Sync issues with Outlook

I'm running Outlook on a Windows XP Pro system and syncing with my iPhone 3G S. However, some of my contacts added to my iPhone are not being added to Outlook. I am also syncing Outlook to a database management program called "ACT." Under MobileMe setting are such that "All Contacts" are set to sync with Outlook. Under the ACT sync system, settings are such that data is to be syncronized "both ways." Outlook is the program both other programs sync to, but the problem seems to be with the iPhone to Outlook only, not Outlook to iPhone. Furthermore, some contacts seem to come over fine, so it is only an intermitent problem, but if they don't come over on the first sync, they never come over. Any ideas?

  • Having sync issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi All,
    My work Macbook Pro 13" is having issues syncing my inbox and sent mail automatically. It's a hit or miss if I recieve emails in my inbox in a timely mannor with out pressing the Send/Recive button (even when i press it takes minutes to update). My Sent Items can show up an hour later  even if I hit the Send/Recieve button.
    All my mail is there and shows up/syncs on my iPhone quickly. I upgraded to Mavericks right when it came out and have only been having these sync issues for the last week or so.
    I've cleared my mail cache and that didn't work. My calandar reminders and contacts don't seem to have any issues and no other apps have been preforming slow or strangely.... just my VERY important work email. My tech guys are stumped and I wanted to try you guys before they do a major rehaul of my system 
    Thanks!

    A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
    How to move your data to a new Identity
    BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
    Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.

  • ICloud sync issues with Outlook 2007

    I am currently using Outlook 2007 and want to sync my Iphone 4S with it. I have setup the icloud settings etc and I am having the following issues.
    When I change something on my phone there is no wireless sync happening even though its setup?
    When I go to my outlook calendar it gives me two choices. A pink tab says Calendar in Cloud and a green tab says work in Cloud. When I sync my phone calendar changes show up in the green Work in Cloud. However, the Work in Cloud does not contain many of my previous inputs prior to starting with the icloud service.
    When I click on Contact it’s initially blank and says no contacts, if I click on Contacts in Cloud my contacts show up.
    Can you help with these items? Thanks in advance.

    ok...
    From experience, I can tell you the two calendars are both default calendars with iCloud. 'Work in Cloud' probably doesn't contain any of previous inputs because your iphone probably defaults to your regular calendar.
    For me, I was able to get a good understanding by looking at the icloud calendar at icloud.com and the outlook calendar side by side. I recommend doing so, and playing around with things so you can figure out how they work.
    With Outlook, you are going to have locally stored stuff (like Contacts), and your cloud-stored stuff (like Contacts in Cloud). That is why you are seeing two different sets of data. It looks like you dont have any locally stored contact, which is fine. All of your contacts are in iCloud (or...Contacts in Cloud), which should correlate to your iphone. again, it might be best to just pull up icloud.com, and put it side by side with outlook. it helped me get a good understanding of how it works.

  • Sync issue with Outlook: Notes and Contacts ok - Calendar stopped syncing

    Greetings,
    Syncing (via USB cable) between my iPhone 3GS (3.1.2) and Outlook 2003 SP3 (Cal, Contacts, and Notes) has never been an issue until my recent upgrade to iTunes 9.0.2.25. Since then, I noticed that my Calendar was no longer syncing either way. When I hit "Sync", iTunes would indicate that it's going through the motion of syncing calendar but no synchronization of the items take place. Contacts and Notes continue to sync fine. One off behavior is that when I connect my iPhone via USB, I get a pop-up window with "Apple iPhone" header
    indicating "Camera connected" with option to pick an app (ie. MS Word) to lauch for this action. Never seen this pop-up. I just cancel out of it.
    Few things I did to try to fix the issue, in vain:
    1. iTunes->Info->Advanced: forced a "Replace information on this iPhone" - no changes to my calendar
    2. iTunes->Edits->Preference->Devices->Reset Sync History - all calendar entries on iPhone are gone
    3. "Repair/Reinstall" iTunes by running the install executable
    I stopped by the Genius Bar for an appointment related to my battery issue and asked the fellow about my sync issue. He wasn't "aware" of the issue.
    Anyone has a suggestion for me to try? Thanks!!!

