Export contacts from iphone to Outlook

I followed the instructions transferred on tax from my iPhone to my opening up iTunes. I did clicked on info and check box" sync contacts with Outlook" then clicked apply. The Apple box the top indicated 1, 2 and then the 3rd steps which almost finished but instead the following dialogue box appeared saying," iTunes cannot sync information to the iPhone" iPhone ---------" because a session cannot be started..

I do not understand it is syncing TO iPhone. I thought was taking iPhone contacts to transfer over to Outlook on my computer. Kindly explain how I screwed up know I followed your directions?

@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

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.

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

You won't have such worries if you use the iPhone file manager to back up your iPhone contacts to Outlook.

I tried this. Outlook imported 6 contacts, my iPhone lost around 1000 contacts. had to restore from an iPhone Backup I luckily made earlier today or I'd have lost 1000 contacts....

any other ideas?

Thanks, this worked perfectly for me on my iPhone 6 Plus almost four years later.

MY experience is worse. Every time I tried to import my contacts from iPhone to outlook, number of outlook contacts shrinked. iphone has 1500 contacts, Outlook 10!
