Sync the iphone to outlook, you can't export to it. Open Microsoft Outlook on the computer and complete the setup wizard to create a profile. After creating the profile, then perform another sync. The contacts and/or calendar events from the iPhone should now appear in Outlook.

You need to read this Guide: Overview of syncing iPhone or iPod touch with your compute

Summary

This article gives an overview of how to set up iPhone or iPod touch to sync with your computer, and where to get additional information.

When you connect iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, items are automatically synced according to your preferences set in iTunes. You can, for example, enter phone numbers and addresses of friends and family members on your computer, connect iPhone or iPod touch to sync, then unplug iPhone or iPod touch and tap a friend's name on the touchscreen to call.

You can sync

• Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on

hello,
i want to do this for a different reason:
i reinstalled windows, so my outlook and itunes are empty. when i now activate calendar syncing with my iphone (which holds all my precious data), i tunes just wipes the calendar in my iphone cause my outlook calendar is empty i presume. how stupid is that?! can someone help me with that? (luckily i can keep restoring iphone to pre-sync so i keep getting my calendar back that way)

surely in any normal sync tool, you can tell it which DIRECTION you want to sync??

I had faced a similar issue before. What happened here that I had not enabled MobileME over air syncing. This was located under the Contace info. In that you can see a option replace events on the iphone under advance section. This settings are for the iphone. Because of this your calender events are wiped out by iTunes. You must check this settings first. It is not easy to recover the same.

This is also possible by taking the phone backup. Second thing you can do that by exporting the contacts from iPhone in the form of .csv file format. This can be done through iTunes. Just run iTunes and connect your iPhone. See that iPhone is shown on the left side. You have to right click and choose backup. After the backup ends click on info. Now click on Sync Contacs with and then choose the option of Windows contacts. Sync the same. Now click on start > run > wab and then hit ok. Click on Export and you get your all contacts.