    I tried now several things to resync my data cause it realy s*cks without. I tried to install itunes 9.0.2.25, 9.0.1 and 9.0.0 but nothing helped so far. I also tried to set Outlook 2003 as standard program for mailing (one forum wrote that helps, too) and I tried to find out if something blocks the communication betwen Outlook 2003 and itunes. But nothing could help so far, still no sync.
    I find it interesting that when I connect my iphone to my PC an then switch in itunes to the device and the "info" pane where I can setup all my sync data with PIM programs that Outlook still remains there as default synced application. But the subfolder in contacts also the mail accounts that should be synced cannot be seen. The option to force itunes to overwrite the calendar, contacts, notes and mailaccount data on the iphone no matter what can be selected. But when i do the synchronisation all of these options are unmarked again.
    Atm I'm thinking of tracing the problem down with Filemon.

  • Sync issue with Outlook 2010

    Hi,
    Not sure if this would be the correct place for this, but here is my issue
    We have a client with Exchange 2010, and Outlook 2010 and they seem to be getting sync issues. the error that comes up is

    Now I have tried some of the standard troubleshooting steps but it seems to keep happening.
    This is what I have tried
    1) turned off any 3rd part addins
    2) turned on outlook logging, but it does not seem to indicate any errors, or I may not be reading it right
    3) removed the ost file, and let outlook recreate it
    4) turned off cache mode, and turned off offline file, re-open outlook turned back on offline file, cache mode
    5) removed exchange support files for outlook, and repaired office
    So I am not sure where to proceed from here.
    Thanks

  • Sync issue with Outlook Calendar

    I just got my first BB - the Pearl 8120.  I installed the Desktop Manager v4.6 off the BB web on an XP tablet pc.  I set it up to syncronize with my outlook 2003.  The sync worked fine for the contacts, however, when it started syncing the calendar, it started up saying it was reading from MS Outlook Calendar and read through the items until it reached 2096/13344.  It stalled for about 30-45 seconds and then started up again until it reached 4613.  It stalled again, but started up again.  At record 6089, a message comes up that says "Intellisync - The operation terminated unexpectedly".  I push "ok" and it returns to the desktop manager.  If I push sync again, it comes up and says "Intellisync - unknown error reported".  I have to close out of the desktop manager and restart to have it sync again.  I tried syncing just the notes and it worked fine.  I also sync'd the tasks with no issues.  However, everytime I try syncing the calendar, it bombs out.
    I tried to see if there was a suspicious calendar entry in outlook, but I can't find which entry it is bombing out on (just the number - the entries listed in the log don't appear to be in a specific order).
    I turned off my anti-virus and had the same luck.
    I also went into the advanced section of backup and restore to delete the database (recommendation from BB website technical support), but there are no databases listed at all for the computer databases.
    I have been using hotsync from Palm to sync with my palm.  Active sync is also installed on my system.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok- I think I found a solution.  AT&T directed me to a BB document KB01451 which shows you how to turn on advanced logging capability.  Evidently, I had a few records in my Outlook database where the date codes were corrupted for some unknown reason.  I followed the directions to turn on the logging.  Then, do a sync.  After you get the error message, look in the tif.log using notepad and scroll to the bottom of the document.  Within the first few lines, you will see the subject line.  Go into Outlook calendar and go into the advanced find.  Type in the subject line and have the search look for the subject title.  If you have more than one entry with the same name, you can probably figure out the specific record with a location or some other identifying mark.  If not, you need to process all the records you found.  What I did was open up the record - each corrupted record had a reoccurance set.  I went into the reoccurance tab located under tools.  I selected ok and acknowledged the warning it would give me about changes to some events may be changed.  I then saved the appointment.  I then went into the directory of the logs and renamed the logs.  You can also just erase them if you don't want to keep track of them.  By the way, you will probably have to shut down the desktop manager and Outlook in between the errors - you may have to close outlook through the task manager as it gets hung due to the error.  You just have to keep going through the process until you find all the corrupted records - I had 6 in my file of 13k records.  I have no idea why this was happening - the records were from many years ago to a few weeks ago....not a good sign!!  My Palm didn't seem to have an issue with these records, so I don't know why they were an issue with the BB....but I am up and running after several hours of messing with this - hopefully this will help someone else.

