Thank you! But I have a problem that I cannot transfer iPhone contacts to outlook.....my account is linked and I updated my outlook....after updating, I cannot sync the contacts. Can you solve the problem?

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

From microsoft, I found this https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Synchronize-Outlook-and-Apple-iPhone-or -iPod-touch-contacts-149cbfc5-4396-4ab3-8b65-22915e4043dc

OOutlook is not listed when I connect. Sync Contacts on iTunes says:  your contacts are being synced over the air from icloud. Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone. How to do that?

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.

Try iPhone PC Suite. It not only lets you transfer contacts from iPhone to PC, but also export contacts to Windows Address Book and Outlook. In addition, it also enables you to transfer contacts from computer to iPhone, remove duplicate contacts, and manage contacts on iPhone.

Hello nola_questions,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

For more information on this, take a look at:

iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer

Contacts

To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.

You can sync your contacts with:

• Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
• Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
• Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
• Address Book (Mac OS X)
• Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
  Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.

Notes:

• When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
• You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
• Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

Best of luck,

Mario

This is the way from microsoft: https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Synchronize-Outlook-and-Apple-iPhone-or -iPod-touch-contacts-149cbfc5-4396-4ab3-8b65-22915e4043dc

iCloud is also a good way to sync contacts to outlook. You can also transfer outlook contacts to iPhone if you want.

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!

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..
