just finished doing a "reset all content and settings" and still no dice. Unfortunately, this won't allow me to sync until after I restore a backup, so I'm sure I'm bringing corrupt data back into the phone.
I tried changing my contacts to sync to my Windows Address Book, instead of the GMail that I use. No luck.
HOW can I simply ERASE the contact database on my iPhone so I can get it to sync again?...and an update.
I tried manually adding some contacts to the phone and they just don't save. The contact list stays empty. -
This just started today:
"iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "My Phone" because an error occured while merging data"
Info:
I'm running iTunes 9 and 4.0.1 on my iPhone which is a 3GS. They sync with Google Contacts. I did just install a group contact app called ABCLite (fyi, have no idea if this is related).
I use my contacts a LOT on both the phone and the computer so I really need them to sync! Help!!!
JennHi,
same here - or similar: Installed latest iOS4 and only group in my contacts comes up.
Data do not seem to be lost (phew:-) because when I ring a number, the phone still displays who it is, so the data are there somewhere.
Any help much appreciated. -

itunes could not sync contacts to the iphone because the contacts are in use by the i phone.... hi i always get this messega when i plug my phone in to the iphone is there anyone have any idea how to fix my phone thank u
Am I'm the only one with this issue?
As I investigate the crash logs it appears that the contacts db is corrupted and that is what is killing the phone, contacts, and mail etc settings.
I have my contacts backed up several places so I'm not worried about losing them.
Anyone know how to wipe or recreate the contacts db on the phone via an attached PC?

Itunes could not sync contacts to the iphone
I have just moved my iPhone 3G to a new notebook Windows 7 Outlook 2010. Can't synch my contacts through iTunes from Outlook (8149 of them), receive error = itunes could not sync contacts to the iphone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers. Everything else syncs fine. All used to sync under XP Pro Outlook 2003. I see many posts and have tried almost all of the solutions offered. Apple please help us get back to being productive, not troubleshooting our devices. Any advice from others is MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Restored iPhone; reset sync, cleared the sync option for contacts, confirmed removal of all records on iPhone, disconnected and closed iTunes - tried this many times; restored all library files from old computer, cleared ALL records, reset sync, disconnected and closed iTunes, then synced again; tried process again after de-selecting option for calendars, email, notes, etc. as well as contacts; placed a single contact record on the iPhone, then tried syncing, next de-selected the option to sync contacts, accepted the removal of that (all) contacrt records from the iPhone, again set up iTunes to replace all contacts on iPhone. Everything syncs fine execpt for my contacts. I have been trying everything I can think of... about 16 hrs into it so far.
