Export contacts from iphone to Outlook

@crossfitguynd:

Go to your iPhone >> Settings >> iCloud Settings >> turn off contacts (pop up will come whether you want to keep data on iPhone which you should, as you dont want to remove any data from iphone) once you are done you will see the tab of Sync Contacts with Outlook in your itunes.

Hope this helps.

I am having issues yet. Under the Sync Contacts in iTunes, it has the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air."

By contacts were part of my old work email Exchange that I no longer have access to. If I turn it off on my iPhone, will I lose all of my contacts before I am able to export them?

I had a similar question when I was looking for ways to export my iphone contacts to my computer. I used a the method described here:

1.Connect the iPhone to the computer using the supplied USB cable and launch the iTunes application. iTunes displays your iPhone on the left panel under "Devices."

2.Click your iPhone on the iTunes panel and click the "Info" tab. Click "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook."

3.Select "All Contacts" if you want to sync all the contacts from your iPhone to Outlook. If you want to select specific contacts, click "Selected groups" and place a check on the contacts you want to sync to Outlook.

4.Click "Apply" to sync your iPhone contacts to Outlook. Click the "Eject" button on the right panel and disconnect your phone from the computer. Close iTunes.

5.Launch Outlook and click the "Contacts" tab.
Done. You should see the exported iPhone contacts to Outlook.

Exporting iPhone Contacts to Microsoft Outlook:

Connect your iPhone to your computer with the USB cable provided with your device. You can also place the iPhone in the Apple Universal Dock. Once connected, iTunes, iPhone’s default management program, opens automatically. Select "iPhone" under "Devices." Click on the "Info" tab, select "Sync Contacts With" and choose "Outlook." Choose "All Contacts" to export all contacts from your iPhone. For specific contacts, choose "Selected Groups," followed by checking the contacts you prefer to export and sync with Outlook. After you click "Apply," disconnect the iPhone and launch Outlook to see the list of imported contacts.

If you prefer, you can configure Outlook as your default program to export contacts. To do so, go to Microsoft Outlook, click on "Tools," choose "Options" and then "Others." Check the box "Set Outlook As Default Program for Messaging, Contacts and Calendars." Click "OK."

@Vere Smith: Thank you very much. It works for me.. JJ

I have entered 3 new contacts and nothing happens , the sync does not appear for me to merge

I plugged in my UBS cable and the default program does not open up

AHA, thanks

I was having the same difficulties.

Outlook contacts were set up on my iPhone to sync through the USB connection through iTunes. Sync contacts with Outlook was selected and my Outlook contacts page had numerour contacts listed.

However, after some time away, adding many new contacts to my iPhone, I found that outlook would not sync the newly created contacts.

My answer: Having backed up your iPhone, close down Outlook completely, then sync your iPhone. When you restart outlook, the new contacts are imported.

I'm assuming there is a conflict with the master contacts file on outlook. When Outlook is open, the contacts master file can't be updated/changed. Is this perhaps an iOS7 issue? It has only affected my contacts since I upgraded my iOS from 6 to 7.

So to reiterate. Shut down outlook, sync, reopen outlook.

Hope this helps.

When I go to the itunes info tab, there is an option to "sync from" versus sync with outlook. I do not want to loose the contracts in the phone.

My problem is that when I sync to outlook, it takes all of of my outlook contacts and puts it on the iphone, but rather then merging it wipes out my existing iphone contacts.

How do I ensure that the contacts merege rather than one set replace the other?

When I plug my Iphone5 in on my Mac and Itunes pops up there isn't an Info tab
