Why won't Outlook 2011 Contacts sync with iPhone Contacts?

When i left a previous company i wanted to keep my outlook contacts. To do this i exported them from the company PC into a .PST file. I was then given a MacBook Air at my current company and wanted to import the contacts from the .PST file to my outlook (Outlook 2011). This was fine and i have my old contacts on my new work MacBook. My problem is that i cannot get the contacts to show in my iPhone 6 (company phone) contacts. When i go to itunes, then my device and contacts i am given the option to sync contacts from different places. The only place that comes up is OWA and there is no option to sync the .PST file that is on my outlook. I need to be able to sync these so that if i add a contact at the office on the mac or if i add a contact on my phone when out meeting a client that they then appear on both devices no matter which one it was created on.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I did what you said and everything looked and worked perfectly...except the events still aren't showing up on my iPhone even though they are in Google Calendar. How much time does it take to populate the iphone calendar with the events from the just added calendar? I changed the settings a couple of hours ago.
Thank you!

Why can't Outlook for Mac sync with iCal

Because Microsoft didn't update their software to work with the new OS.

Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

New events on Outlook 2010 not syncing with Iphone and Ipad

I have gone through the nonsensical uninstall/reinstall every 5 restars. This time my new events or contacts on Outlook do not show on iPhone or Ipad. There is also a new confirguration where the Outlook does not separate the iCloud calendar from Outlook calendar but lists them all, then iCloud as a separate box at the bottom. I've tried dragging to that box with no success. I make about 50 appointments and reminders to my calendar each week and use all devices whether in the office or out. How dare Apple not fix this known issue.

I just looked at topic called "Outlook 2010 - Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes and used the fix suggested in that string of posts. It appears to have worked!!! My happy camper.

Outlook Calendar stopped syncing with iPhone Calendar

I deleted a recurrent event on my iPhone and this action appears to have confused the sync capability between my iPhone and MS Outlook Calendar.
Outlook still tries to find the recurrent event on start-up even though it is not shown in Outlook Calendar.
More concerning is that new events and changes in Outlook Calendar are no longer syncing with iPhone Calendar. The time to complete the Calendar sync activity is noticeably longer than any of the other sync actions, which suggests that there is a problem.
I have been through the restore routine in iTunes and also attempted to replace all the Outlook Calendar data on the iPhone using the Advanced facility on the iTunes Info tab.
I appreciate that this may be an Outlook issue but are there any other things that I can try to restore the sync capability between the 2 Calendars.
All other sync functions appear to work ok - I have created and deleted Contact data from both Outlook and iPhone and this works fine.
Grateful for any help!

I'm not sure if this will work for you. It seems every time I research a problem, everyone has a different solution that doesn't work for everyone. (I just spent an hour and a half searching for a solution in various forums.) But this one just worked for me.
I went into iTunes, into the Devices page for my iPhone, then to the Info tab. I unchecked Sync Calendars with Outlook. A pop-up appeared saying, I believe (I didn't write it down) "Do you want to delete previously synced calendars on the iPhone" - or words to that effect. Since I hadn't entered anything directly into the iPhone calendar in a while, I clicked Okay. Then I clicked on Apply (lower right corner of iTunes). The iPhone synced, and all appointments disappeared from the iPhone calendar. I then rechecked Sync Calendars with Outlook, clicked Apply, and the iPhone synced once again - and all my Outlook calendar appointments appeared on the iPhone.
This was, I admit, after having deinstalled all Apple software from my PC and reinstalling it. That didn't work on its own (still couldn't sync calendars), but I don't know for sure whether it had something to do with the success of the de-sync / re-sync.
Good luck. These solutions always seem to be hit-and-miss.

Outlook 2013 not syncing with iPhone 6

Outlook 2013 used to sync my Calender and Contacts but since upgrading to iOS 8.1.3, no sync. iTunes appears to sync but
new data and changes to Outlook do not appear on my iPhone. Please help!

Thanks, but I tried all that - took hours but no joy!! Checking the net, it looks like plenty of people have the same problem.

Outlook 2011 calendar sync with my i-phone

I cannot synchronise my outlook 2011 calendar for mac with my I-Phone...Before work good with I-cal or entourage but now doesn't work anymore ?

