Itunes syncing.

Encantador

I have had to format my PC and have taken the opportunity to change to Windows 7.

I have contacts on my Iphone that have lost from my PC during the process.

I have also uploaded the Beta version of Office 2010.

Before, I could sync my phone and it would update contacts and Outlook calendar from PC to Iphone.

The problems I have are.....

I need to first of all try and get the contacts off the iphone into Outlook (via Itunes).
Is there a way of doing a initial sync from the phone TO Itunes?

When I go to Itunes, click on the Iphone and go to `Info` the only option I have to Sync is Contacts, but it only offers me the option to sync with Google Contacts, Windows contacts or Yahoo Address book, NOT Outlook.
Is this because there are no contacts in Outlook yet or because it does not know that Outlook is on the computer?

There is no option I can tick to sync `Celendar` it says `No supported calendar application can be found.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just in case you should update to iTunes 9.1.1 which was released last week. There were sync problems with previous version particularly if you had MobileMe.

When you sync it should take contacts from iPhone as well as contacts from PC to iPhone, as there are none it shouldn't take any from the PC. Check with Apple, give them a quick call they are very helpful.

By the way, I have a Google account and get my iPhone to sync calendar and contacts as I change them on the phone or online with Google. Outlook and iCal (if you have Apple) can also sync with a Google account. Gives me another backup.
