Problems Syncing iPhone 4S with MS Outlook 2010 after years of no problems

For several years, I have sync'ed my iPhone 4S regularly and flawlessly using itunes with my Windows 7 desktop that was running Outlook 2010.
Last week, disaster struck and my hard drive failed and had to be replaced. Luckily, my backup drive had everything on it, so I replaced the failed drive, then copied my outlook.pst file back on the new drive, as well as all my iTunes songs. Outlook and Itunes were installed for a fresh start.
Unfortunately, I tried to sync my iPhone with the "new" computer today, and the process seems to get stuck at the "Syncing contacts (Step 3 of 7)" during the syncing procedure. It has been at that phase in the process for over 3 hours? Will I hurt the files if I cancel the process?
I there anyway to fix this? Syncing the iphone with outlook is an essential feature.
Are there settings to start with a computer with a new hard disk, but all the old data?
Please help!

I have 3 iPhone 4's and I'm having this problem on all 3 of them.  We upgraded to iTunes 11.4.0.18 and we have Outlook 2010 and it just gets stuck on (Step 3 of 7) Syncing Contacts.  We left it running overnight and it was still stuck.  When this happens the progress bar keeps moving making you think it is working, but it is stuck.
I wish someone from Apple would help.  We just ordered iPhone 6 phones and we need to backup so we can restore our old info.

  • I am having problems syncing my ipad2 with my outlook 2010. Any suggestions

    I am having problems syncing my ipad2 with my outlook 2010. I went to ATT& T store and they recommended airplane mode when syncing.  It did not sync Outlook to my ipad 2. Any suggestions?

    You haven't purchased apps with multiple Apple ID's have you? If you have, you can only sync with one Apple ID in the iTunes library at a time. Whichever ID you are signed into on the computer and the iPad would determine which apps would sync.
    Have all of your apps been transferred into iTunes for your iPad?

  • Sync iphone 4s calendar to outlook 2010

    My 4s calendar syncs with iTunes, but how do I get the calendar to sync with Outlook 2010 on a Windows 7 desktop computer?

    Update:  I haven't used Outlook until tonight. I just made some calendar entries directly into Outlook, then synced in iTunes.  The Outlook enteries showed up on my iPhone calendar.
    But, I have a lot of entries on my iPhone, and I want to copy them into Outlook, but they don't copy from the iPhone to Outlook, only vice-versa.
    I'd really be grateful for instructions on how to get iPhone calendar enteries to copy into Outlook 2010.
    Thanks.

  • Syncing iphone 3GS with my Outlook 2007 calendar not working

    I recently updated my iphone software and itunes software. Since done, I now cannot sync my calendar. It is grayed out in itunes. Contacts, music, photos etc are all go, but not the calendar. Does anyone have a fix please??

    OK...there are several different KB's with troubleshooting instructions...but they are pretty numerous...I suggest you go here:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsit​e.do
    and search on something like "calendar sync fail" and inspect the various results...something there might be helpful to your situation. You can refine the search terms to something even more specific to your situation.
    Good luck and let us know!

    iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
    In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Click the Info tab.
    Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.

  • Unable to sync contacts and calendar to outlook 2010 or iphone 5

    I work in IT and several of our clients are have trouble syncing contacts and calendar to outlook 2010 or iphones.
    I have uninstall itunes completely from the computer, deleted the backup and clear the sync history nothing seems to be working.
    Is there are problem with the latest itunes and if so when will the fix be release???

    This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
    In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!

  • IOS7 syncing with MS Outlook 2010 no longer syncs all the contact information

    With the new iOS7 on an iPhone 4s, syncing with MS Outlook 2010 on win XP, the phone no longer syncs all the contact information as it used to before I updated to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1, and now ignores the "Home" addresses I have on Outlook.  It also apprears to miss some other bits of information too, but the home addresses are key for when I am away from the computer. How can I resolve this syncing error? Thank you.

    The same thing is happening to me since upgradng to iOS7, although I am syncing contacts with Mac contacts, not Outlook.

  • Can you Sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013

    Can you sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013? Everything mail, contacts and calender.

    Hey Mark
    I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
    We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.
    If you want to check it out: www.connex.io or you can send me an e-mail if you would like some more info: [email protected]
    I hope this helps you out.

  • How do I sync my Iphone-4 with MS Outlook 2007

    I am running Windows XP Pro, SP 3, and woiuld like to sync my Iphone 4 with my outlook version. 2007, contacts. I woiuild like the option of ether overwriting from the phone tot he computer, or from the computer to the phone, or just exchange, and update from both (if that's possible).

    You can do this through iTunes. If you connect your phone and click on it where it appears under Devices, then on the screen that appears, click on the Info tab. In here you have the option to Sync Contacts with a drop-down box to choose what program you want to sync with.
    The first time you do it, it should give you the option of which source you want to overwrite or to merge. After that, by default it will overwrite the Outlook contacts with the iPhone contacts unless you scroll to the bottom of the Info page to the Advanced section and check Contacts to overwrite the phone.