  • BB BOLD 9700 sync issues with Outlook for MAC

    Hi Support, 
    I hope that you can help me?  I have been having issues with my BB calendar not being able to sync with my Outlook for MAC calendar.  I am using BB OS 6.0, Blackberry Desktop software 2.2.0 and Mac OS X version 10.7.2.
    I have been able toget around the calendars not syncing but this morning I added iCal to iCloud, stupid move as it erased my entire calendar.
    i was wondering if someone could help me restore my Outlook calendar and have my BB and calendar sync properly.
    Please Help!!!

    Hello and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    The BlackBerry Desktop Software needs a local calendar for sync. It does not support the iCloud.
    You will need to create a new local calendar in your iCal to continue synchronizing with the Desktop Software.
    As for restoring your Outlook calendar, you will need to talk to Apple for assistance.

  • Sync Issues with outlook 2007

    here is the issues in a nutshell.....
    1) When I put an appointment into my blackberry as a full day, it syncs with
    my outlook as a 2 day appointment. This also happens when I do an all day
    appointment in outlook it changes to a 2 day appointment on my blackberry.
    2) Also when I put an appointment into my blackberry at a specific time eg.
    8:00am meeting it syncs in outlook at 7:00am meeting, one hour earlier…….
    Strange
    I have been through all the blogs and crackberry.com, and this one but can’t seem to find
    a resolution…..
    I have downloaded the DST patch for both outlook and blackberry but nothing
    changes…… adjusted both clocks on Outlook and my Blackberry as well.  I have verified that the BIOS clock is also correct.
    I am running the blackberry desktop manager 4.3, Outlook 2007, and have a
    blackberry curve 8310, that has v4.2.2.153 software on it.
    Any help would be appreciated
    thanks in advance

  • PC Sync issues with Outlook and Iphone

    Can anyone point me to a discussion group which can address the sync issues I am having with my iphone since upgrading itunes and iphone last night on my windows PC.
    Most discssions threads are mac orientated and as a result I rarely get a response to my issues!
    I am not able to carry out any syncs on my iphone as it crashes outlook.
    I appreciate any advice to where top look for an answer to this.

    I found a workaround and I hope this helps someone, I had a client with this issue today. Her iPhone synced up great with the outlook calendar but not with the contacts and that was what was important to her. Here is my words of advice.......
    1. Please don't bash apple on this issue, I have seen many posts that do this on this topic.
    Apple seems to be releaseing full exchange support in June.
    2. Here is what I think is going on.
    Take a look at WHAT type of set up you have on your outlook (imap, Exchange, or POP)
    If you use your outlook with imap or exchange, outlook will not create a .pst file, you will have a .ost file which seems like itunes sync cant read and you get an error. With a pop account you get a .pst file.
    Here is what I did.
    I made a personal folder and copied all of her contacts to it and changed the DEFAULT mail folder to point to the newly created personal folder. (personal folders make a .pst file)
    then I went into iTunes and started a sync and all the contacts got synced up with her phone. ( she was very very happy )
    Hopefully in June the iPhone will have full exchange support.
    Hope this helps and please correct me if i'm wrong.
    Thanks

