I have recently added to my Contacts list in Outlook on my PC but they are not being transferred to my iPad when I sync. I have ticked the appropriate box in iTunes "info" and then syncing but still not receiving the contact updates on my iPad. What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,

Hi again!
I assume you've set up your Outlook account on your iPad as well, which is necessary to sync contacts to it. Then go to Settings - Mails, Contacts, Calendars, tap the account and make sure that "Contacts" is enabled:
Now close Settings, go to Contacts (app) and open it. If it doesn't start to sync as soon as you open the app, tap "Groups" (upper left corner):
The next page will show all your accounts that sync to the app, and an arrow at the bottom, to the left.
Tap it to start syncing manually.
Then tap "Done" (red ribbon, to the right) to get back to your contacts. Your newly added contacts should be there.
One more thing you could check: in Contacts, on the page with the sync arrow, all accounts should have a check mark, so they will appear in the app (unlike my screenshot).
