The advantage of syncing your contacts with iCloud instead is no matter where your iDevice is, you can get them back. If your only syncing them with say Microsoft Outlook then you can't retrieve them until you get back home. On the other hand I guess, if you rarely leave home then it probably doesn't matter but I like having the iAdvantage.

Yes, my Outlook contacts are being stored under an iCloud folder on the PC;
and with my phone connected to the PC, iTunes reports that "your contacts
are being synced over the air through iCloud. Under Settings, cellular data,
contacts are turned on; and under iCloud the contacts are turned on but
iCloud backup is turned off as I do this on the PC . Re the Add-ins section
in the options dialog- can't locate this under Tools, Options in Outlook
2007.

Thought it would be nice to have contacts updated immediately, but am about
ready to give this up as a bad idea :(

Also in Outlook, make sure your contacts are stored in the iCloud data file
rather than a local data set. Press CTRL+Y to bring up the folder list, and
make sure they are stored under the "iCloud" section.

Also check under the Add-ins section in the options dialog to make sure the
iCloud add-in hasn't been disabled. Outlook occasionally disables this on
its own accord if it thinks that the add-in is slowing down Outlook too
much.

Perhaps I need to check the iCloud control panel then and see if the set-up
is incomplete or something. Thanks.

Yes, however this thread is discussing contact and calendar sync. Those
should work fine weather on Wi-Fi or cellular data.

Hi, based on what I know the phone will only back up when connected to a
wifi network and plugged in to a wall outlet.

I'm not aware of any limitation affecting the synchronization of
iCloud mail, contacts, calendars, or reminders over the cellular data
network. These should sync just fine. If they do not, I suspect
something is wrong with your set-up. As for using random Wi-Fi
networks, assuming you have the person's consent to do so, I
personally wouldn't as there are genuine security risks to be aware of.

Showing my router ignorance here ;) So- even though I pick up WIFI
from my neighbor's router, are you saying that I still must have my
own router to use iCloud to sync contacts for some reason?

If you don't have wifi the best you could do is do it threw iTunes.
For iCloud wifi is required to make the changes rapidly between the
devices, but it can't happen if you have no wifi which basically means
no connection between the them On Jun 18, 2014, at 12:25 PM, Don &

Hello Mike,

The short answer to your question is:

The iCloud Control Panel is a piece of software that you must
download
from,
among other places, iCloud.com.

It allows you to have your iCloud info, such as Contacts, Reminders,
Appointments, (1) appear and be accessible from within the MS Outlook
application and (2) be synchronized via a cell connection, only.
Without having the iCloud Control Panel installed in Windows, you can
only synchronize your iCloud data via a USB connection through iTunes
or via a WiFi connection.

Mark

Subject: Confusion over syncing outlook contacts

Hi

I'm setting up a new iPhone 5C running IOS 7.1.1 for my wife.  I have
seen messages on this list, and read in the Getting Started with the
iPhone NBP book you must use iCloud with the iCloud Control Pannel to
sync contacts from the computer to the phone.  I have set up the
phone to use iCloud,
but
I do not have the iCloud Control Pannel.  But when I was in the phone
settings and on the Info tab of iTunes 11.2, there is a setting to
sync contacts.  So I checked it and then synced the phone.  After
syncing, it appears that all of the Outlook contacts are now on the
phone.  Can anyone clarify?