One slippery dog wrote:

He's not using Entourage 2004 or 2008. He's using Outlook 2011, which, at this time only syncs contacts to Apple Mail/iTunes.

Why Won't Reminders for iOS Sync with iCloud?

I've been forced to use iCloud for Reminders now that I've upgraded to Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Because Reminders & Calendar share a checkbox on Mountain Lion, I've been forced to use iCloud for that, too, because once that checkbox is checked, Calendar refuses to sync with my phone via iTunes.
Now, the sole reason I've done this is to sync Reminders between my iPhone 4 and my iMac, but no matter what I try, after the initial sync when iCloud is set up, changes to my Reminders (additions, edits, etc.) refuse to make it to iCloud. I know because I've added and changed numerous reminders in the last few days, and none of those changes show up on iCloud.com. So this is an issue between iOS and iCloud's servers.
This has been going on since I upgraded OS X and enabled iCloud last weekend, and the only time I've managed to resolve it was by doing this:
1. Backing up all my Calendar & Reminders data
2. Turning off iCloud for Calendar and Reminders on both my iPhone and iMac (making certain to preserve the Reminders stored on my iPhone, which had the most recent changes)
3. Deleting all the Reminders shown on iCloud.com
4. Turning iCloud back on for both devices.
I'm not sure if all these steps were necessary (especially deleting the Reminders from iCloud.com), but the even if the other 3 steps are, it is unacceptable to me (and anyone with half a brain) to need to turn iCloud off and back on every time I want a backup of my iPhone's Reminders on a different device (in case I lose the iPhone or it is destroyed).
In case anyone was wondering, I've already tried all the troubleshooting steps at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4000. I'm running the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion with all applicable updates, and my iPhone is running the latest version of iOS 6 (6.1.3) that Apple will allow me to have. Yes, that means I haven't patched the SSL bug, but I'm rarely away from home, and when I am, I am rarely somewhere with accessible (not locked) wi-fi. In addition, my home network is secured and running good encryption, so I'm not worried. I just turn my wi-fi off when away from home.
Oh, and upgrading to iOS 7 is out of the question at this point in time, because I don't like it (especially the look and the combined Address/Search bar in Safari, among other things) and I'm concerned about battery life/performance. Also, I've seen a class-action lawsuit going around right now regarding the fact that iOS 7 can potentially fry the Broadcomm wireless chip in older iPhones (i.e. mine).
So, with all this info in mind, can someone help me?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that all your contacts are in your primary iCloud group, only contacts in this group will sync with your primary iCloud account.
In the example above I have a secondary iCloud account, but you might also see a 'On My Phone' group.

Why won't my Nokia N95 Sync with isync?

I am having fun and games getting my N95 to sync with my mac using the usb cable that comes with the phone.
i have downloaded the official nokia plugin from the nokia website but isync cant see the device. i also downloaded another plugin from somewhere else but this didnt work either?
i dont have bluetooth on my mac as its an old G4 quicksilver.
how do i get all my contacts from mac address book onto my phone?
please help!
many thanks!

i seem to have solved the problem, well a mr paul reames helped me. it seems to be that it just wont work with just using the usb cable.
all i did to get around this was go and buy a bluetooth dongle and now it works perfectly! all very annoying though that the cable doesnt work!
just one note though about buying a dongle. most shops say that they dont know if the dongles will work on a mac or not. this is just because on most of the packaging it never mentions whether or not its mac compatible. well i can tell you that i bought an orange dongle and it works perfectly. yiou dont even need to install anything, just plug and go.
oh and yeah i was using 10.4.9 and 2.4 of isync!
just out of interest did anyone ever get it to work with the cable?

Why won't BOTH our iPods sync with my mac?

I am trying to sync my and my girlfriend's iPod touches, and when I try either option in File> Sync iPod or >Transfer from iPod, the text is grey so I cannot do this. Its driving me up the wall, I can't find anything relating to WHY our iPod's aren't syncing????

- To transfer iTunes purchases from iPod to computer see:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Note it says the computer has to be authorized for the iTunes accounts that purchased the music.
- For other music you will need a third-party progtam like ne of those diacussed here.
Copy music
- An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library. If a computer is synced to another library and you try to sync to another library the items will be grayed out.

