Windows 7: Best way to Sync Outlook, iPhone, & iPad Emails, Contacts & Calendar?

Hi Kina, regarding the iPhone contact groups, yes: I made them with copytrans contacts. If you want to create contact groups on your iPhone, run the program on your computer, connect your iPhone, then right-click within the Contacts pane and select "New group" giving the group a name:





I do not have an Android device but am almost sure copytrans contacts is only designed for Apple iDevices. If you already transferred your old iPhone contacts to your PC, you can transfer the contact entries to your Android phone's SD card and then import them from there after having installed the SD card back on the phone.

ok. thanks for letting me know. this is promising.

Kina, you are welcome.

Here is a quick YT video of how to group iPhone contacts from your PC. My instructions above basically follow the video:

the best way is to use itunes. but you have to make sure you have deleted/changed the trial version of you microsoft office or it will not work!!

Even if you think you have entered your product key and think you have a fully functioning version of Microsoft office, you don't!!
Not until you have manually changed the version on two different places on you pc.

go to control panel and uninstall if your version of microsoft is a student or trial version your iphone will not sync.

in unistall view right click the microsoft office file and select change. follow the steps.

you are not done now open outlook and selct file over on the left hand side when it opens look right and see the microsoft version- if it says trial or student you must select change this to a fully functioning version by following the instructions.

This is NOT an automatic function when you enter your product code when you bought your software , but has to be done manually--stupid.


if you are unsure what to do log onto online support from Microsoft. They can (with your permission) log onto your computer and correct all thier screw ups for free.

All Microsoft requires is for you to provide all your purchasing information , receipt, last 4 of credit card used, and product key.

Took about 20 minutes
Now all my files, emails, and calenders sync and update automatically and remotely.

Just remember with your phone connected to computer select itunes then your phone then hit the info tab in teh middle of the iphone screen. then select the infomation you want shared/synced between your iphone and computer.
