Outlook Sync Error Code 0x80040fb3

I suddenly am having trouble syncing my contacts on my Storm. Calendar syncs fine, but I get that error message for my contacts. I've looked through the Knowledge Base and thus looked at the pttrace log, but I can't tell what contact is causing the issue. HELP! How do I determine by reading this log (or something different) which contact(s) is the issue?

Thank you for your response. I figured it had something like that but have been unable to identify the contact and have given up. Since the BB is corporate issue I wiped it clean once again and now synch it with GroupWise and have purchased an iPhone for personal use to synch with my Outlook contacts. Not as efficient some would say but a lot less hassles and the iPhone works so much easier and so far has been hassle free. We'll see if it continues to be. Again, thank you!

DM 6-y address Book Sync leads to error code 0x80040fb3

DM 6-y address Book Sync leads to error code 0x80040fb3. I have done the following:
rebooted 6000+ tijmes (or mabe a bit less than that)
performed a security wipe on my device
reinstalled DM 6 software several times
Had "I-Yogi" technicians try to fix
Used "cellrepair service"
Bottom line--I'm not a computer guy. I just want my BB9550 Storm to be able to sync with outlook. Calendar, Memo and Tasks sync with no problem. Address books always stops after 121 records are synced and then I get the error code.
Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. I'm now insane and don't know what to do.

That is certainly one option.
If you want to continue, here is a KB for activating advanced logging to see if that provides you with anything useful:
KB01451How to turn on advanced synchronization logging if a wired synchronization fails
I've also heard on these forums that if you export your contact list from Outlook (to CSV, ASCII or something else), the order they come out in is the same order that the synchronization works in...which might better help you identify the offending record (which you could then delete and re-create).
Good luck!

Blackberry Error Code 0x80040fb3

I have been successfully periodically syncing my Blackberry Storm to my Desktop Manager for months. Today I repeatedly received an error mid-way through the sync:
Blackberry Error Code 0x80040fb3. I have re-booted both the computer and device with no success.
The Storm is a model 9530 and the Desktop Manager is v4.7.
Would appreciate learning whether other's have had this problem and how to fix it. Thanks. -SL

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
There are 3 public KBs that reference that error code. I suggest you go here:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/searchEntry.do
and search on the code, then inspect the results for anything useful.
Further, DTM 4.7 has been updated...the current version is 5.0.1.28 and is fully compatible with all the same PIMs as 4.7. You might consider updating. You can DL versions here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
I do suggest taking, with your current version, a full backup before changing anything so that you can be sure you have a source file to recover from...one never can be too careful.
Good luck and let us know!

Popular Error Code 0x80040fb3

Greetings Folks!
This is my first post.
I have been reading the web and many, many, many, (read: ad nauseum) the various solutions to addressing this error message.
Each time I try and sync my address book, I get "Error encountered. Error code - 0x80040fb3. Check documentation."
I have tried pretty much everything I could find out there including wiping my device clean of every last morsol of infomation.
I have tried a hard reset;
Filling in First, Last, & Company name on EVERY contact in Outlook;
I have cleared the device memory of both the address book and the calendar; and
I searched and followed info on enabling advanced sync to figure out which contact was giving me the probblem.
Of course the latter was too convuluted with info for me to understand.
I am using the 8830 and have nebver had a problem with this since very recently. Sometimes when I try a sync, the record sync will stop at the same place and others it will go further into the number of records before telling me to beat it with the error code.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
thbanks much in advance.

Hi,
Let's try this:
perform a clean uninstall of the DM
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB11320&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Install this version of DM 4.2.2
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB05468&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Take these steps into consideration when installing, and kill all firewalls and virus checking.

Error code 0x80040fb3

I have a BB 8310, installed the latest updated Desktop manager and keep getting error code 0x80040fb3 when the sync is updating the CALENDAR from Outlook 2007. My address contacts update fine. It always shows the error code on record no. 74 out of 280. I looked on the log and deleted the first fail update repeatedly, but it still errors out on record 74. This is very frustrating - Does anyone else have this problem when updating the calendar for Outlook 2007?

Hi and welcome to the forums,
This is the resolution from a user with your error code.
"Finnally figured it out, I had a few contacts with pictures associated with them, when I removed the pictures from Outlook all went well..."

Error Code 0x80040fb3 - FIX (8520)

It got ERROR CODE 0x80040fb3 after I updated my desktop software to version 6. I tried to sync with Outlook (2007) and before it completed I got this error message.
I uninstalled and went back to previous version. That didn't work.
I reinstalled everything and by this time the desktop software (new version) would not even connect to my BB (Curve 8520). Thought I was toast and was getting ready to go back to my old Palm Pilot system.
Then someone suggested REMOVING MY BATTERY then try again. Believe it or not, that fixed it.
I did, however, make sure that my first sync with Outlook was a ONE WAY sync that over-wrote the data (in the desktop software setup). After I had it sync successfully I put it back to TWO WAY sync.
Very happy to have this working again - hope this helps others having the same problem!

I have the same problem with BB 8900 Curve.
Just today I installed the new BB Desktop SW 6.0
I did more or less all I red on blogs. But doesn't work.
Thanks for help.

Sync error code (-54)

I get the following error code when attempting to sync my 5s on my HP computer running Win 8:
-The iPhone 5s cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54).
I purchased AppleCare when I bought this phone and after multiple phone calls with AppleCare the last contact I had, I was told "We will review the diagnostic files you uploaded, and I will call you back." That was three weeks ago, and after sending two follow up emails, now the supervisor at AppleCare has not and does not call back to resolve. (I think AppleCare is no longer the value it once was).
Has anyone else had the sync error code (-54)?
How did you resolve it?

On the Windows version of iTunes, error -54 means a general IO error occurred that can be caused by many different things: a file is corrupt, a file is locked, or an .m4a file could not be converted to a lower bit rate.

Itunes sync error code -54

I have an IPAD2, IPOD, 5S and 6....each time I connect to Itunes I get sync error and the code is 54.
Code is not listed on Apples Support page of various codes.
Uninstalled Itunes, restarted Windows PC, dowloaded and reinstalled ITunes, same issue.
Is there a solution to this problem?

cgoodall,
Let's ensure that you can safely back up your information. Does this error appear when attempting to sync your information? Have you tried syncing your contacts through our website? http://bit.ly/1gEezVc From your phone, when going to Settings>Accounts & Sync>Backup Assistant Plus is Contacts selected?