Outlook 2010 Calendar syncing with iPhone -- why not?

What gives here?
I get the message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone."
What does this mean?
I have tried every option in iTunes and every option in Outlook.
Obviously I am missing something..... but what?
Everything else syncs.
Thanks.

Hi Bob.
Have you updated to the latest version of itunes/iphone? I ask as am having issues updating as well and before I start banging my head against a brick wall trying to get it all updated to see if it fixes the problem, i may as well find out if it could solve the issue.

Why won't iTunes U files sync with iPad?

I purchased free courses (videos) from iTunes U on my iMac, and when I go to sync with my iPad, it gives me an error message that says the files could not sync, iPad cannot read these files. I know it can, they are ".mov".
If I download them straight onto my iPad from iTunes U store, it works fine, until I go to sync after having purchased more of the videos from my iMac. Suddenly they all disapear and it says iPad cannot read the files.
If anyone could offer me some help, maybe this is a glitch with iTunes U?

1, I don't think it's worth swapping the Canon camera for something else only because of this incompatibility. (BTW, which model is it?)
2, I've tested the workflow myself with my Canon G1X and Canon S100 videos, with the above-mentioned ipadfix.py file and directly synching videos imported / dragged to the desktop iPhoto via the "Photos" tab in iTunes. Unfortunately, iPhoto doesn't have any H.264 level adjustment (which would be sufficient) capabilities.
All in all, you can do the following to simplify the workflow: before importing to iPhoto, run the ipadfix.py script to set the H.264 level to an iPad-compliant one. It's only after this that you should import the video to iPhoto. Then, iTunes will happily synch the file from iPhoto to the iPad.
Another option is the above-mentioned QT export, but, as I've pointed out, it WILL degrade the image quality as it, instead of changin a single descriptor byte in the file, recompresses(!) the entire thing.
In addition, also send a request to Apple to remove this absolutely unnecessary limitation, pointing out that a lot of cameras out there (most current Canon models) use H.264 level 5.0 by error, and Apple makes it impossible to synch the videos created by these cameras to iPads absolutely unnecessarily. (They don't allow to synch anything over level 4.1.)

Calendar – Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes

I posted this question to the iphone hardware forum, however it seems to be more suited to iTunes.
I have had Microsoft Office 2003 working with iTunes and my iPhone 4 to sync my calendar and contacts for some time, and everything worked perfectly up to the other day.
Recently I upgraded from Microsoft Office 2003 to Office 2010, and now the calendar will not sync. Contacts seems to sync ok, but not the calendar.
I have recently gone through several iterations of upgrades for iTunes, iPhone, and other MS patches and updates. Evrything is now up to date. However, nothing I do changes to way that Outlook ignores the iTunes sync.
Everything worked fine until the upgrade to Office 2010. I have changed all of the settings in both iTunes and Outlook and on the phone itself. There does not seem to be any way to make it work.
I always wait for some time before doing any upgrade to make sure the bugs are worked out of it. Since Microsoft Office 2010 has been out for almost three years, I would have assumed that iTunes would work with it, as it normally did with earlier versions. (my mistake)
While the potential is there for the iPhone to ba a good business tool, the basic inability to reliably sync to Outlook (what is agrguably the most prevalent e-mail, contacts and calendar program currently in use) seems to be a relatively significant issue.
Is there any way to fix this?

I looked at the article you referenced, however it appears that the focus is to get Google calndar and Outlook to work together. I do not use Google calendar.
The only real change to the Microsoft side appears to be the change of the version in the Outlook executable file.
Is this all it takes to get MS Office 2010 to sync with iTunes?

Can Outlook 2013 Email sync with iPhone 4s via iCloud?

Hi.
I am hoping to sync my iPhone 4s with my email in Outlook 2013. I thought I had found a link online earlier today to do this via the iCloud but my system rebooted and I lost the link. Can this be done?
When I try to setup my email using iCloud on my laptop I get the following error "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."
I have not made any changes in Outlook for fear that I will mess it up.
Looking for any help I can get!
Jen

Email is not synced from phone to computer. both devices should be setup to send and recive from the same account. So setup your iCloud mail on your phone. then set it up on your computer in Outlook. if you are having issues with Outlook then ask on a Microsfot forum, as at this point the issue is not realted to your phone.
