When your using iTunes to sync between your Outlook on your computer and your iPhone then you're just syncing with the local contacts on your iPhone. There are a few things you can do.

On your iPhone, you can just make sure the contacts option is checked in the settings for your Gmail account. This will create a separate address book on your phone that will be in sync with your Google Contacts. This will be separate from the local address book on your phone. Through the contacts app you can use either or both address books, All of your addresses will be presented in one list, so if you have the same account in Outlook and Google then you'll see it twice on your iPhone, if you have both address books checked.

Syncing between your iPhone and Outlook and syncing between your iPhone and Google will just update their own address books, so you won't be clobbering anything. The only problem you'll have is that you might have some duplicate entries.

I hope this makes sense so far.

What you can do, which is what I do, except I don't use Outlook, is just put all of your contacts in one place, such as Google Contacts. In this case, you'd have to use something on your PC to synch your Outlook contacts with Google and then keep them in sync. On your phone then, you would just stop using the local addresses and just use your Google Contacts. Like I said, this is what I do, but I use Thunderbird instead of Outlook and I have a plug in in Thunderbird that syncs my contacts between Thunderbird and Google Contacts. In this way, I just enter a contact in one place and it shows up everywhere.

I currently sync all my Outlook contacts in Outlook 2010 on my Windows 7

this isn't going to torpedo my continued syncing on my computer between
Outlook and my iPhone.



The link provided in the history below had excellent details but
mentions that you just need to have a paid Google account. I don't have
a paid Google account but just a free one that I got years ago when
setting up my Gmail account. Will I still be able to set up this sync
between my iPhone and my Google account? As I continue to input new
contacts mainly on my PC in Outlook 2010 and sync them with my iPhone
using iTunes, will they automatically sync with my Google account or
will I have to take some action to continually sync them?



Thanks in advance for any assistance.

                                similar is something called All Sync 2.
                                Any ideas? Has anyone heard of this app?

                                                        I'm wondering if
                                                        anyone can help
                                                        me. I want to
                                                        try to make sure
                                                        that

                                                        all my contacts
                                                        are completely
                                                        synced between
                                                        my ICloud and Gmail

                                                        accounts, so
                                                        that they will
                                                        all work
                                                        regardless of
                                                        what device I'm

                                                        using and so
                                                        that they're all
                                                        up-to-date/contain
                                                        the same information

                                                        and there aren't
                                                        loads of

                                                        I can

                                                        do this?? I'm
                                                        sure there's a
                                                        way, but I've
                                                        just had a total
                                                        blank.



                                                        Any help would
                                                        be much appreciated.