  • Calendar Sync Issue with Outlook 2007 / Exchange

    Contacts are syncing fine.
    I;ve tried Outlook 2003 and 2007... same problem with both.
    Here's the error:
    Microsoft Office Outlook
    'OutlookSyncClient' exited without properly closing your Outlook data file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost'. 'Microsoft Office Outlook' must be restarted. If this error message recurs, contact support for 'OutlookSyncClient' for assistance.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    So here's the only solution I've got so far and obviously it is not ideal...
    I switched to a different computer and installed outlook 2003. No calendar at all prior to this. Installed iTunes 7.4.x and plugged in the iPhone. I told it to sync contacts and calendar (merge) with Outlook. I DID NOT connect this outlook client to the exchange server at all.
    Worked like a charm. I still have no idea how to get this working with Exchange. OST by default is the way cached exchange stored files... so I'm welcome to any suggestions for somehow getting everything into a clean pst file that still syncs for offline use with exchange.
    APPLE - outlook sync is an issue. It's not just me (google search proves it).

  • 8130 Sync issues with Outlook 2007

    I have a pearl 8130. My work schedule is sent to my phone but when I sync my phone to the computer, it doesn't show up in Outlook (2007).  I think it might be because of the fact that the organizer field has someone else's name on it... maybe... but I can't find any options in the manager to get around it.  I don't know where the issue is b/c I got this job at about the same time I got a new computer, new version of outlook and the blackberry desktop manager update so... if any one has any suggestions of something I could try it would be greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Do you mean other machines that configured with the same email account don't have the issue?
    Have you ever tried to manually download the Offline Address Book? On the ribbon, go to SEND/RECEIVE tab>Send/Receive Groups>Download Address Book...
    If issue persists, please first check that the Background Intelligence Transfer Service (BITS) service is running:
    Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools, and then click "Services".
    In the list of services, click "Background Intelligence Transfer Service", and then make sure that the status of this service is set to "Started".
    Outlook uses BITS to connect to the URL that's provided by the Autodiscover service. (Outlook use Autodiscover service to automatically configure themselves for access to Exchange server.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Tour Sync Issues with Outlook 2003 and Error Code 0x8004fceb

    Hello, I have a Tour with DM 5.0, which I sync with Outlook 2003 on my laptop running Vista O/S.  I am having a problem deleting items from the Tour that I've previously added via a sync with Outlook. 
    Some time after syncing, I delete the items from Outlook and then re-sync.  Instead of deleting from BB, the changes dialog box tells me the items are going to be added from the device to Outlook!!!  If I accept changes so that other calendar items will update (from Outlook to BB), Outlook remains fine, but the items do not delete from BB.
    Additionally, existing items on BB are duplicated on the BB during sync.  In other words, I have ended up with 7 entries for one appointment on the BB even though there's only one in Outlook.  This primarily happens with recurring appointments.
    Lastly, despite all this confusion, the sync ends with Error Code 0x8004fceb; check documentation, which I cannot locate on blackberry.com.
    I am set up for two-way sync, future items only.  I even reset to one-way sync from calendar to device to no avail.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Sorry. I guess I needed to be clearer I have Office SP 2.
    I will tell you that I currently running an older version of iTunes (7.3) because that is the only one that syncs.
    In the newest version of iTunes (and of course the current one) it does give me the option to sync with outlook.

    I am having difficulties syncing my iphone with Outlook 2003. My previous post has been deleted. I am seeking assistance in figuring out how I can use the latest version of itunes and the latest firmware update. With both installed, Outlook 2003 does not sync with my calendar or contacts.

  • Syncing issues with Outlook - conflict resolution

    I am having problems with syncing my bb to Outlook 2007.  I found part of my answer in old messages on the forum and changed the length of time for appointments on the bb to forever.  But as someone noted the bb will eventually fillup. 
    It wiped out my old appointments and I did not notice for several weeks.  I have bb backups on my computer and now trying to figure out how to restore old and combine with new. 
    It also duplicated some contacts.
    Finally when the synch function finds a conflict now, it will not let me deal with each conflict separately.  So I have not let it do anything in fear of it doing more damage.
    And I did not have this problem until 2 months ago.
    I have Curve 9300, software is 5.0 bundle 1576.
    Any assistance is appreciated.
    Thank you

    A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. To accomplish what you want along with having access to all server stored mailboxes and all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, you need to access the account as an IMAP account with each email client.
