Q: Syncing contacts with Outlook and iCloud
-
Aug 14, 2016 9:34 AMby steven_a1,Hello Ceciola,
So I understand that you would like to remove some unwanted contacts from your iPhone using iTunes. To organize your contacts, I would import all of the outlook contacts into iCloud so you would no longer need to sync that data via the iTunes App. But to answer your questions:
1. You would need to delete the contacts from the iTunes library and not the iPhone itself so when you re sync, it will not add the same contacts back to the device.
2. To manage your iCloud contacts, please visit www.iCloud.com . Sign in with the Apple ID you use with your iPhone, then click on the iCloud contacts icon.
Please note: You will not be able to sync your contacts via iTunes and iCloud simultaneously.
Try exporting your outlook contacts as vCards to a folder on your computer then importing them into your iCloud contacts. If you have not already done so, please download the iCloud for Windows app. You can use this link below for more assistance with Outlook and iCloud

This should have your contacts organized as you wish. Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Have a great day.
